Seller Insight Laugherne House is a handsome Georgian Manor House, situated in the exclusive Laugherne Park development. Apartment 2 is a stunning ground floor apartment within the house, and the present owner was immediately impressed by its elegance and charm. The House enjoys an incredibly tranquil and beautiful setting, with views across the park and countryside beyond. Within walking distance is pretty Martley village, where there is an excellent high school, village store, garage, village hall and leisure centre. The friendly village has a wide selection of clubs and societies that includes a rambling group. There are numerous footpaths, and from the house you can walk across the fields to St Peter’s Church . This peaceful village is approximately eight miles from historic Worcester, whilst the M5 provides easy access to Birmingham and links with other major motorways. Martley and Laugherne House offer a serene lifestyle, and are perfect to return to after a hectic working day. The apartment has the generously sized rooms of the period, and the large sash windows flood the rooms with natural light creating a positive ambience throughout. The drawing room has a refined and graceful, yet comfortable and welcoming appeal. The beauty of the full length windows with original shutters, invite you to sit by them, relax and admire the soothing views across the park. It is also a chic entertaining venue. The beams and original fireplace add character and atmosphere to the spacious modern kitchen. Chatty meals can be enjoyed around the impressive granite table: whilst the very useful cellar is perfect for storing wine. Summer, al fresco dining on the sunny patio is a particular delight, and views to the parkland provide a fantastic setting. The outdoor communal swimming pool and tennis courts are a much appreciated facility for socialising, or combining their use with walking, for an enjoyable fitness routine. The lack of light pollution makes the night sky perfect for the present owner who has enjoyed watching the stars through a telescope. The apartment offers a pleasing way of life. The owner describes the pleasures of waking in the master bedroom with its dual aspect allowing an attractive outlook to the gardens. Sitting, with a glass of wine and a good book, on the bench under the glorious lime tree: and hearing the church bells ringing across the fields. The setting is a haven of serenity and calm. It has been an enchanting place to live for the last five years and will be sadly missed.

WORCESTER Worcester is the site of the final battle of the Civil War. The River Severn runs through the middle of this attractive city, overlooked by the 10th Century Worcester Cathedral. The county town and historic city of Worcester is just 17 miles southwest of Birmingham and 23 miles north of Gloucester. The city historically hosted a flourishing glove making industry and was the home of Royal Worcester Porcelain as well as, for much of his life, the composer Sir Edward Elgar. Providing the ideal location for retail therapy, there are three large covered shopping centres and an additional three out of town shopping parks. The main commercial centre can be found on the recently modified high street, home to a number of major retail chains and the older shopping streets contain numerous individual boutiques. There is also a racecourse, theatre, cricket club and university. The green city of Worcester provides three spacious parks and two large woodlands covering over 33 hectares. The banks of the River Severn provide an idyllic setting for an evening stroll or bike ride, surrounded by the wonderful Worcestershire countryside bounded by the Malvern Hills and pretty market towns. Historic landmarks include the spectacular Worcester Cathedral, dating back to the 10th Century and the Queen Anne style Guildhall designed by Thomas White, a pupil of Sir Christopher Wren in 1722. The latest landmark is Worcester’s new central library, ‘ The Hive ‘, a striking gold roofed building on the site of the former cattle market.
