The property is a modernised spacious, self-contained wing of an important Grade II listed manor house, close to the west bank of the river Severn on the Gloucestershire/Worcestershire border. It has been redecorated to a very high standard and is furnished throughout with antique furniture and decorative prints.

Parts of the house date back to the 15th century, including the Medieval Great Hall built by the Abbots of the Benedictine monastery at Tewkesbury (four miles). Henry viii and Anne Boleyn are believed to have stayed here in July 1535. The present owners are the eighth generation to own the manor and its estate. The wing was added circa 1890 by the Arts and Crafts architect, Philip Webb.

Cheltenham with its racecourse, literary and music festivals and shops is 12 miles away. The cities of Gloucester and Worcester with their museums and cathedrals are both 25 minutes away. The nearby Malvern Hills and Bredon Hill provide excellent walking opportunities. There are several historic houses to be visited locally, among which Eastnor Castle (Ledbury) and Sudeley Castle (Winchcombe) are prominent. The Cotswolds' western escarpment with the gardens of Kiftsgate and Hidcote and the picturesque town of Broadway are easily reached. There are 18-hole golf courses at Puckrup (six miles) and Tewkesbury Park (five miles). The nearest pub, the Lower Lode is the approximately half a mile, there are many other pubs "with food" within a short drive. There is boating on the Severn and Avon at Tewkesbury and riding can be arranged locally.

For racing enthusiasts Cheltenham Racecourse is only a 20-minute drive away.
