21, Berrow Court, Upton-upon-Severn, Worcester, WR8 0JP

Retire in Style to Berrow Court. 21 Berrow Court is a two bedroom cottage with patio garden and garage. The property is located on a purpose-built retirement development for the over 55s.

Management services are provided by Cognatum Estates, a not-for-profit organisation and one of the UK's leading companies in retirement housing.

Berrow Court takes its name from the area known as Buryfields, the raised ground above the Ham flood plain and the site of an ancient Burgh or ‘Berrow’.

The architecture is distinctive, with tile-hung and rendered facades, and the cottages and apartments overlook either an attractive garden courtyard or the water meadows of the Ham.

It is just a five-minute walk into the centre of the riverside town of Upton-upon-Severn, a place of great charm with its mix of half-timbered and Georgian buildings.

It has plenty of shops, a bank, a public library and essential services such as doctors and dentists. There are a variety of pubs as well as the excellent White Lion Hotel, which dates back to 1510.

There is a good range of clubs, societies and annual festivals, and Upton Marina is large, modern and well-equipped to take advantage of England’s longest river and other nearby waterways.

The county town of Worcester is only 20 minutes away and offers an interesting variety of museums and galleries as well as its stunning waterside cathedral.

The 18th-Century neo-Palladian mansion at Croome Court, surrounded by extensive landscaped parkland, is also only a 10-minute drive from the estate.
