Church Street, Broseley

A once in a lifetime opportunity to become the new custodians of the historic Grade II Listed Raddle Hall in Broseley. This unique, spacious and well-presented property is centrally located, with beautiful gardens, outbuildings and period features throughout like the historic spider web window which is made out of iron.

Description - Raddle Hall was built in 1663, according to the plaque on the wall, and is thought to be the oldest house in Broseley.

The house was thought to have been named Raddle Hall due to its red brick colour (Raddle is an old English word for red). Brick built houses would have been a novelty at the time, when most buildings in the area would have been half timbered.

The house is associated with at least two notable local historical figures: John Onions and John Randall.

A plaque, presented by the Broseley Local History Society, is on the wall commemorating John Randall's association with the property, and the owners have collected a considerable amount of history regarding Raddle Hall and its previous occupants.

The property had been divided for at least 150 years, when it was three properties, according to the John Onions sale particulars. The division was well established in 1877, so had already been in place for sometime, at that point. For this reason the property is sometimes referred to as 20-22 Church Street.

Coming up to date, the present owners purchased the property 20 years ago, at which point it was still divided and suited their needs for multi-generational living. In 2019, the owners decided to bring the house back into a single dwelling once more, for the first time in around 200 years.

Raddle Hall today, although considerably extended on the Ground Floor in comparison to 360 years ago, is as close to its original state as it has been for the majority of its existence. The owners see themselves as custodians of this beautiful property and now look forward handing that baton on to the next in line.

Location - Raddle Hall is located in the heart of Broseley, a popular small town on the south bank of the historical Ironbridge Gorge with a thriving community and offers many amenities plus two primary schools. The nearby towns of Bridgnorth and Telford both offer excellent state schools and the county town of Shrewsbury can be reached in 40 minutes where the well regarded private schools Shrewsbury School and Shrewsbury High School can be found.

International airports can be found in Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool.
