Own a piece of history: unique Grade II-listed Victorian cemetery cottage in Worcestershire

A Victorian cottage that lies in the grounds of a Worcestershire cemetery is on the market with leading county estate agency Nicol & Co.

Cemetery Lodge is a Grade II-listed detached residence on Rectory Road in Upton-upon-Severn Cemetery and has a guide price of £300,000.

Eleanor Stallard, sales and valuation manager at Nicol & Co, explained that the two-bedroomed property was built in 1867 during the construction of the cemetery.

Mrs Stallard said: “Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a charming piece of history in a beautiful setting.

“This unique property, which has no onward chain, would be perfect for buyers looking for a home with historic charm and character.

“The lodge lies within the tranquil grounds of this historic cemetery, with a well-kept garden wrapped around the property providing a place to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

“Inside, there are two reception rooms and two bedrooms, with the flexibility to potentially use the second reception room as a third bedroom on the ground floor.

“There is a gentle blend of period features and modern conveniences with a modern kitchen diner, a large shower room on the ground floor and an additional toilet upstairs.

“This property is ideal for professionals, or anyone looking to downsize while enjoying a home with historical significance, or indeed investment buyers looking for a unique holiday let.”

Rectory Road is close to the shops and other local amenities in Upton-upon-Severn, a town and civil parish in the Malvern Hills District of Worcestershire.

The town, with a population of nearly 3,000, lies on A4104 road and the west bank of the River Severn. It is around five miles south-east of Malvern and just a short drive away from Junction 8 of the M5 motorway.
