Weeford Road, Sutton Coldfield, B75

Private Luxury Property are delighted to bring this rare opportunity to the market.

Set behind electric gates and nestled within a private plot of approximately 1¼ acres, Vesey Grange is a truly exceptional detached residence exuding country elegance and historic character. A distinguished six-bedroom home with outbuildings; including 3 stables, a tack room and coach house with first floor office and gym. 

A sweeping driveway with parking for 8 plus cars leads to this handsome home, where a grand flagstone entrance hall, complete with a welcoming fireplace, sets the tone for what lies within. Rich in character and heritage, Vesey Grange offers a wealth of beautifully proportioned rooms and refined period features.

The generous drawing room is centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with French doors opening onto the mature rear gardens—an ideal space for entertaining or enjoying peaceful evenings. The family room offers a charming bay window that floods the space with natural light and provides views over the sun terrace.

At the heart of the home is a classic farmhouse-style breakfast kitchen, complemented by a walk-in pantry, a separate laundry room, and a cosy conservatory, which offers exciting potential for extension— the current owners were considering a leisure suite with gym and swimming pool.

The house flows seamlessly across two staircases: the principal grand wooden staircase leads to a bright open landing, while a striking spiral stone staircase—typical of homes built under the patronage of Bishop Vesey—adds a unique architectural flourish.

The principal suite includes a spacious bedroom with original stone fireplace, a private dressing room, and an elegant en-suite bathroom, also accessible from the second bedroom. Three further bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom are located on the first floor, with two additional bedrooms and another bathroom on the second floor.

Equestrian & Outdoor Living
To the side of the driveway lies a gated paddock with easy access to the stables, yard and tack room—making this home perfect for those with equestrian interests. The gardens are mature and private, wrapping around the house and offering a serene setting for family life.

Historic Significance – A Legacy of Bishop Vesey
Vesey Grange is steeped in history, bearing the architectural hallmarks of Bishop John Vesey, a notable figure in 16th-century England and an influential Bishop of Exeter. A trusted advisor to King Henry VIII who granted Sutton Coldfield the Royal Tudor Rose and gifted Vesey the land which is now Sutton Park.

Bishop Vesey was instrumental in transforming Sutton Coldfield, he paved the streets of the town, founded and endowed the free grammar school, gifted Sutton park to the residents of Sutton for common use, and built 51 stone houses marked by distinctive features like the spiral stone staircase which is still present at this property today. Only 5 of the 51 stone houses still exist and Vesey Grange is one of them.

This rare opportunity combines timeless charm, flexible living space, and scope for future enhancements—all within a Grade ll* historic and much-loved setting. Vesey Grange invites you to become part of its enduring legacy.
