Homes in Bewdley
Bewdley is a Georgian riverside town on the River Severn, with a Thomas Telford bridge and a historic centre of Georgian and older buildings, many listed. The town is a conservation area, and Wribbenhall on the eastern bank has its own older buildings. Many older buildings along Severn Side and Load Street date from the town's time as a river port.
Post-war and newer housing has been added on the town's edges. The Wyre Forest lies to the west. The Severn floods regularly, and Bewdley has demountable flood barriers to protect Beales Corner. The Severn Valley Railway stops at Bewdley. Flood risk and the condition of older buildings are the main survey considerations. Expect strong demand and high prices for period homes. Older buildings may have cellars and solid walls prone to damp.
Areas we cover include Wribbenhall, Far Forest, Callow Hill, Wyre Hill.
