The Hall
Whitbourne Hall stands as a magnificent Grade II* listed Greek revival manor house, meticulously crafted in 1862 by the renowned architect E.W. Elmsie, who also graced the landscape with the iconic Great Malvern railway station. This lavish estate is a quintessential representation of neo-Palladian architecture, distinguished by its commanding six-column portico, an awe-inspiring Palm House and attentively designed gardens that accentuate the allure of the south terrace, Italian garden, kitchen garden and rockery.

Stepping inside reveals interiors of unparalleled grandeur. A majestic atrium captivates with its rare blue and white stained-glass ceiling, while the main reception rooms resonate with the timeless elegance of their original features. In the mid-1990s, the estate underwent a transformation, evolving into 23 distinct properties, yet preserving four original reception rooms. Residents are privileged to utilise these stately rooms for their private gatherings, including an opulent hand-painted drawing room, a formal dining room, morning room and a meticulously fitted library. Additionally, these spaces can be reserved for grand events, adding an extra layer of sophistication.


The gardens and grounds
The property also benefits from nine acres of stunning communal gardens within the manicured grounds of Whitbourne Hall. These beautifully maintained gardens provide a serene and picturesque environment, perfect for relaxation and enjoying the outdoors.

Highlights include a formal Palm House, a Victorian walled kitchen garden cultivated by residents in an allotment style, picturesque Victorian glasshouses, expansive lawns punctuated by pavilions and an enchanting Italian knot garden encircled by lovingly sculpted yew hedging, all surrounded by the breathtaking views across the Herefordshire and Worcestershire scenic countryside.

Residents have access to an array of communal formal rooms, including the Dining Room, Drawing Room, Morning Room, Library and a Catering Kitchen, these rooms can use used for personal or private events (with a maximum of 10 weddings allowed per year). Beyond the communal rooms, residents have exclusive access to a woodshed located in the adjacent wooded area. The former tennis court has been transformed into a communal BBQ area. Furthermore, designated areas are allocated for drying laundry and housing small animals, such as chickens.

Residents have the option to utilise the basement for storage purposes, whether it be as a wine cellar or to house additional household appliances like freezers.

Each household is entitled to parking for two cars and may apply for both an allotment within the walled Victorian kitchen garden and a greenhouse space.

Garaging facilities are available upon request.

Revenue generated from weddings, corporate events and photography shoots contribute to the general maintenance of the building and grounds. This helps to keep the service charge stable for the residents and maintain a reserve fund, whilst having minimal impact on those days on which events take place.

The apartment has mains water, electricity, oil fired central heating, communal Victorian drainage and full fibre broadband. It is a resident owned freehold with a 950 year lease.

The monthly service charge of £289 covers buildings insurance, sewage disposal and community water and electric contracts. Ground rent is £10 per year.
