LEA HOUSE

Lea House is a beautifully appointed Grade II Listed Georgian property built in 1837. The property has accommodation over four floors with a large south-west facing garden and is in the popular location of Lansdowne Crecent which is within a few minutes’ walk to the city centre of Worcester. Formerly the home of Mr Lea of Lea and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce fame, this stunning home has recently undergone a substantial refurbishment project including reroofing and insulation, re-wiring, boiler/ heating system and new AGA, as well as being tastefully decorated throughout. The views of the city and the Malvern Hills from the house and gardens are outstanding.

Ground Floor:

The property is approached from the courtyard through a large Georgian door into the vestibule which has oak flooring and a cloaks area. This leads into the entrance hall which has an original oak door leading to the rear garden - this would have been the original front door of Lea House. The whole of this floor has been restored throughout with attractive Farrow and Ball colours and provides living accommodation including a large sitting room which has shuttered windows overlooking the garden, a marble fire and hearth with a gas fire; there is also a walk-in store with original built in cupboards and shelves. There is a snug with built-in storage cupboards and a dining room with a bay window and shutters (which is currently used as a playroom). There is a guest cloakroom on this floor with WC, a hand basin and also a deep storage cupboard. There is a Fired Earth mosaic marble tiled floor.

The staircase leads from the hallway up to the first and second floors and also down to the garden level. The ground and upper floors have been re-carpeted throughout.

Garden Level:

The kitchen is a solid wood Harvey Jones kitchen which is painted using Farrow and Ball paint and has a range of wall mounted and floor units. It has a dining area and an island and includes a new multi fuel Aga. There is a built-in induction hob, dishwasher and fridge and the units are complemented with granite work tops. A separate large walk-in pantry with original deep shelving offers further storage. Also on this level is a study which has a range of built-in cupboards and bookshelves, a boot room, and a utility room which has space for a washing machine and tumble dryer and has a range of shelving and built-in cupboards, as well as a stainless-steel sink - from the utility room there is access to a vaulted cellar which is used for general storage. The garden level also has a wet room with WC and basin - perfect if you have been gardening and there is also a deep storage cupboard off.
