Whitbourne is a haven of rural bliss in Worcestershire with its picture postcard cottages, apple trees and country lanes – and it’s also the childhood home of Game of Thrones star Kit Harington.
The village on the outskirts of Worcester could be straight from a TV set, so it’s no wonder the actor felt right at home when his family moved to Worcestershire when he was 11-years-old.
There’s even the regal-looking historic grandeur of Whitbourne Hall, where a luxury apartment within its stone columns, marble hallways and venetian glass decor is currently for sale on Rightmove for offers over £285,000.

You can live like a king, or queen, ‘of the north’, in the elegance of palatial Whitbourne Hall, close to the village shop, pub and village hall in central Whitbourne. This is from where Harington – known worldwide as heroic Jon Snow in Game of Thrones – travelled to Chantry School in Martley and later Worcester Sixth Form College.
This unique two-bedroom apartment has a memorable first impression as you make your way through the eight acres of land to a grand pillared entrance.
AP Morgan Estate Agents in Bromsgrove explains how the entrance opens into an impressive communal atrium boasting an Italian marbled staircase, Minton tiled floor and views above to the Venetian style glass roof.
It is a first floor apartment that looks out across scenic views and working farmland, close to the Worcestershire and Herefordshire border and River Teme. A stunning county that has prompted Harington, a Worcester Warriors rugby fan, to say “Worcestershire will always be my home”.

Inside, there is a feature fireplace with Franco Belge log burner and double height ceiling in the lounge. Feel inspired by the surroundings when cooking in the stylish kitchen, while there’s two double bedrooms with modern en-suite bathrooms.
What sets this property apart is access to four communal reception rooms that are soaked in Victoriana features from fireplaces to wooden panels.
Plenty of space to walk around too as the grounds feature beautifully maintained formal gardens with immaculate lawns, an Italian landscaped garden with fountain along with a walled garden with allotments and greenhouses.
