Location

7 Thurston Court enjoys the most delightful of settings, tucked away in a small courtyard accessed from Bewdley's riverside. This location has so much to offer, nestling right in the heart of historic Bewdley and yet tucked away from all the hustle and bustle that comes with other parts of the town.

Like many areas in Bewdley, this location is steeped in history with Thurston Court itself once a hotel and music venue where bands including Led Zeppelin played, we believe. Just around the corner on Lax Lane are many period homes that once formed part of a thriving ropeworks which made up a substantial proportion of the town's industry at one point.

Just yards away from Thurston Court is the stunning riverside, affording the resident a beautiful place to sit and enjoy the River Severn as it meanders to Worcester and beyond. Also, just yards away is the celebrated Jubilee Gardens, a green oasis in the centre of town offering peace and tranquillity, complete with seating and a beautiful lily pool at the centre, fantastic for picnics and taking a stroll with the dog.

The town centre has so much to offer the local resident, including many interesting shops and boutiques, an array of pubs and waterfront eateries, a rowing club with an annual duck race, a cricket club, plus many attractions unique to the area such as the Severn Valley Steam Railway, Bewdley Museum and Bewdley Festival held annually. For those who love the outdoors, there is so much to explore nearby, with miles of walks along the River Severn leading to other beauty spots such as Trimpley Reservoir, Ribbesford Woods and of course the Wyre Forest Nature Reserve, which is accessed from a number of points around the edge of town.

Education is well catered for here, with well-respected primary and senior schools located within walking distance of the property.
