Welcome to Bowling Green House
Bowling Green House is a substantial and wonderfully versatile family home, positioned on the edge of Hanley Castle with open countryside immediately beyond the garden.
Comprising approximately 2,960 sq ft of accommodation, the house has been thoughtfully extended and adapted to create an exceptionally flexible layout, offering up to six bedrooms. The generous reception rooms and additional living spaces also provide room for family, guests, home working and accessible single-level living, all within one connected home.
Built in the early 1970s and owned by the same family for more than four decades, Bowling Green House is a home that has evolved with family life.
A Home Designed to Adapt
One of the greatest strengths of Bowling Green House is the flexibility of its accommodation.
Alongside the principal living spaces, the ground floor includes a generous bedroom or living room with its own accessible en suite. Level access and a separate external entrance make this ideal for anyone requiring single-level accommodation, while its connection to the wider house allows it to remain part of everyday family life.
A further two-storey section includes a separate living room on the ground floor and a large bedroom with its own bathroom above. This provides excellent space for relatives, guests, older children or live-in support without creating a completely separate property.
First Impressions
The approach immediately creates a sense of space and privacy.
A generous driveway provides ample parking, while established trees and mature planting soften the exterior and create an attractive arrival. The house sits comfortably within its gardens, with the open land beyond adding to the feeling of peace and seclusion.
Inside, the central hall connects the main living spaces and leads naturally towards the kitchen, reception rooms and first-floor accommodation.
The Heart of the Home
The breakfast kitchen is a warm and practical room designed for everyday family life.
Fitted with Italian marble worktops, the kitchen features a traditional three-oven AGA with twin hotplates. There is room for informal dining, making it a natural place to cook, gather and start the day.
The adjoining dining room provides a more formal setting for family meals and entertaining, while a large utility room offers further storage, appliance space and direct access to the additional ground-floor accommodation.
Living Beautifully
The principal living room is one of the largest rooms in the house and offers plenty of space for family life and entertaining.
A wood-burning stove creates a welcoming focal point, while the wide connection to the sunroom allows the two spaces to work beautifully together. Doors and windows draw in natural light and provide a lovely relationship with the garden.
The Sunroom
The sunroom is one of the most peaceful spaces within Bowling Green House.
The connection with the main living room makes it ideal for entertaining, yet it retains its own quiet and relaxed atmosphere.
And So to Bed
The first floor offers four bedrooms within the principal part of the house, together with a further bedroom in the extended two-storey section.
The principal bedroom is generous and complemented by an en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. Three further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, providing flexible space for children, guests or working from home.
The additional bedroom is particularly spacious and has its own bathroom, making it ideal for extended family or visitors who would benefit from a greater sense of privacy.
Accessible Ground Floor Living
A generous ground floor bedroom or living room provides valuable single level accommodation.
Designed to support accessible living, the room has its own en suite wet room and benefits from level access through the rear of the property. It could serve as a bedroom, private sitting room, hobby space or comfortable accommodation for a family member requiring fewer stairs.
Underfloor heating adds further comfort, while its position within the house keeps it closely connected to the main living areas.
The Gardens
The gardens wrap around the house. Mature trees, shrubs and established planting create privacy, while the rear garden provides space for outdoor dining, entertaining and quieter moments. The outlook across neighbouring open land gives the garden a wonderfully open feel.
Everyday Practicality
Bowling Green House is heated by two air source heat pumps, which were installed in 2010 and serviced in spring 2026. The accessible ground-floor accommodation also benefits from underfloor heating, while the wood-burning stove provides an additional source of warmth.
Life in Hanley Castle
Hanley Castle is a sought-after Worcestershire village surrounded by attractive countryside.
There are plenty of footpaths around the village, making it easy to enjoy walks directly from home. The setting feels peaceful and rural, while remaining within practical reach of Upton-upon-Severn, Malvern and Worcester for shopping, schools and everyday amenities.
A Home for Every Generation
Bowling Green House offers the space and versatility to adapt to many different ways of living.
With five first floor bedrooms, accessible ground-floor bedroom accommodation, a further private living area, generous reception rooms and mature gardens, it is particularly well suited to larger families and multi-generational households.
Offered with no onward chain, this is a rare opportunity to create the next chapter in a much-loved and exceptionally flexible home.
