Main Property Description

A Grand Grade II Listed Home in Historic Shenstone with Cottage, Barn and Glorious Grounds

Welcome to a truly exceptional home. Built circa 1840 and set within  approximately 1.8 acres of private grounds in the heart of the village of Shenstone, this Grade II listed country residence has been lovingly cared for by the same family for over 40 years. It is rich with history, charm and potential, and ready for its next chapter.

The Grand Entrance and Hallway
The journey begins at the impressive semi-circular front porch, complete with original cornice, columns and pilasters, crowned by a beautiful fanlight window. Step inside and you’re greeted by a spectacular hallway with high ceilings, detailed panelling and a sense of grandeur that sets the tone for the entire home. The original main staircase and a separate servants’ staircase reflect the home’s period heritage.

Formal Reception Rooms
To the front of the house, the formal dining room overlooks the garden and driveway through tall sash windows. A handsome stone fireplace forms the heart of the room, making it perfect for both formal occasions and relaxed family dinners.

The formal lounge is equally inviting, with a striking marble fireplace and dual aspect views over the front and the rear gardens. The high ceilings, original features and calm atmosphere make it an ideal space for entertaining or quiet evenings in.

Snug

At the heart of the home lies a cosy snug, beautifully designed for comfort and relaxation. A fitted log burner makes this the perfect spot for winter evenings, whether you're curling up with a good book or sharing quiet time with family. The warmth and character of this space make it a favourite retreat within the home.

Kitchen Living

The kitchen’s open-plan seating area offers breathtaking views across the stunning rear garden. This sociable and light filled space features a working open fire, adding a traditional and inviting focal point. It's ideal for informal gatherings, morning coffee, or simply soaking up the beauty of the outdoor surroundings in complete comfort.

The kitchen is a warm and practical space with a central island, generous workspace and beautiful views over the rear garden. This is a room made for family life, laughter and long Sunday lunches. Just off the kitchen is the original walk-in pantry, a rare and treasured space that adds both charm and storage.

There is also a large utility room, with space for laundry and day today essentials, located just off the main kitchen.

Cellar and Courtyard
Beneath the house is a generous cellar, offering storage space or perhaps even the potential for a wine room.

From the kitchen, step out into the sun-drenched central courtyard. Sheltered and private, this area is ideal for outdoor dining or your morning coffee. It’s also where you’ll spot a unique historic feature—the original bell, once used to call workers in for tea. It remains proudly in place at the top of the house, a lovely reminder of the home’s rich past.

First Floor Bedrooms and Bathrooms
The first floor features five bedrooms in total, each full of character with original fireplaces and sash windows.

Four are large double bedrooms, ideal for growing families or visiting guests. The fifth bedroom, which also features a fireplace, would make a lovely nursery, home office or dressing room.

There is a spacious family bathroom with excellent storage, a separate WC, and a cleverly hidden en-suite, tucked behind wardrobe doors, offering a sense of luxury and surprise.

The landing is spacious and full of character, connecting the main and servant staircases in this charmingly traditional home. While it doesn’t overlook the garden, it retains a sense of warmth and elegance that reflects the home’s historic appeal.

Top Floor Retreat
The second floor provides two additional bedrooms. One currently houses a full-sized snooker table and has served as a much-loved games room. The other would make a great teenager’s retreat or creative space. There is also a family bathroom on this level for added convenience.

The Two-Bedroom Cottage
Accessed via the courtyard, the two-bedroom both with en-suite cottage  is a self-contained haven, perfect for extended family, guests or perhaps a rental opportunity. It features stained glass windows, a private garden, and even its own garage access. Independent but connected, it adds incredible flexibility to the estate.

The 100-Foot Red Brick Barn
Standing proudly within the grounds is an impressive 100-foot red brick barn. Complete with a mezzanine level, three full-height original barn doors, and two up-and-over doors, this space is bursting with opportunity. It could be used for storage, business, events or even developed into further accommodation, subject to planning permission. Think wedding venue, workshop, Airbnb or the ultimate party barn.

Stunning Grounds and a True Village Setting
The house sits within approximately 1.8 acres of glorious gardens, filled with mature trees, carefully maintained lawns, and colourful borders. It is a peaceful, private world where children can play freely and garden parties unfold in style.

The village of Shenstone is steeped in history, dating back to the Domesday Book. Today, it offers an unbeatable mix of countryside charm and modern convenience. There are excellent schools nearby, local pubs full of character, a real sense of community, and fantastic railway links connecting you to Birmingham and Lichfield with ease.

This is not just a home. It is a lifestyle. A story. A legacy.

If you are looking for a place filled with warmth, heritage and endless potential, this could be your forever home.
