Description of property• Dating back to 1898, Arrow Lodge is a fine Victorian home

which lies adjacent to the river Arrow in the heart of Alcester

town centre. The property is of mellow red brick construction

under a tiled roof and has been the home of the town’s doctors

since its construction, having had only four owners during that

time. Whilst the property has been updated and is in fabulous

order an array of original features have been restored and

retained, these include Minton tiled flooring, ornate cornicing

and stained glass windows. The property occupies an

impressive plot of about 1.25 acres which includes beautifully

tended mature gardens and a walled kitchen garden

• The handsome front door features lovely detailed brass

furnitures and gives access into an inner vestibule where a

further glazed door opens into the large main reception hallway

from which doors radiate off to the principal reception rooms

and stairs rise to the first floor

• The substantial drawing room benefits from high ceilings and a

dual aspect with bay window overlooking the river. A beautiful

fireplace with carved wooden surround provides a lovely focal

point to the room

• The sitting room offers similar proportions and again benefits

from a bay window and feature fireplace

• The dining room overlooks the rear courtyard and has parquet

flooring and a further feature fireplace

• The kitchen has been recently updated and features bespoke,

cream units topped with granite surfaces and high quality Miele

integrated appliances as well as a gas fired AGA. A door leads

out to the rear courtyard garden whilst an inner door leads

from the kitchen into an adjacent, well appointed pantry which

benefits from a continuation of the cream fitted units as well as

space for an American style fridge freezer

• The study lies to the side of the property with a dual aspect

toward Henley Street and to the rear courtyard. The room

features wood panelling on the walls and built in book shelves

• A guest cloakroom and separate utility room complete the

ground floor whilst a door from the main hallway leads down to

a substantial dry cellar with two compartments

• As the stairs rise to the first floor there is an impressive stained

glass window on the half landing which provides a wealth

of light and colour. The first floor landing provides access to

four double bedrooms including the master. Each of these

bedrooms benefits from grand proportions and high ceilings.

There is a beautifully appointed family bathroom as well as a

separate shower room and separate WC on this floor which all

of the bedrooms make use of

• The staircase continues from the first floor landing to the

second floor where there are two further generous double

bedrooms

Gardens and grounds• To the front and side of the property is a block paved driveway

which provides plenty of space for parking as well as access

to the property’s two garages. The first is a double which is

attached to the house and benefits from power, light and water.

An internal staircase leads to a large room over. This space

along with the garage below offers scope for conversion into

additional accommodation if so desired and subject to the

relevant planning consents. The second garage, a substantial

single, again benefits from power and light as well as a useful

mechanics pit

• The substantial plot is divided into several areas with the

main gardens situated beyond the house and bordering the

raised riverbank. The beautifully tended gardens are laid out

over several levels. They are mainly laid to lawn and feature

a range of mature trees, shrub and flowering borders as well

as manicured hedging. Alongside the formal gardens is an

impressive walled kitchen garden which is a perfect space for

the keen gardener to grow their own produce
