Positioned beautifully and not overlooked, it sits well back and elevated from Larches Road, welcoming visitors with a long driveway that opens up to a generous parking area, providing ample space for multiple vehicles. There is excellent potential to expand the parking facilities further, should the need arise, with ample space available to the front and side of the property.

Upon entering the house, one is welcomed with an abundance of carefully arranged accommodation offering considerable flexibility, affording a future owner the opportunity to customise it according to their needs. The property is presently arranged featuring eight bedrooms across two floors, complemented by seven bathrooms/en-suites, a well-equipped kitchen, utility room, and three reception rooms. Many of these rooms offer delightful views of the garden and woodlands surrounding the property, plus a backdrop of the charming Brinton Park.

The entire property is in excellent condition inside and out, well maintained and in good decorative order. Throughout the buildings, attention to detail is evident, including the installation of double glazed windows and doors (with FENSA certificate) in 2022, enhancing both comfort and energy efficiency. The entire roof covering has been replaced, including new breathable felt, battens & slates in 2024, including a 10-year written guarantee. The modern condensing boiler has benefited from an annual manufacturer’s parts and labour maintenance contract from new and is ongoing.


Detached office building
The generous square footage of the main house is complemented by a modern detached office building situated close to the property. It is equipped with double-glazed windows and benefits from central heating supplied from the main residence. The building consists of three offices together with a WC and two additional storage/filing rooms, enhancing the versatility and practicality of the premises.


Property potential uses

Situated on a captivating plot, it enjoys a picturesque, elevated position overlooking Brinton Park and the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal. This is a rare chance to acquire prime commercial real estate set in an upmarket residential area within a mile of Kidderminster town centre.

This property, with its spacious layout and serene surroundings, holds the potential to be transformed into an amazing family home.
