Parish Hill, Bournheath, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, B61

A quarter of an acre, open fields, and a village people wait years to get into. Rose Cottage just needs someone to see what's possible.

A home with a story

This is a cottage that has belonged to the same family for forty years, and that kind of longevity tells you something. Homes don't get held onto for four decades by accident. There's a rhythm to a place like this: mornings with the fire lit, evenings by the log burner under those old timber beams, a garden that's clearly been part of everyday life rather than just an afterthought.

You can see it in the bones of the place. There's a patio, steps up to a level lawn, and mature fruit trees that clearly go back years. It's a garden with a good amount of space to work with, set behind a picket fence and lawned frontage at the front, and opening out past hedgerow boundaries at the rear.

Now it's ready for someone new to pick up where that story left off, and make it theirs.

Our agents say...

Honestly, it's the setting that sells this one. Pull up to a country five-bar gate, park on the driveway in front (there's room for several cars), and you're already set back from the road behind that picket fence and lawned frontage. It feels tucked away the moment you arrive.

The rear garden has a patio, steps up to a level lawn, mature fruit trees, and a detached garage, with hedgerow boundaries along the edges. We were there photographing on a quiet morning with buzzards overhead and sightings of horses on the country roads, which tells you plenty about the setting.

Inside, there's plenty to work with: two reception rooms give you real flexibility, one a cosy spot with a log burner and exposed timber beams overhead, the other with its own open fire. The kitchen/breakfast room comes with its own pantry, and there's a separate utility and ground floor shower room as well. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms with fitted storage and a family bathroom round things off nicely. Mains gas central heating is already in place too, which is a real bonus for a semi-rural property like this.

And then there's the location. Bournheath and Fairfield are two of the villages we hear requested again and again by buyers looking around Bromsgrove, and it's easy to see why. Rabbits running through the fields, horses out on the lane, that quiet village feel the moment you arrive, it's a real slice of countryside. You've got well-regarded local schooling nearby, some genuinely excellent country pubs (The Gate at Bournheath is a personal favourite), and a real sense of peace to the whole area. But you're not cut off: the M5 (junction 4) and M42 (junction 1) are both close by, Birmingham city centre is around 16 miles away, and Aston Fields has a train station for those wanting rail links into Bromsgrove and beyond. Bromsgrove town itself brings a new leisure centre, David Lloyd gym, golf course, supermarkets, doctors, dentists, and schooling right up to the well-regarded Bromsgrove School.

It's a rare combination: countryside living, without sacrificing the practical stuff. If you've been waiting for a project in a setting like this, we'd love to show you round.
