SPRINGWELL

Springwell is a magnificent, recently refurbished, six bedroom detached property in a highly sought after and prestigious location near Stourbridge. The stunning Edwardian property was built in 1927 and has kept many of its period features such as solid oak flooring and ornate plasterwork. These touches of character have been incorporated into the recently upgraded modern features creating a luxurious family home. The elevated property boasts an exquisite garden, designed by Deborah Dean, a Chelsea Flower Show award winner.

Ground Floor:

Walking through the front door of Springwell takes you into an inner porch which flows into a grand reception hall. This leads into a vestibule which further flows into a garden porch. This side of the property has the two principal reception rooms: the drawing room and the sitting room. The drawing room boasts triple-aspect windows, giving lovely views of the front and rear gardens and an impressive fireplace with a recently installed multi fuel log burner.

The formal dining room is located along the hallway to the kitchen, along with a newly refurbished downstairs cloakroom and expansive solid oak utility room. The current owner has had a new bespoke solid oak fitted office installed which is perfect for those that work from home. The kitchen itself is very spacious with a large island and is a beautiful bespoke Winchmore masterpiece made from solid oak and has a stunning orangery which has a dining area and sitting area with underfloor heating and newly fitted electrically operated blinds. There are two cellars at Springwell, one giving access via a tunnel to facilitate access underneath the whole ground floor of the property.

Viewing is highly recommended as the current owner has undergone a full refurbishment of the property including replacing upstairs windows, installing a custom made solid oak staircase, radiators, a new high efficiency dual central heating system, new carpets, electric wiring, almost a third of a mile of hardwood skirting boards and architrave, new bespoke oak doors, chandeliers, ensuite bathroom, decorative period plasterwork and a host of other fabulous additions which make the house the perfect “turn key“ acquisition for the new owners. A figure of around £600,000 has been spent with no expense spared to make this a truly one-off family home with workmanship that is second to none.

Seller Insight

Hidden away behind two sets of electric gates just metres away from open countryside, yet within striking distance of central Birmingham, this recently refurbished 1927 built property boasts period features galore and a spectacular garden.

“I just love the grandeur of it; it’s a stunning property which, years ago, was the principal property in the area,” says the owner. Built on a large scale, all the rooms are grand with tall ceilings and the well-established gardens were designed by a Chelsea Flower Show Winner. The owner has taken great pride in turning this once tired property into a highly desirable home; “with no expense spared I have brought it back to life and it is now the ultimate turnkey property. This said, with the right consent there is scope to further extend into the loft space with two additional bedrooms each with ensuites.”

Located in the desirable Racecourse Lane area of Stourbridge, a market town historically known for being at the centre of British glass making during the Industrial Revolution, Springwell sits set back from the road and enjoys a great deal of peace and quiet. With an orangery added two decades ago, more recent work includes the replacement of all upstairs windows for thermally efficient fittings, the reinstatement of period features, the installation of a bespoke oak kitchen and a full re-decoration. “No corner has been left untouched” adds the owner.

“The wrap-around gardens are very private and not overlooked – the nearest neighbours are around 15-20 metres away, all of whom are lovely people who are easy to get on with.”

“Above the triple garage is a very large space which we’ve used as a games room. There is also a handy workshop and plenty of space to park ten cars.”

“The drawing room is a favourite space – a large and attractive room it extends from the front of the house to the rear. It has French windows for accessing the garden, great when one wants to step outside for a sundowner under the new gazebo.”

“Set on the edge of Stourbridge, the semi-rural area offers amazing walks with the option of open fields or public footpaths. The town centre can be reached by car in around 5 minutes and by foot in around 25 minutes.”

“Springwell is well located for just about everything, from good schools and train stations to the M5 and country pubs.”*

There is an oversized triple garage with a gardener’s WC and a large games room above with loft space.
