Seller Insight

It was the location of the property which first drew me to Woodland House,” says the current owner. “Set in the stunning countryside of Worcestershire, the house sits on 6 acres backing onto woodlands, yet still enjoys superb transport links. We bought the property at a time that I travelled a lot on business, so the swift access to motorway networks, a train station and airport was fantastic. The house is perfectly located for shops, restaurants, and schools, with all amenities within easy reach.”

“The plot size was perfect, too, given we were looking to redevelop the property,” the owner continues. “Sadly, the existing property was beyond repair, but we took the opportunity to demolish and rebuild something even better in its place,” the owner continues. “Two years of planning and 18 months of development later, we have a fantastic home which is perfect for everyday life and entertaining alike. This truly is a party property both inside and out, whether hosting a movie night in the state-ofthe-art cinema room; a spa day in the purpose built pool room; or a formal meal in our spacious dining room, cooked in a stunning kitchen which lends itself perfectly to budding chefs. We have held birthday parties and engagement parties with guest numbers ranging from 12 to 55 here, with all our family and friends enjoying the house and garden.”

“The garden is south facing so this allows us to enjoy the outdoors for a lot longer during the summer,” says the owner. “Thus, we make great use of the outdoor kitchen for both dining and relaxing. I love to just sit out in the peace and quiet admiring the unspoilt view of the woodlands, though the space is plenty big enough to entertain friends and family, too. We have fenced the main garden and front drive to allow pets to roam securely and children to play safely, so the outdoor space is perfect for the whole family to enjoy.”*

LOCATION

Belbroughton is a picturesque village with three pubs, Ye Olde Horseshoe Inn with its fantastic open fire and friendly service, The Talbot which is a gastro pub with a brilliant menu, fine wine and great outdoor area and the local Belbroughton Club. There is a family run café, The Deli which serves a fabulous breakfast and a special afternoon tea, a couple of salons - Clent Hair Salon and Beautoxology Clinispa, a convenience store with a post office, a primary school, cricket club and a beautiful church steeped in history.

Woodland House is very well placed for ready access to a number of important regional centres. Birmingham city centre lies to the east, Wolverhampton to the north, Worcester to the south, and further afield is Hereford to the south west, Cheltenham and Shrewsbury to the north west. Closer to home for more daily requirements is Stourbridge, Kidderminster, Bromsgrove and Droitwich Spa. For high street shopping there is Merry Hill and Touchwood at Solihull. For days out and recreation, there is Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick and its castle, and the west coast of Wales at Aberdovey.

Access to the M5 south can be made at Worcester for onward travel to the south west peninsula and Bristol. Access to the M5 north can be made at Halesowen and for onward travel to the east and the capital at Lydiate Ash for London, London Heathrow and Birmingham International Airport.

The county town of Worcester is the site of the final battle of the English Civil War, dissected by the River Severn, and identified by a heady mix of historic buildings including its ancient cathedral and magnificent Guildhall.

If education is a priority then Worcestershire is blessed with an enviable mix of schooling at all levels, including a variety of both maintained and independent establishments, allowing parents to select the right environment for their children’s needs. Belbroughton Church of England Primary School is found within the village with schools in the independent sector including Winterfold House Preparatory School at Chaddesley Corbett, Kings Schools and Royal Grammar Schools at Worcester, Old Swinford Hospital School at Stourbridge, and Bromsgrove School at Bromsgrove. The University of Worcester also continues to expand, and the city is increasingly recognised for its status as a focal point for higher education as well. The iconic Library has, in recent years, added to the dynamic city landscape.
