Church Hill, Belbroughton

A charming two-bedroom detached period cottage, ideally located in the heart of Belbroughton, yet enjoying a private and secluded setting on Church Hill.

Situated within the conservation area and close to Holy Trinity Church, which dates back to the 13th century, the property is perfectly placed to enjoy village life. Belbroughton offers a selection of pubs, eateries, schools, and recreational facilities including tennis and cricket clubs, while also providing convenient access to the West Midlands conurbation and the motorway network via Junction 4 of the M5. The surrounding countryside offers a variety of scenic walks.

The property is understood to have originally been a farm worker’s cottage, later extended prior to the current owners’ purchase in 1986. In more recent years, the kitchen and bathroom have been updated, and the accommodation now comprises two generous double bedrooms, a first-floor bathroom, and on the ground floor a lounge/diner, kitchen, and guest cloakroom. There remains scope for further personalisation and redecoration. The property also benefits from double glazing and gas fire central heating.

The property is approached from Church Hill via a short set of steps and a pathway leading to the front entrance. A composite front door opens into a central reception hall with a front-facing window and staircase rising to the first floor. The guest cloakroom is fitted with a low-level WC and vanity wash basin.

The lounge/diner, which was formerly two separate rooms, extends across the front of the house and benefits from a dual aspect with four windows. It provides clearly defined living and dining areas, centred around an oak fireplace with decorative tiling and a gas coal-effect fire.

The kitchen has been modernised with contemporary flush-finish units, woodblock work surfaces, and integrated appliances including an oven, hob, fridge, and freezer, with additional space for a microwave. There is a concealed Worcester boiler, and the window over the sink overlooks a small, landscaped garden area.

On the first floor, the landing benefits from a side window providing natural light. Bedroom one is a through room with views over the garden and distant views beyond. There are also fitted wardrobes. Bedroom two is also a double room with a built-in cupboard. The refitted bathroom is well presented, featuring a freestanding bath with chrome feet and mixer shower attachment, a separate shower, vanity wash basin, low-level WC, chrome heated towel rail, and tiled walls.

A particular feature of the property is the attractive garden, mainly laid to lawn and planted with a variety of established trees and shrubs, including a Cox’s Orange Pippin apple tree, plum and pear trees, Acer Griseum, and Silver birch. There are two useful storage sheds, a side gravel pathway, and additional small garden area overlooked by the kitchen. The garden also benefits from an external tap and power socket.
