An Award-Winning Border Oak Home in Ashton Under Hill

Ashbee is a truly exceptional self-build property, constructed in 2007 by the renowned Border Oak and winner of the coveted Wychavon Design Award. Built in the timeless Arts & Crafts style, with a beautiful catslide roof and exquisite craftsmanship throughout, Ashbee combines character, sustainability, and modern comfort.

Set within 1.14 acres of immaculately cared-for grounds in the desirable Worcestershire village of Ashton Under Hill, this home offers a rare opportunity to own a property that is both architecturally significant and deeply inviting.

The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged to suit a variety of lifestyles. A ground floor en suite bedroom provides flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or those wishing to future-proof their home. The remaining three bedrooms are located upstairs, alongside an impressive main bathroom with a freestanding Victorian-style tub and a walk-in double shower. The principal reception rooms balance elegance with warmth: a substantial sitting room with oak beams, a wood-burning stove, and a bay window looking onto the gardens; and the heart of the home, an enviable kitchen with space for lounging and dining in the wonderful sun room with vaulted ceilings. Here, a classic grey shaker kitchen is complemented by a Britannia range oven, while the dining area is filled with natural light and enjoys views over the garden. Practical touches include underfloor heating, a utility room with direct access to the garden, perfect for dogs and muddy boots, and a ground floor cloakroom.

The gardens are a highlight of Ashbee. Extending to just over an acre, they have been lovingly maintained and provide colour, structure, and beauty throughout the seasons. Expanses of lawn are framed by vibrant flower borders, while a productive vegetable area and a small woodland of mature trees complete the picture. Every window frames a green and calming outlook, bringing the outside in. A two-car barn and workshop add to the property’s practicality.

Life in Ashton Under Hill is every bit as appealing as the house itself. Nestled at the foot of Bredon Hill, the village is known for its thriving community spirit, excellent primary school, and highly regarded Bredon Hill Academy. The acclaimed local pub, The Star, is at the heart of village life, and miles of countryside walks begin right on the doorstep. Despite the peaceful rural setting, the village enjoys good connections to nearby towns and transport routes, offering convenience as well as charm.

Ashbee will appeal to many, whether it is retirees seeking a welcoming home with a strong sense of community and the comfort of ground floor living, or families searching for their forever home with space for children to grow, play, and explore in a safe and inspiring setting. With its award-winning design, oak-framed character, beautifully tended grounds, and idyllic location, Ashbee is not simply a house, but a home of rare distinction.
