Seller Insight

Rashwood View is aptly named, as this superb Georgian home enjoys spectacular views across the green and rolling Worcestershire landscape. When the present owners discovered the property, it was dilapidated and sad, but they saw the huge potential to renovate and create a modern and comfortable home whilst also maintaining its charming original features.

The large property consisted of the main house and the servants’ quarters and stables. They sold the house and retained the servants’ quarters and stables which were transformed into a home which is a seamless mix of period characteristics and a stunning modern extension. All work was completed to the highest specification and care taken over the detail, including matching the new wooden Georgian style sash windows to the originals, adding wooden shutters throughout and ensuring modern comfort with underfloor heating.

The house is a collection of fantastic spaces that flow easily and are perfect for family living and large-scale entertaining. There is an individual and appealing style throughout the house and several wow factors that include the vast gable end window in the lounge. It has glorious panoramic views that sweep across the gardens and countryside. You can settle on the window seat to watch the constantly changing weather and seasons. It is a home that allows you to experience being at one with the peace of the countryside.

The Shaker style kitchen was designed to the standard required by a chef and is the perfect place for daily meals and entertaining, whilst the walk-in pantry is a useful asset in a family home. Ten people can sit round the huge granite island and in summer you can open the patio doors to create a perfect al fresco dining area with a most picturesque background. It is a home that is probably best when full of people and will easily accommodate over 100 guests who can wander both in the gardens and the house.

The easy blending of old and new give the house enormous and appealing character, and the superb main hallway, with its beamed and vaulted ceiling gives way to a modern media wall in the lounge, or the massive sky lights that flood the kitchen with natural light, to the welcoming and agreeable period bedrooms. It is a very special home.

The garden is a place to sit ad savour the tranquillity which surrounds you and is an oasis of calm. Rashwood View is a very private property but from the end of the drive it is a short walk to Starbuck’s for a coffee or the Robin Hood for a meal and Droitwich is only a mile away, giving you the best of town and country living. The easy access to the M5 is perfect for the commuter.

The current owners are very sad they have to leave Rashwood View where they have appreciated such a superb lifestyle, but they are having to relocate. They take away many very happy memories.*

LOCATION

Rashwood View is situated within Droitwich Spa, a historic town within the Wychavon district of northern Worcestershire, on the banks of the River Salwarpe. The River Salwarpe takes its name from the Anglo Saxon ‘sal’ meaning salt and ‘weorp’ meaning to churn up, describing the salt brines which the river flows across. Droitwich shopping is mainly focused in the traditional town centre around Victoria Square, leading to the St Andrew’s Square shopping centre and down to the original High Street, with its local pubs and an eclectic mix of traditional shops. Farmers’ markets are also held regularly in Victoria Square.

The cathedral city of Worcester, lying on the banks of the River Severn, is some 6 miles south, providing for high street and boutique shopping, and characterised by one of England’s great cathedrals, county cricket ground, racecourse and university. The Worcestershire village of Ombersley (4.5 miles), where the Duke of Wellington was a regular visitor to The Court, is defined by its chocolate box street scene, Checketts delicatessen, gastro pubs, restaurant and cricket club.

The M5 motorway (accessed via junction 5 of the M5 at Wychbold or junction 6 at north Worcester) provides for ready access to Birmingham and the surrounding industrial and commercial areas, as well as Birmingham International Airport and the M40. London is best accessed by the M40, via the M5/M42. The M5 south also provides for commuting to Cheltenham and its racecourse, Gloucester and Bristol. Worcestershire Parkway railway station, situated to the east of Worcester, off junction 7 of the M5, is intended to increase the capacity to London as well as reduce journey times. This has already had 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. These include Bromsgrove School, Malvern College and both The Kings Schools and Royal Grammar School.

For days out and recreation, Rashwood View is well placed for ready access to the north Cotswolds and Broadway, as well as Stratford-uponAvon, Great Malvern and the Malvern Hills, and Ludlow.
