Six great country houses, from £1.2 million to £13.5 million, as seen in Country Life
One of the grandest country houses in Worcestershire is amongst this our pick of the homes featured in Country Life over the past couple of weeks.
Worcestershire — £13.5 million
Ombersley Court is as grand as property gets: 30,000 sq ft, Grade I-listed, literally dozens of rooms, and spectacular throughout.
The ground floor, first and second floors have a string of bedrooms, grand halls, boudoirs, kitchens and more — but there's also a basement which, according to the floorplan, has a further 19 rooms to do with as you will. What a game of hide-and-seek that could be.
