Wharf FarmThe present owners came to live in the beautiful Teme Valley 19 years ago. They were looking for spacious accommodation, for a young family and grandma with facilities to start a riding school business. They found Wharf Farm with a history going back to 17th Century. Now family circumstances have changed and they would be delighted to have a new, young, energetic family to enjoy this house and land.

The friendly village of Stockton on Teme is situated close to the picturesque villages of Abberley and Great Witley. It is within easy distance of Tenbury Wells, Kidderminster and Worcester. There are excellent schools, both private (Abberley Hall) and state (Chantry School). The M5 makes Birmingham easily accessible.

Wharf Farm has a pleasing choice of reception rooms and is a light and welcoming home. The ground floor windows provide panoramic views as a backdrop to each room and it is most soothing to watch nature’s changing colours throughout the year. The kitchen is the busy daily centre of family life and overlooking the stable yard and pastures it enables you to watch the horses peacefully grazing.

The main living room with its beams and impressive inglenook is where you can embrace the houses warm and relaxed atmosphere. The dining room easily seats 14 people for noisy festive family meals. Working in the study you can be distracted by watching the horses in the latest stable block and from the ground floor bedroom you can gain access to the patio to enjoy the view over the rear paddocks.

Charles Britten, who has built some of the best equestrian facilities, designed the manège for the bottom yard. There are two stable blocks there. The top yard comprising 11 wooden stables with a concrete yard were added in 2007.
