An apartment in a building once used by King Henry VIII as a hunting lodge in Worcestershire has gone on the market.

Westwood House in Droitwich Spa was built in the early 17th century and is now a Grade I-listed building divided into 12 self-contained flats.

It lies in Westwood Park, which is itself a Grade II-listed in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens, and was for several centuries the seat of the Pakington family.

Historian T.R. Nash once described the rare architecture of Westwood as resembling a Norman chateau.

In his History of Worcester, Nash wrote: "Westwood House consists of a square building, from each corner of which projects a wing in the form of a parallelogram, and turreted in the style of the Chateau de Madrid, Paris, or Holland House."

The apartment at Westwood House lies just two miles from the town centre of Droitwich Spa and seven miles from Worcester.

The two-bedroomed apartment on the second floor of the property has a guide price of £320,000 and is up for sale with the Droitwich branch of Nicol & Co.
