Location
Situated in beautifully unspoilt countryside on the Herefordshire and Worcestershire border, a few miles north of the historic market town of Bromyard.
Wisteria House Heart of England
A country gem with extra sparkle
Wisteria House combines contemporary luxury with classic good looks. In the unspoilt countryside where Herefordshire meets Worcestershire, it’s a welcoming, wisteria-clad home where family and friends can enjoy each other’s company without fuss or ceremony. Oh, and there's a beautiful indoor heated swimming pool!
Grab a book from the shelf or watch Sky TV in front of open fires in the comfortable living rooms. Rustle up scrumptious suppers in the well-equipped kitchen, with the American-style fridge freezer, four-oven Aga and electric cooker making life easy. And dine together around a table that comfortably seats 18.
Step outside, into the shade of the English country garden, which was designed by Chelsea Flower Show gold medal winner Robert Myers and is awash with seasonal colours and scents. While the children play on the swings, set up the croquet on the lawn, then fish, boat or take a dip in the double pond. And if it feels a bit chilly for wild swimming, jump into the indoor pool where you can do a few lengths or just splash about with the kids.
Next, pile into the games shed for table tennis and table football, before throwing a few steaks on the barbecue. While they cook, pop the Prosecco and relax as the sun sets over the sweeping lawns.
The stylish interiors and laid-back luxury that are the hallmarks of Wisteria House extend to the nine bedrooms. When you’re ready to hit the hay, the pocket-sprung, duck down mattresses and Egyptian cotton sheets invite untroubled slumbers with dreams of tomorrow’s adventures.
