Yewleigh Lane, Upton-upon-Severn, WR8

Duckswich House, is an imposing property of about 8400 sq ft, which was built in 2003. The house is exceptionally generous inside, with expansive rooms and a variety of reception options to suit everything from formal celebrations to relaxing evenings as a family. The house is of a modern design but has a characterful feel thanks to the solid wood carpentry and mullioned windows found throughout, including magnificent full height semi-circular bays found in several rooms across both floors. Excellent first impressions are provided by the seven-metre-high ceiling in the entrance hall and there are staggering views to the rear, over the grounds and towards the Malvern Hills. The accommodation includes a choice of three reception rooms, a study, an open plan kitchen/breakfast room with handsome cabinetry, a large central island, an AGA and double doors to the adjoining orangery, handy laundry and utility rooms, plus seven double bedrooms all with their own ensuite facilities. Situated a few minutes from the lovely town of Upton-upon-Severn and yet immersed in wonderfully varied and well-established grounds.

Outside

The house is set within a wonderfully green position,
looking out over its grounds which amount to a total
of about 7.6 acres with a further 9.7 acres available. The feeling is decidedly rural and secluded, with no overlooking properties. The property is approached via a gated entrance flanked by mature trees, with tall, wrought iron gates swinging open to a long, sweeping driveway that winds up through park-like grounds to the house. With its double fronted red brick façade and elegant curved bay windows flanking a grand stone entryway, the house has a commanding presence within the grounds, overlooking the topiary enclosed lawns, a lake and a wide variety of well-established trees. To the rear of the property, looking towards the lake, there is a substantial terrace for outdoor dining and a flight of stone steps leading down to the lawn. The property also features a variety of
outbuildings, including several sizeable glass houses, a gardener’s office with WC., garden stores, a two-storey barn and storerooms.

Situation

The property is situated less than 1.5 miles west of the town of Upton-upon-Severn, a very pleasant riverside town which sits on the banks of the River Severn and has schools, a good choice of restaurants and takeaways, an attractive marina and a medical centre. Tewkesbury is just eight miles away and has a good range of shopping facilities, a beautiful Norman Abbey, a leisure centre, a number of eateries and public houses, and primary and secondary schooling. Schooling is particularly well served in the area with Malvern College and Malvern College International. As well as The Downs and The Elms.
