Dorset House, 42 Lark Hill, Worcester, is an impressive Grade II listed house. Built around the 1820’s, the houses along Lark Hill command their surroundings in style and elegance. The back entrance off Lark Hill leads directly into the glazed cloister around two sides of the courtyard.

The old front door with its fan light above is at the end of a long hall overlooked in part by the galleried landing. There is a small cupboard under the main staircase and a large cloakroom. The drawing room and dining room, each have handsome fireplaces and a pair of French doors with shutters which lead out on to the verandah. The dining room in addition has a pair of fitted serving cupboards and a deep alcove.

The sitting room, once the old kitchen, still has the old range either side of which are ceiling height cupboards.

The kitchen has an attractive bay window giving access into the garden and is fitted out with cupboards, a two oven Aga and serving hatch. The rear hall with its door to the cellar also leads out to the cloister and utility room and boot/boiler room.

Above are six bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate cloakroom.

One wing incorporates the garage off Lark Hill which would include television room, former kitchen/living room and a narrow staircase leading up to the office. This is linked to the main house by a further room currently used as a sitting room.

Outside the pretty terraced garden slopes away from the house. Below the verandah is a large terraced entertaining area. The gravel path that originates from the wrought iron gate at the bottom of the garden, forks below the terrace and leads to both sides of the house including the front door on one side and on the other side, the entrance beside the kitchen.
