We also loved the handsome red brick exterior, large windows and the generous proportions of the rooms, and could see that the house would be ideal for everyday family life and entertaining alike.” “An old red brick barn, the house is full of character and unique features, whilst being perfectly designed and adapted to comfortable contemporary living,” the owners continue. “On entering the home, you are welcomed by a wrought iron spiral staircase and stunning chequered stone floor, setting the tone for the stylish yet homely atmosphere of the rest of the house. Each room has its own special feeling, from the wood panelled bathroom with freestanding tub, to the cosy sitting

  • Walk K – Finstall and Stoke Prior (6¾ Miles)
    Walk K – Finstall and Stoke Prior (6¾ miles) Although the walk starts at Bromsgrove Station it quickly runs into the lovely countryside of Finstall and Stoke Prior parishes. The Queens Head Pub further along the circuit is a good alternative place to start if you wish to avoid the station. The walk can also link up with Walk E to make a longer 12 mile circuit. Boots are advisable except in driest weather. Parking is available at the start of the walk in the station car park (pay and display). The Queens Head pub may allow walkers to park but please check. Roadside parking is also possible in Woodgate Road at the southern end of the circuit. There are six Geocaches on this walk. The walk should take around 2½-3 hours. 1. Bromsgrove Station – Turn right by the Ladybird Inn and Lodge into Finstall Road and right again into St Godwalds Road by the Fish and Chip shop. Cross the railway at the start of the Lickey Incline – at 1 in 37 the steepest on the mainline in Britain. For many years trains were banked from Bromsgrove by engines such as “Big Bertha”. The housing estate on the right occupies the site of the Wagon Works – once one of Bromsgrove’s largest employers. Rutherford and Scaife were two engineers killed in a boiler explosion. (Their monuments are in Bromsgrove churchyard) Captain Moorsome was the Chief Engineer and advocate of locomotive rather than rope haulage up the bank. McConnel was the Locomotive Superintendent from 1841. Clayton was associated with the Institute which was sited close to the bridge.
