Severn Stoke, Worcester, Wr8

This is a beautifully restored historic village home with landscaped gardens backing onto open countryside.
Formed from the oldest part of the former Boar’s Head Inn, Knights Oak is a captivating and highly individual period home dating back to Tudor times, with recorded use as an inn from 1725. The property was sympathetically converted in 1999 and has since been extensively renovated and upgraded, blending rich heritage with refined modern living.
Behind its characterful façade lies a deceptively spacious and versatile home, offering over four bedrooms, multiple reception spaces and a wonderful connection between house and garden, all set within the heart of the sought‑after village of Severn Stoke.
Accommodation
The front door opens into a welcoming dining room, where exposed ceiling beams and a wood‑burning stove immediately set the tone. From here, the accommodation flows into a superb sitting room, a generous dual‑aspect space centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with wood burner, exposed timbers and bay window.
A separate study provides an ideal home‑working environment, while the rear of the house is anchored by a beautifully appointed kitchen, fitted with contemporary units, granite worktops, a Stoves range cooker and underfloor heating. French doors open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless indoor‑outdoor feel.
Open plan to the kitchen is the vaulted oak‑framed garden room, crafted by local specialists Mitre Oak, a light‑filled space overlooking the garden and fields beyond. A utility room with WC completes the ground floor.
The property also benefits from a substantial vaulted cellar, arranged in two rooms and offering excellent storage or further potential use.
To the first floor, a characterful landing with exposed beams leads to four bedrooms, two of which enjoy stylish en‑suite shower rooms. The principal bedroom is dual‑aspect and enjoys views towards the Malvern Hills. A well‑appointed family bathroom completes the accommodation.
Outside
The landscaped rear garden is a particular highlight, arranged over two levels and backing directly onto open fields. The lower level offers composite decking and paved seating areas, an outside fireplace and the original well and pump for the coaching inn, which now provides water for the garden. It further includes timber outbuildings and log store. The upper garden is laid to lawn with gated access to the countryside beyond and additional garden storage.
To the rear of the plot is a private driveway with parking for two vehicles and an EV charging point.
