Battlefield House, 14 Battlefield Hill, Wombourne, Wolverhampton

Full Property Description:

Location

Battlefield House occupies a charming position within Battlefield Hill on the fringes of the popular South Staffordshire village of Wombourne which provides a comprehensive range of local, everyday shopping and leisure facilities.

There is convenient travelling to many large business centres with Wolverhampton City Centre, Dudley, Stourbridge and Birmingham all being within convenient reach. The M5 and M6 Motorways facilitate travel to the entire industrial West Midlands and beyond and national rail services run from Wolverhampton Station (London Euston approximately 100 minutes).

The house stands in lovely, secluded grounds and is an ideal family residence with the area being well served by schooling in both sectors with the Wolverhampton Grammar School, Wolverhampton Girls High School, Tettenhall College and the Royal Wolverhampton School all being worthy of note.

Description

Battlefield House is a uniquely appointed, elegant property, circa 1897, with an architecturally distinctive, part timbered and gabled façade with an attractive corner turret detail. The detached family home with many period features hasn’t been brought to market for nearly 60 years. It stands in its own grounds with ample parking and a breathtaking mature garden with a detached coach house. Although now lapsed, planning permission was granted many years ago for two detached dwellings with separate access onto Battlefield Lane. The house may benefit from some updating but the internal accommodation briefly comprises drawing room, dining room, kitchen and separate utility, cloakroom/wc, gardener’s toilet and boiler room to the ground floor. To the first floor there are four impressive bedrooms, an en-suite shower room and a family bathroom.
