Pye Corner Broadway

Pye Corner in on the edge of Broadway, a classic English town in Worcestershire.

Pye Corner Broadway is a gorgeous large, classic eight to ten bedroom 17th century Cotswold country house with not only the most lovely gardens but a slight oriental theme; reflecting the owner’s heritage. A warm, rich period house in a classic Cotswold setting with open country views on three sides in a peaceful situation yet it is only an eight minute walk from the centre of the classic town of Broadway; with its pubs, restaurants and a fantastic deli.

There are six first floor bedrooms – two en-suite – and two second floor bedrooms that are ideal for children sharing; as they have a playroom and bathroom betwixt the two. The master en-suite bedroom features antique Chinese furniture, an Opium Bed complete with steps – if you have one too many a sherry for Christmas lunch – and hand painted Chinese murals.

The large eat-in kitchen, with large French doors on both sides, provides lovely views and access to both the kitchen garden and formal gardens and the main formal dining room seats up to 20 people in front of the large inglenook fireplace. Please note the piano is more a decorative antique than a fine instrument!

To complement the bedrooms there are seven bathrooms with copious amounts of hot water, which is not that common with such large houses. There is also a self contained two bedroom flat above the kitchen breakfast room – accessed separately from the main house – that can be rented with the main house if required; ideal for older children or staff perhaps. When not required the flat is not rented separately.

During 2021 the house had extensive refurbishment and upgrading including the fountain and swimming pool, the installation of new wood-burning stoves in the snug and sitting room and redecoration of the top floor bedrooms and flat.

The two acres of formal gardens are gorgeous and tucked away at the end a heated (seasonal) and gated swimming pool, with pool house and a children’s play area. And there is also a stocked vegetable garden and one acre orchard that guests can help themselves to.

Pye Corner is also an ideal base for Cheltenham and the races as it is not only just 15 miles away but the re-opened steam & diesel Heritage Railway line – running directly between Cheltenham Racecourse and Broadway – is only a 10 minute walk from Pye Corner.
