About this property
Evesham 6.5 miles. Hazeldene is an impressive detached house near Harvington, Worcestershire. Set within extensive grounds, enjoying far-reaching countryside views, this pet-friendly retreat offers exceptional space for large family gatherings and celebrations with friends, with sleeping arrangements for up to 16 guests across the main house and self-contained annex. Positioned within easy reach of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Hazeldene combines generous living accommodation with outstanding leisure facilities both inside and out. Arrive through the electric gated entrance and follow the driveway towards the house, where ample parking and wrap-around gardens create an impressive first impression. Surrounded by open grounds, the property immediately feels designed for special occasions, offering plenty of room for families, friends, children, and four-legged companions to enjoy time together.
Stepping inside, you're welcomed into a spacious entrance hall that hints at the scale of the accommodation beyond. The heart of the home is the striking open-plan living space, where a vaulted ceiling creates an impressive sense of volume above. Gather around with morning coffee as sunlight pours through the bi-fold doors, then slide them open to allow the garden to become an extension of the living area. Whether preparing meals, socialising over drinks, or simply spending quality time together, this expansive space naturally brings everyone together throughout the day. When it's time to relax, retreat to the sitting room, where the woodburning stove provides a warm focal point on cooler evenings.
Settle down in front of the television with a favourite film or enjoy a quieter moment beside the fire, before opening the French doors and stepping directly onto the patio to enjoy the fresh Worcestershire air. As evening approaches, eight thoughtfully arranged bedrooms provide plenty of space for everyone to settle in after a day of exploring. The accommodation includes a convenient ground-floor double bedroom, three doubles, and two king-size bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, offering flexibility for families and groups of friends travelling together. Serving the remaining bedrooms is a well-appointed family bathroom, where a freestanding bath invites long evening soaks and a walk-in shower makes for an invigorating start to the day.
Occupying the second floor are two particularly impressive king-size bedrooms, reached via a landing overlooking the entrance hall through a glazed balustrade. Making the most of the property's elevated position, these restful retreats enjoy panoramic countryside views through Velux windows and Velux balconies, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the surrounding landscape from the moment they wake. Both bedrooms benefit from en-suite shower rooms, while one also features a built-in wardrobe, creating a wonderful private haven within the home. Outside, Hazeldene continues to impress. Spend afternoons challenging one another in the separate games room, organise friendly tournaments in the sports area, or sink into the bubbling hot tub beneath the open sky as the day draws to a close.
The outdoor bar creates the perfect setting for celebratory drinks, while the generous gardens provide ample space for children to play and pets to roam. An outdoor dining area allows everyone to gather together for leisurely lunches and memorable evening meals surrounded by countryside views. For added convenience during your stay, a traditional pub can be reached with a pleasant walk from the property, while a shop is only a short drive away. The charming village of Broadway offers one of the finest introductions to the Cotswolds, where visitors can climb Broadway Tower for sweeping views across multiple counties, browse independent boutiques and galleries lining the historic high street, and enjoy scenic countryside walks through rolling hills and picturesque villages.
In Cheltenham, discover elegant Regency architecture along The Promenade, spend time exploring Pittville Park and its historic pump rooms, or enjoy the town's thriving cultural scene through its theatres, festivals, and independent eateries. Closer to home, Bretforton provides a wonderful glimpse into traditional Worcestershire village life, where guests can visit the historic Fleece Inn, admire the centuries-old St Leonard's Church, and explore a network of footpaths that wind through orchards and rural countryside. Whether you're celebrating a milestone occasion, reuniting generations of family, or bringing friends together for an unforgettable escape, Hazeldene offers exceptional entertaining space, superb leisure facilities, and a fantastic Worcestershire setting from which to create lasting memories.
