Maison Pershore

A beautifully restored former village bakery offering five double bedrooms, elegant period features and exceptional living space nestled in the heart of Charlton village near Pershore and Evesham.

The Old Bakery is a rare find, a substantial detached period home that blends heritage charm with modern sophistication. Originally the village bakery and store, this period residence has been meticulously refurbished over the past five years to create a warm, character-filled family home with over 3,000 sq.ft. of versatile accommodation.

Set behind electric gates, the property opens into a welcoming reception hall with the original shopfront window and bespoke cabinetry. The kitchen diner is a true centerpiece, stretching front to back with integrated appliances, a large island, dual Belfast sinks, and a Victorian fireplace. The garden/family room is flooded with natural light, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass, a contemporary wood burner, and direct access to the patio perfect for entertaining year-round.

Additional ground floor spaces include a drawing room/snug, home office, cloakroom, and a dry basement with full head height and power ideal for storage, wine or future conversion.

Upstairs, five double bedrooms each retain original fireplaces and period detailing. The principal suite offers dual-aspect views, a roll-top bath, dressing room, and luxury en suite with marble basin and wet room. The family bathroom is equally impressive, with a walk-in rain shower and standalone bath.

Outside, the gardens wrap around the house with mature planting, entertaining patios, a BBQ area and a converted hay loft/craft room above the garage. There’s ample parking, an EV charging point and a separate storage room suitable for a classic car or workshop.

Location & Lifestyle

The Old Bakery sits proudly on Brook Lane, in the heart of Charlton, one of Worcestershire’s most picturesque and well-connected villages. Just 3 miles from Evesham and under 5 miles from Pershore, Charlton offers the perfect balance of rural charm and town convenience.

This is a village with soul home to a thriving community, a village green, pre-school, church and annual summer fête. For food lovers, Charlton and its neighbouring villages deliver in style. Locals enjoy dining at The Gardeners Arms in the village, while nearby Fladbury offers The Chequers Inn and The Anchor. A short drive brings you to Evesham’s riverside restaurants, and Pershore’s Georgian high street, with independent cafés, pubs and eateries.

Merry Brook runs along the boundary to the property, reassuringly to purchasers the house has never flooded owing to its elevated position, prior to the 2020 waterflow controls the lower garden and garage would puddle.

Families benefit from catchment access to Prince Henry’s High School and Bredon Hill Academy, alongside nearby primaries including Cropthorne with Charlton C of E First School and Fladbury C of E First School. Independent options such as The King’s School Worcester, Malvern College and Abberley Hall are all within reach.

Despite its peaceful setting, Charlton is superbly connected. The M5, M40 and M42 are easily accessible, Birmingham Airport (BHX) is under 40 minutes, and direct trains to London Paddington and Birmingham run from Evesham, Pershore and Worcester stations.

Whether you’re seeking a slower pace, a vibrant community or a base with brilliant connectivity, Charlton delivers and The Old Bakery is one of its finest homes.
