The Grade II listed property is one of the finest residences in the Georgian town of Bewdley, set on the River Severn.

Built in the early 18th century, Glenhurst is nestled within a private walled garden with south-west facing views over the sloping lawns with colourful borders and mature trees. 

Accessible from a winding gravel drive and via charming wrought-iron gates, the property has an air of grandeur and romance. 

Inside, the home has been beautifully restored to showcase classic architectural details and generous proportions with original wooden beams and floors and fireplaces. 

The 7-bedroom property is spread across 3 floors with a grand staircase, with incredible reception rooms on the ground floor. 

The stately residence is where the future 3-time Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, 1st Earl Baldwin of Bewdley, held meetings in the panelled dining room in 1907, with Winston Churchill in attendance. 

In addition to the handsome reception rooms, the property has a large kitchen/breakfast room that opens out to the courtyard lounge, and below to the vaulted cellars, offering plenty of space to be reimagined as a screening room or entertaining space. 

There are outbuildings and a workshop on the property, in addition to a 2-bedroom coach house located across the courtyard. 

The property also has planning permission for a 3-storey extension in the courtyard. 

An incredible micro-estate in the heart of a charming Georgian town, 22 miles southwest of Birmingham.
