15th Century Priors Hall with Formal Gardens

This luxury property for sale is on the market for £2,950,000, listed with Strutt & Parker.

Set in 22 acres of bucolic grounds in the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Grade II*-listed Little Malvern Court offers stunning views over the Severn Valley.

Originally attached to the 12th Century Benedictine Priory, this architectural marvel offers a glimpse into the past with its impressive Romanesque church tower and medieval oak roof.

The Victorian additions, designed by renowned architect Joseph Hansom, add a touch of Gothic Revival charm.

Owned by the same family since 1530, the property was beautifully restored in the late 20th century, updated for modern day living while preserving its incredible period details, like a secret chapel hidden in the medieval oak roof of the Priors Hall, and secret rooms, concealed by beautiful panelling in the tower.

Little Malvern Court has 6 bedrooms and several reception rooms, and the kitchen and breakfast room is joined to the dining room by double doors which create an open layout.

The property benefits from lovely views over the gardens and grounds from the bedrooms and reception rooms, and there’s also a lovely patio running the length of the house perfectly positioned to showcase those views.

Surrounded by 10 acres of parkland, the property also boasts incredible formal gardens including a walled garden with a glasshouse, a rose garden and a water garden.

The estate includes 2 cottages, available as part of Lot 1. The sale presents an incredible opportunity to own a piece of history and create your own chapter in the story of Priors Hall.

The nearby Victorian spa town of Malvern offers cultural attractions, excellent schools, and a vibrant community. Worcester, with its shopping and recreational facilities, is also within reach.

And if you're in the mood for more excitement, Cheltenham is just a short drive away.
