At one time ''Chadwick House'' served as the vicarage to the village church and the house took it's name from a Mr Chadwick who paid for the construction of the house and other buildings in the village. The resources to do this came from the invention of the wooden cotton reel which was patented by Chadwick. It is believed that a tunnel was constructed between the church and Chadwick House.

A plaque on the front of Chadwick House carries the date of 1883 and the property has some fine Victorian architecture. The house has mellow brick elevations beneath pitched and gabled tiled roofs. Some fine stone detailing includes hood moulds, window mullions and surrounds, cornicing and a most interesting oriel window. The interior has generously proportioned accommodation, ideal for family occupation and entertaining. An extensive refurbishment has produced a residence of considerable style and quality. Some features worthy of particular note include substantial panelled doors, numerous fireplaces of different designs and the exceptional plasterwork mouldings throughout the house. All the windows have been replaced and double glazed.

The small sought after village of Hints is located near the Staffordshire border about five miles from Sutton Coldfield. The hamlet nestles in a small valley created by Bourne Brook, which offers some lovely walks from the ford below Hints. The village is situated just off the A5 and as such has very good access to the Midlands road network. The A38 dual carriageway is about two miles distant and junction 10 of the M42 is about six miles away. It is about six miles to the Cathedral City of Lichfield and Hints is within easy reach of a number of regional centres with central Birmingham being about seventeen miles away. The M42 provides fast and easy access to the M6 / M1 and M40 for London and also provides a direct link to the NEC and Birmingham airport which is nineteen miles away. There is a nearby railway station at Tamworth where regular trains operate directly to London Euston.
