Property Description

Kerswell Green Farmhouse is a distinctive black and white, thatched Grade II listed building. The central section of dates back to the mid 1300's. It was substantially extended into what it is today in the 1500's. Further additions were added in the 17tth, 18th and 20th centuries. Sadly, in more recent years the property has fallen into disrepair and now requires full restoration and refurbishment. This presents a unique challenge but offers a buyer an opportunity to take on a project and create a unique and impressive family home.

Planning Consent

Planning and listed building consent was granted by Malvern Hills District Council some years ago for the house to be renovated and extended. As the work was started by the current owners the consents will not need to be renewed. Detailed drawings of these alterations can be obtained by the selling agent.

History

Debrett history of the farmhouse shows that there has been 12 owners since circa. 1400 and the current owners are the second since 1945. One of the more fascinating aspects is that the farmhouse is the reputed home of Edward Winslow, the Pilgrim Father who sailed to America in the Mayflower in 1620 and who served as Governor of the Pymouth Colony.
