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.”*
