Lineholt, Ombersley, Worcestershire

RED ROOF

Set within 21 acres of its own land, this newly built contemporary farmhouse style property occupies an elevated position with a rear aspect looking over expansive lawns, lakes and meadows leading to the River Severn. Enjoying breathtaking, far-reaching views of nearby Shrawley Woods and beyond to the Malvern Hills, Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this is a prime spot for taking in the natural landscape. A large, well-appointed private property laid out over three generous floors it has been designed to offer space and luxury in equal measure.

The elevated setting of this recently constructed detached country home takes full advantage of the captivating views across the River Severn towards Shrawley Woods and beyond. A country estate of some 22 acres (not verified) encompassing gardens, paddock, lakes and meadows adjoining the River Severn, with fishing. Much potential for further estate enhancement with permitted development rights maintained. Red Roof is a modern, insulated construction set over three floors providing for a sought-after mix of open plan and private space, along with five bedroom suites. A detached garage with further accommodation completes the picture. A rare opportunity.

Ground Floor:

Walking through the front door of Red Roof takes you into a spacious, light and airy entrance hallway. This leads directly into the open plan kitchen, dining/family room with a wonderful Inglenook fireplace and log burner, triple aspect windows showcasing the surrounding views and bi-fold doors leading onto a balcony looking out over the estate, along with underfloor heating. There is a study/snug at the front of the property and a utility/boot room with a separate door leading outside and a WC.

Seller Insight

We acquired the whole estate in 2016 and having razed the previous property to the ground we designed and built a highly desirable home in the classic Cotswold architectural style,” say the vendors. Although traditional looking at the front, the rear plays host to modern double height windows on the ground and first floors, and a glass fronted balcony serving the principal bedroom on the second. Boasting large light filled spaces, such as the kitchen/ diner/reception room on the first floor and the vast basement entertainment area, it also offers cosier spaces. “It’s an incredibly practical, versatile, and comfortable home with five ensuite bedrooms, space to relax and a fully powered double garage with an office above. The position of the property is simply stunning; set on a hill it has views as far as the eye can see.”

“Red Roof – rurally set between Worcester and Kidderminster – is a complete new build and one-off property. The incredible countryside position means one is always connected to nature, whether watching buzzards, red kites and deer or marveling at sunrises, sunsets and clear night skies. The lake has an island which one can canoe over to for picnics, wild swimming, camping and fishing. Both the lake and river have specimen fish and multiple fishing pegs. There are plenty of trees on the land such as damson and apple, ancient oaks and small leaved lime.”

“The peacefulness and feeling of calm experienced here is much like that of a retreat – Red Roof really does feel like a luxury hideaway.”

“Lineholt is more an area than a village, however it has a strong community feel. The property is in a great catchment area for schools and has good bus services. It is just 15 minutes from the M5, while nearby Worcester Parkway offers regular services to London Paddington.”*

LOCATION

Red Roof is located in Lineholt and comes under the jurisdiction of Wychavon District Council.

Lineholt is located 3 miles from Ombersley, which is one of the most sought-after and charming villages in Worcestershire. The first known reference to the village was the granting of a Charter to Abbot Egwin, later Saint Egwin, of Evesham Abbey in 706 AD. Ombersley was part of a Royal Forest until 1229. The forest gives the village its name.

The village of Ombersley boasts a whole host of amenities including a renowned butchers and deli shop (Checketts), delicatessen, primary school, doctor’s surgery, parish church and post office, together with many public houses and restaurants.

More extensive opportunities for shopping, leisure and education can be found in the nearby centres of Worcester, Bromsgrove and Kidderminster. Worcester is 7 miles away, Droitwich Spa 5 miles, M5 (junction 5) 6.5 miles and (junction 6) 7.5 miles, Birmingham 24 miles. There are direct train lines to London from Worcester and Birmingham. The new Worcestershire Parkway is located 14 miles away (20 minute drive), which is intended to increase the capacity to London as well as reduce journey times. This will have a significant impact on Worcestershire’s accessibility to the capital and other regional centres.

If education is a priority, then Worcestershire is blessed with an enviable mix of schooling at all levels, including a variety of independent establishments, allowing parents to select the right environment for their children’s needs. The King’s School Worcester and The Royal Grammar School are located in the heart of Worcester city centre.
