Victorian Game Keeper’s Lodge in Rural Worcestershire Comes to Market

If you’ve ever dreamt of owning a charming countryside retreat steeped in history, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. Nicol & Co is delighted to bring to market a rare and characterful Victorian game keeper’s lodge in the peaceful village of Earls Croome, around 11 miles south of Worcester.

Known as The Lodge, this unique property is being offered with a guide price of £600,000 and offers an idyllic blend of period charm and modern-day comfort.

🏠 A Home with History and Heart

Dating back to the 1850s, The Lodge was once part of the historic Croome Estate and has been lovingly maintained to retain its original character. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by features that speak to its heritage, including a welcoming living room centred around a log burner – the perfect spot for cosy evenings.

The bright breakfast kitchen is thoughtfully modernised, while the ground floor bathroom adds practicality without compromising the home’s charm.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms enjoying tranquil, uninterrupted views over the gardens and surrounding fields – a reminder of the peaceful rural setting this property offers.

 🌴Glorious Grounds and Countryside Views

Sitting on a generous 0.43-acre plot, The Lodge’s grounds are a real showpiece. From the charming wooden gazebo to the garden bar perfect for summer entertaining, the outdoor space is designed for both relaxation and socialising.

Practicality hasn’t been overlooked, with a laundry room, gardener’s toilet, and a selection of outbuildings adding extra convenience.

An oakframed garage completes the picture, with an additional versatile space known as Little Lodge above – currently used as a home office but easily adaptable for a range of uses.

📍 Location: Rural Serenity with Great Connections

Earls Croome is a welcoming village with a strong sense of community. While it offers a peaceful rural feel, it’s just a short drive to Upton-upon-Severn and Malvern, both known for their independent shops, pubs, and cafés.

There are also excellent schools in the area, plus great road links to Worcester, the M5, and M50 – making this property ideal for both commuters and countryside lovers.

Eleanor Stallard from Nicol & Co’s Malvern office shared her thoughts on the property:

“This is truly a one-of-a-kind character home with glorious grounds and breathtaking views. The Lodge has been tastefully updated to preserve its heritage while ensuring modern-day comfort. It’s the perfect blend of history, charm, and practicality – a rare find in today’s market.”
