DIRECTIONS
Beauchamp House is best approached via the A449 which
runs from Kidderminster to Wolverhampton. From Stourton
(about 2 miles west of Stourbridge) head northwards on the
A449 and after approximately 0.4 of a mile the gated entrance
to the house will be found on the left hand side.
SITUATION
The residence enjoys a private location close to Kinver
enjoying access to Stourbridge and the centre of Birmingham
which offers a cosmopolitan range of shopping, leisure and
educational facilities, including the Symphony Hall and
National Indoor Arena. The M5 motorway is also within easy
reach providing connections to the M6 and M42 motorway
networks.
DESCRIPTION
Electrically operated wrought iron gates between brick pillars
open onto the drive which services a substantial hard standing
area and a gravelled courtyard at the front of the main house,
both providing ample parking when entertaining, before
extending down to the office suite and lake.
Beauchamp House is a thoughtfully and skilfully improved
distinctive detached residence standing well back from the
road and enjoying rear views over its wonderful private
gardens and grounds.
An entrance vestibule leads via a glazed front door into the
spacious reception hall, with cloakroom, which acts as a hub
for the ground floor accommodation and features an archway
through to a small study area where an oak panelled return
staircase is situated.
The triple aspect drawing room has an impressive brick
inglenook, with heavy beam over, which is currently home
to a large thermostatically controlled gas fire which could
easily be converted back to log burning. Imaginative sliding
doors provide access to the snug/TV room, again with brick
feature fireplace, allowing the two rooms to be used as one
for entertaining. A further door opens to the dual aspect oak
panelled library with air conditioning, twin French doors
to the rear garden and gymnasium benefiting from a large
picture window overlooking the magnificent lake.
Oak panelling to the dining room offers more formality
with a useful arched recess and further French doors onto
the rear paved terrace. The majority of the ground floor
accommodation displays feature beams to the ceiling.
A comprehensive range of contemporary style wall and
floor units with granite work surface over reside in the well
proportioned breakfast kitchen where Integral appliances
include a Neff double oven and six gas ring hob plus an AEG
stainless steel extractor over. Spotlights feature to the ceiling
and there is space for two fridge freezers.
The kitchen has air conditioning and under floor heating.
The Ceramic tiled flooring extends through to a cloakroom
and large utility which is currently home to two dishwashers,
a washing machine and tumble dryer. A well lit landing
provides access to the first floor bedroom accommodation
which includes a dual aspect master with large en suite
bathroom, having a massaging power shower and part
mirrored wardrobes, and four further bedrooms, three of
which have ensuite facilities.
Beauchamp House is an immensely versatile family home
offering excellent storage throughout including a boarded loft
accessed via a pull down ladder.
EXTERIOR
Opposite the house the separate garage
block is particularly impressive having
three electrically operated sliding doors
offering parking for up to 8 cars with a
workshop and WC/shower room off.
There is potential to convert part to ‘granny
accommodation’ (STPP).
The gardens and grounds are home to a
profusion of mature shrubs and trees to
include rhododendrons, silver birch, willow
and oak producing a lovely woodland setting.
The hard surface tennis court is fully fenced
and overlooks an attractive rose garden and
the lake beyond whilst a raised lawned area
with terrace to the rear of the house provides
access to the swimming pool area, woodland
walk and steps lead down to the superb office
and private lake containing an abundance of
carp and other fish. The gardens are classed
as a historic landscape area with the lake
being of great historical interest as it was
originally constructed as part of Yarrantons
Cut in 1668 to provide a link from the River
Stour navigation to Stourbridge, however
this was never completed. Bordered by a
further oak woodland walk with bluebells and
rhododendrons, the lake could be suitable as
a marina (STPP). A small timber footbridge
crosses the entrance to the lake from the
Staffordshire and Worcester canal, accessing
steps to the remainder of the wooded areas
and silver birch lined path back to the
swimming pool. The gardens and grounds
at Beauchamp House enjoy privacy from
neighbouring properties and offer immense
interest and wildlife including kingfishers,
herons and swans.
