Birch Cottage, a historically rich stone-built property, is believed to have served as the cattle counting house for Hagley Hall in the 1700s. This residence stands as one of the village's oldest structures, offering a unique blend of period charm and modern enhancement opportunities. The ground floor features an inviting porch leading into a hall that exudes character. A snug lounge and separate sitting/dining room provide cozy spaces, complemented by a practical kitchen with an adjoining breakfast area, utility room, and WC. At the rear, a spacious sunroom brings in abundant natural light and offers charming views over the gardens.
The property includes a cellar that presents potential for conversion—an exciting opportunity for prospective buyers willing to explore this avenue further. Upstairs hosts three comfortable bedrooms alongside a family bathroom, with the added benefit of a versatile loft room.
Surrounding Birch Cottage are quaint wrap-around gardens that enhance its historic appeal. A driveway and double garage facilitate ample parking space.
Although steeped in history, Birch Cottage holds significant renovation potential. Previous planning permission was granted for an ambitious two-storey extension aimed at creating an open-plan kitchen/living space on the ground floor while adding a master bedroom with en-suite facilities above. Interested buyers are encouraged to consult Bromsgrove District Council regarding possible renewal of this lapsed permission.
Located just off Hall Lane in one of Hagley’s most desirable areas, this cottage balances serene village life with convenient accessibility to local amenities including shops and schools like Hagley Roman Catholic High School. With Hagley railway station nearby providing regular services to Stourbridge and Birmingham, commuting is hassle-free.
Embrace the opportunity to invest in Birch Cottage—a distinctive piece of Hagley's heritage ready for modernization and expansion.
