The Woodlands, Low Habberley, Kidderminster, Worcestershire, DY11 5RF
“One of Worcestershire finest country houses, lovingly restored to its former glory, with far reaching views.”
With exquisitely renovated reception rooms, perfect for entertaining and 6 bedrooms, 2 of which are ensuite, The Woodlands is a complete Victorian country house, providing an opportunity to own an important & handsome piece of local history.
The House
The Woodlands is, without question, one of Worcestershire’s finest country homes. Securing an entry in the prestigious “Buildings of England” by Nikolaus Pevsner, this handsome and imposing residence was originally built around 1880 for the entrepreneur and industrialist Edward Hughes who is said to have positioned the property such so that he could see the smoke rising from the chimneys of his carpet factories in the nearby town of Kidderminster.
Being built during the mid-Victorian period the property still displays many fine original features including rooftop finials, splayed bay windows and exquisite external joinery. Each and all have been restored to their original condition, with no expense spared.
During the second world war the property was requisitioned by the Army in order to billet troops that manned the search light station at nearby Trimpley. After the war, the property was returned to private ownership and the property slowly declined until our clients purchased the property and used their vision to undertake an extensive campaign of renovation and restoration to create the magnificent home that it is today.
The property is approached through impressive pillars with electric wrought iron gates, opening into the private grounds of the house. A tree-lined drive sweeps around lawned gardens of around 3.91 acres and arrives at the main entrance and the garaging at the side of the house. There are a further 4.28 acres of paddocks which benefit from various outbuildings including stables and a small barn.
Inside, the property is of an exceptional standard with exquisite attention to detail. Characteristics such as stained-glass windows, fireplaces, cornicing, and ceiling roses have all been restored and further complemented by sympathetic renovation. Each room has an air of decadence and it is clear that no expense has been spared to return The Woodlands to the splendour with which it was originally built.
In total the interior extends to around 8,792ft2 and is divided over three floors; of particular note is the “minstrel’s gallery” on the first-floor landing with a colonnade providing an impressive focal point and framing the wonderful views of the grounds to the front of the house.
Outside
Adjacent to the property is a log cabin with a decked terrace providing splendid views over the Habberley Valley. This useful space is a fabulous complement to the main house and is currently used as a gymnasium, sauna and leisure suite.
A breakfast terrace to the rear of the property has direct access from the kitchen, this then extends to provide paved terracing encircling the house. To the front of the property terraced lawns, bordered by a variety of specimens of mature trees, stretch down towards a horticultural outbuilding, stables and paddocks.
In total, there are 3.89 acres of mainly lawned gardens beyond which are gently undulating paddocks of around 4.3 acres which are contained by post and rail fencing and have the additional benefit of open fronted stables and a tack and feed store. Water is supplied to all paddocks.
We are informed by our clients that they enjoy the benefits of riding out from the property via the bridle path on the east side of the main road opposite the roadside access to the field.
In all the gardens and grounds total 8.19 acres.
Services
We are advised that the property benefits from mains services for electricity, water, and broadband. There is private drainage by way of a septic tank.
Situation
The Woodland stands in mature gardens and grounds of over 8 acres in an elevated location with far reaching views across North Worcestershire. The house is located in the quiet hamlet of Low Habberley on the outskirts of the bustling town of Kidderminster with its excellent shopping and wide range of facilities, whilst the highly popular riverside Georgian market town of Bewdley is a short drive away. The larger cities of Worcester, Wolverhampton and Birmingham are an easy commute.
The M5 and M42 are easily accessible providing access to national and international transportation hubs; mainline train stations are located at Kidderminster (3.0m), Droitwich (13.2m), Worcester’s Shrub Hill (17.4m) and Foregate Street (16.7m) stations and international flights are accessible at Birmingham International Airport (33.5m).
Agents note
The double garage currently serves as a golfing centre/cinema/gaming room for our clients which can easily be returned to use as a garage by removing the partitioned walls.
The paddocks are held under a separate title having been purchased by our clients separately. The previous owners have placed an uplift clause on the title for the paddocks of 25% in the event that planning permission is obtained. Further details can be provided upon request.
