35 Bedroom Detached House For Sale in Lickhill Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire, DY13 8RL

35 12

Lickhill Manor is thought to have been built originally around 1700, for the Folliot family, but was substantially extended in the late 17th or early 18th century, when it acquired its classical Georgian frontage.

It had been abandoned by the 1930s but during the Second World War was used as a maternity unit for women from Birmingham, as a refuge from the wartime bombing. Among those born at the unit, on 29 December 1941 was Ray Thomas, a founding member of rock group, The Moody Blues.

It then became a hotel until it was bought as a family home in the 1950s. It was later converted into a care home which closed down in 2012.

The manor house is partly surrounded by the 65-acre Lickhill Manor Caravan Park. It stands in its own grounds beside the River Severn, accessed via a shared private road.

The property’s main building has been extended with two single storey wings on either side and the ground floor currently includes 15 ground floor bedrooms, along with two sitting rooms, a dining room, kitchen, staff rooms, communal bathroom and boiler room, with staircases and a lift. There are a further eight bedrooms and bathrooms on the first floor, while on the second floor are two storerooms and another 12 bedrooms, as well as more bathrooms. Among the interior features are panelled rooms and an early 18th century staircase as well as armorial glass in the stair windows dating from the late Victorian period when it was owned by the Crane family, whose monograms appear in painted plaster on the ceiling.
