Bushley Green, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire/Worcestershire Borders GL20 See map

Dating to around the 17th Century and Grade II listed, The Stalls is a handsome timber framed building that occupies a wonderfully secluded location at the end of a privately owned driveway, surrounded by open farmland.

The house extends to nearly 4,000 square feet (excluding outbuildings) over two floors and is offered to the market in great condition having been significantly improved after the current owners purchased in 2007. The house has lovely feeling with character features such as fireplaces and exposed beams. It is also well-proportioned throughout briefly comprising a kitchen/breakfast room with separate pantry, three reception rooms, a utility room, cloakroom, five bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a further first floor WC.

There is a large attic space that makes for great storage. Towards the rear of the house with clear scope to easily become an annex, there is a generous ground floor bedroom suite complete with a dressing room and bathroom. Furthermore, attached but independently accessed, is a large home office which has previously been used as an artists’ studio with consistent light due to the large north facing window.

The cottage gardens are a particular feature of the property being very private and peaceful. In spring, the wild garden in front of the house is a sea of colour from March to the end of May. Anemones, chionodoxa and primroses are followed by narcissi, specie tulips, and snakeshead fritillaries, finishing with cowslips and quamash.

Surrounded by mature hedge and tree lined boundaries, there are colourful mixed borders, rolling lawns, a productive vegetable garden and a range of fruit trees. In front of the house, there is a large mature orchard of cider apple and quince trees, with grazing for sheep beneath.

Additional outbuildings include a substantial single garage/storeroom, a leanto potting shed, a brick chicken house with a large covered pen, a timber tractor shed, and a small red brick building formerly known as ‘the Otterhound feeding shed’. All of the above are versatile spaces that offer the possibility of conversion, subject to the necessary consents.

There are no public rights of way across the property but there is good access to local footpaths and the surrounding countryside.
The driveway from the public road is privately owned by the Forthampton Estate and leads all the way down to Bredon School.

The property has never flooded despite being within a short distance of the River Severn.
