Superb Blakedown Cottage S59587

About this property

Ivyseat Hall is a beautiful stately country house set in an estate of around 132 acres in picturesque north Worcestershire countryside. The Hall itself, built in 1710, is a Grade II listed Queen Anne residence of great character and charm, with later additions keeping with the style of that period. It is yours to enjoy if you are planning a party or luxury short break for a large group. Whether you have in mind a family gathering or reunion, a murder mystery setting of character or perhaps a special wedding venue, this is the perfect location.  

The luxuriously appointed Hall, complete with indoor swimming pool, is a fabulous residential venue providing exclusive use in the main house for up to 43 guests. For larger groups the venue is able to accommodate more people by using cottages on the estate and other accommodation near by.

Excellent road links to both the M5 and M42 and the close proximity of Birmingham International Airport make it a convenient location to reach.
