Description
Historic Property in Worcestershire’s Most Sought-After Villages
This exquisitely restored Georgian manor house is set within 90 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds adorned with ancient trees. Once a residence for royalty, its rich history is reflected in the elegant 19th-century portico, the Grand Hall, and the impressive reception rooms, along with luxurious bedroom suites. Original period features such as ornate fireplaces and intricate moldings harmoniously blend with modern finishes. Ombersley Court, a historic country estate, has been meticulously renovated to the highest standards while preserving its original charm and significance. Built in 1730 for the first Lord Sandys, it remained in the same family for 300 years, hosting notable figures like the Duke of Wellington, who recuperated here after the Battle of Waterloo. Accessed via a long, winding driveway, the entrance features a striking 19th-century portico. The Grand Hall boasts a double-height ceiling with detailed moldings and cornicing, flanked by two fireplaces adorned with the Sandys family coat of arms. The two principal reception rooms, both west-facing, feature hardwood floors and oak paneling, with one room intentionally left unfinished for a custom family kitchen. The property includes three additional reception rooms, such as The Boudoir, which offers views of the Malvern Hills and was once used by Prince Regent George IV. The first floor features six bedrooms, including the Duke of Wellington’s room, preserved in its original state. Most bedrooms are tastefully refurbished with en-suite bathrooms featuring bespoke cabinetry and heated marble floors. A gallery overlooking the Grand Hall connects the bedroom wings. The cleverly redesigned second floor offers self-contained accommodation with a large reception room, kitchen, and six individually designed bedroom suites. An extensive cellar spans the property's footprint, ideal for leisure amenities. The grounds also include Grade II* listed stables around an open courtyard, currently serving as workshops and storage, with potential for conversion into residential or office space. Additionally, a detached four-bedroom cottage in immaculate condition is available by separate negotiation. Ombersley Court is beautifully situated amidst its 90 acres of meticulously maintained gardens, designed in the early 18th century by John Webb for the Marchioness of Downshire, featuring sweeping lawns and over 200-year-old specimen trees, along with a walled kitchen garden designed by Webb in 1812.
