Seller Insight

We knew we were going to live here even before we saw The Coach House simply due to the stunning approach. We were just mind blown as we arrived through the London Arch main entrance and down the long, sweeping driveway to encounter the stunning Georgian properties for the first time. The whole location is perfect as there’s no through traffic or noise other than birdsong, yet we’re only 15 minutes away from Worcester, so it really is the best of both worlds here,” say the current owners.

“We’re very fortunate to be surrounded by so much history. Worcester has an abundance of culture and character and we enjoy attending the Three Choirs Festival and music events at Worcester Cathedral, as well as the theatres in Malvern and Cheltenham. The surrounding villages offer a huge range of foodie pubs from traditional to gourmet, so it’s always a pleasure to dine out.”

“We’re nestled right in the middle of Coombe Court and make full use of the free passes to explore the museum, Mansion House and the extensive surrounding park land. Our sons are keen runners and they always enjoy an uninterrupted 5k along the wonderful cross-country paths or alongside the river which is full of swans, geese and ducks. We can’t imagine a better place to live and this year has really demonstrated that to us. It’s been our own little hideaway, a haven even, where we have found sanctuary in a beautiful location. We’re one of only a few properties who have our own private garden where we have enjoyed al fresco dining and parties to tinkling from the impressive water feature. The summer house is fitted out as a games room which provides a perfect escape for children and adults alike.”

“We’ve lived here for nearly 3 very enjoyable years where we have made genuine friends. We truly believe that it’s the whole package here as we bought into a beautiful house in an amazing location, alongside a very sociable community of friendly and like-minded people. We enjoy BBQs and socially distanced picnics in the park together, but it’s never intrusive and we all value our own privacy. We’ll miss all of this as well as the view from our very special breakfast nook area which offers a stunning outlook over the park,” conclude the current owners.
