The Timber House - sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms


A beautifully crafted oak-framed house brimming with period character and quirky interior design, tucked away on an idyllic 35-acre country estate. This extraordinary escape offers peace and seclusion, but is surrounded by fantastic attractions like Cadbury World, West Midlands Safari Park, Worcester, Astley Vineyard, The Black Country Museum and The Belfry. Whether you’re gathering as a family or group of friends, it’s the perfect place to unwind, socialise and reconnect with nature in style.

-
Built using authentic methods and materials, and lovingly styled with eclectic, playful furnishings, this unique 4-bedroom house is ideal for a family or group looking for something special. With its exceptional living and outdoor spaces, the property is perfectly suited to celebrating a special occasion or for a relaxing group retreat.

The spacious farmhouse kitchen with its large, reclaimed wood table is perfect for breakfast, while the formal dining table in the living room is ideal for a more indulgent feast. Evenings can be spent relaxing in the elegant living room or cosied up around the snug's log burner on cooler nights. Each of the property's four bedrooms is a spacious and distinctively stylish retreat for enjoying a relaxing night's sleep. The magnificent master bedroom, with sumptuous king-size bed, stunning views and spectacular en suite with roll-top bath is an outstanding highlight.

Outside, guests can spend their stay relaxing or socialising on the terrace, enjoying dinner or cocktails with stunning meadow views. Surrounded by 35-acres of wild meadows and picturesque farmland, adults can unwind surrounded by nature while children can explore all the way down to the meandering stream or the field where rare flowers and orchids grow.
