Olive Grove

Mount Severn is a locally heritage-listed Art Deco property that beautifully incorporates distinct neo-Georgian elements, including a symmetrical facade, a steep roof, a stone portico, and a centrally placed window with classic louvered shutters. Occupying a prominent and sought-after vantage point, Mount Severn directly overlooks the picturesque War Memorial Park and benefits from views towards Ribbesford, Abberley, and Arley Kings. The property was constructed in 1931 by renowned local builder Thomas Vale & Sons who built Mount Severn as a premiere detached villa, in a style similar to the former Lucy Baldwin Maternity Hospital that once stood just a few hundred metres away.
