Greensforge Lane, Kinver, Stourbridge, Staffordshire, DY7

Set in an extensive plot of approx. 6.07 acres, Gothersley Hall offers a total of 7,736 sq ft of highly specified living accommodation together with double garaging and detached, self-contained annexe, close to the ancient village of Kinver.

Approached via a country lane, Gothersley Hall is an Art Deco country house constructed in the 1920's. Totally refurbished by the current owners over the past two years, the Hall still retains a wealth of its original features. The restoration included new windows throughout, period cast iron radiators, brand new kitchen and bathrooms, the installation of 900mbps broadband with data ports and full led dimmable lighting. The modernisation lovingly retained a wealth of period features such as original panelling, original panelled doors, ornate mouldings and original beams.

Whilst now being a country home ideal for modern living, historically the Hall was once the home of Wizard frontman Roy Wood, who wrote the hit 'I wish it could be Christmas everyday' in the kitchen.

Entered via a new front door, the inner porch has double doors which open to an imposing, octagonal entrance hall. Walnut panelling frames the polished porcelain floor and original stone fireplace with wood burner. Three reception rooms are accessed from the entrance hall and together provide excellent entertaining and living space. The dual aspect drawing room is flooded with light via the bay window, and includes original panelling.
