Description

A truly unique opportunity to purchase ‘The Castle‘, an imposing detached property, rich in history. Featuring original elements from the 1700s, the property has been thoughtfully expanded over the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries, and sympathetically restored by the current owners over the past nine years to offer a meticulously crafted family home.

The current owners have carefully incorporated many original and reclaimed materials, blending modern techniques with respect for the historic character of the home. This preserves the unique connection to its original owner, JM Woodward, an archaeologist and avid photographer who worked on the nearby Bordesley Abbey. In 1840, Woodward extended the property by adding to the Tower, the oldest part of the building, which dates back to the 1700s. Today, the property offers expansive, meticulously finished accommodation, a stunning rear garden with a beautifully designed summerhouse and workshop, as well as a three-story tower with a roof terrace. The entire estate is enclosed within a gated entry, framed by restored sandstone brick walls.

On the ground floor, the accommodation includes a canopied entrance porch and a welcoming hallway leading to a cozy snug room with a log-burning stove. There is also a utility room with a WC and a boiler room, as well as garden access, and an impressive bar room boasting a wine cellar, skylight, and French doors opening to the garden. The beautifully appointed kitchen/diner is the true heart of the home, offering ample space for table and chairs and showcasing quarry-tiled flooring, original stonework, an array of wall and base units with integrated appliances, and bi-fold doors to the garden. Off the kitchen, the spacious formal lounge offers a feature open fire with an elegant surround. Additionally, the kitchen leads to a home office with a WC and access to the garage.

On the first floor, the landing features a balcony and leads to six well-proportioned bedrooms and a striking Moroccan-style shower room. The spacious master bedroom overlooks the rear garden and includes an en-suite with a walk-in shower. Bedroom two is a double room with built-in wardrobes, while the third double bedroom offers access to a rooftop through its doors. Another sizable double bedroom includes a loft room with a fitted ladder. Additionally, there are two further single bedrooms, with bedroom five also benefiting from its own loft room, accessed via a fitted ladder.

The three-story Tower is accessed from the first-floor landing via a spiral staircase. It cleverly incorporates a modern bathroom on the second floor, featuring a freestanding bath, WC, and wash basin. On the third floor, there is a walk-in mezzanine shower room, and the fourth floor offers a versatile space with access to the rooftop terrace.

Located in the garden is a fully equipped summerhouse with an adjoining workshop and separate WC. Fully plumbed and fitted with electricity, it provides a versatile space for work or entertaining, complemented by an outdoor decked seating area and a covered BBQ space.

The garden is wonderfully established and offers a private rear aspect, featuring a spacious paved patio with pergola seating, a well-kept lawn bordered by beautifully stocked planted beds, fruit trees, and a bark-covered play area. The patio extends to additional seating areas and a pathway leading to the decking and summerhouse.

Situated in Headless Cross, which remains a very popular suburb of Redditch, offering catchment to the well-regarded local schooling. The town of Redditch offers easy access to motorway links (M42, Jct 2&3) and good rail and bus links. There are also excellent leisure facilities along with cultural attractions, and the Kingfisher Shopping Centre.
