Homes in Stourport-on-Severn
Stourport-on-Severn is a Georgian canal town, built in the eighteenth century where the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal meets the River Severn. Its basins and warehouses are surrounded by Georgian and Victorian buildings, many listed, and the town is a conservation area. The Tontine, a former canal hotel, overlooks the basins.
Post-war estates and newer developments have expanded the town, with Areley Kings on the western bank of the river. The Severn floods regularly, affecting low-lying areas near the basins and riverside. Stourport is popular as a day trip destination, and some properties are holiday lets. Flood risk and the condition of older buildings are the main survey considerations. Expect many older homes to have issues with damp. Burlish has larger homes and post-war estates near the heathland nature reserve.
Areas we cover include Areley Kings, Burlish, Wilden, Lickhill.
