Whitbourne Hall is situated in a peaceful and idyllic setting surrounded by beautiful countryside at the end of a private driveway. It is ideally situated for exploring the wealth that both Herefordshire and Worcestershire have to offer. The market town of Bromyard (4 miles) offers a range of independent shops, churches, supermarket, primary and secondary schools, leisure facilities, library and a theatre. The cathedral cities of both Worcester and Hereford are approximately 10 miles and 19 miles distant respectively, allowing very easy commuting access, whilst access to the motorway network, via junction 7 of the M5, is approximately 13 ½ miles distance. Excellent railway links to Birmingham New Street and London Paddington can be made via Worcester.
Whitbourne Hall was built in the 1860s by the Evans family who were inspired by the ancient architecture seen on an archaeological trip round Greece and the eastern Mediterranean. The Hall carries a wealth of elegant and refined period features, from the fluted columns with the decorative embellishments, from the atrium with its marble staircase to the colourful mosaic style flooring. The The apartment is situated on the first floor of the atrium with its signature glass roof. Tall doors lead you into the entrance hall where there is a storage cupboard. The kitchen has an array of units, a white butler sink, space for a freestanding oven and fridge / freezer and plumbing for a washing machine lies within the storage cupboard to the hallway. The L shaped sitting / dining room has deep skirting boards and coving, and tall sash windows throw in an abundance of natural light. From the windows, your eyes are drawn through the portico to the gardens and rolling pastural landscape beyond. The sitting room has an open fireplace with cast iron inset and there is ample space for a dining table and chairs. Stairs rise to the first floor where there is a mezzanine bedroom which has pine flooring and there are fitted storage cupboards. The bathroom has a walk-in shower. Stairs rise again to the second floor where there is a further bedroom which has storage into the eaves. As a resident of Whitbourne Hall, you are entitled to use the impressively proportioned ground floor reception rooms - the drawing room with its painted panels of cherubs, vases and flowers and wall mirrors, the library with original bookcases, the sitting room, dining hall and kitchen.
Whitbourne Hall is simply beautiful. The terraced lawn to the rear of the hall is a wonderful place just to sit and enjoy the beauty of the surroundings and the sounds of the birds and the wildlife create a feeling of peace and relaxation. To the lower terrace level there lies an Italian garden of low yew hedges with gentle curves and scrolls. The centrepiece of this part of the garden is undoubtedly the fountain. There are approximately eight acres of grounds to use and many mature tree specimens will be found within the arboretum including Californian Giant Sequoias. Within the grounds there is also a kitchen garden with allotments and there is also a greenhouse. Ample graveled parking will be found to the front and side of Whitbourne Hall.
