The Woodlands
Low Habberley, Kidderminster, Worcestershire
With exquisitely renovated reception rooms, perfect for entertaining and
6 bedrooms, 2 of which are en-suite, The Woodlands is a complete Victorian
country house, providing an opportunity to own an important & handsome
piece of local history.
The Woodlands is, without question, one of Worcestershire’s
finest country homes.
Securing an entry in the prestigious “Buildings of England” by Nikolaus Pevsner, this handsome and imposing residence was originally built around 1880 for the entrepreneur and industrialist Edward Hughes who is said to have positioned the property such so that he could see the smoke rising from the chimneys of his carpet factories in the nearby town of Kidderminster.
Being built during the mid-Victorian period the property still displays many fine original features including rooftop finials, splayed bay windows and exquisite external joinery. Each and all have been restored to their original condition, with no expense spared.
During the second world war the property was requisitioned by the Army in
order to billet troops that manned the search light station at nearby Trimpley.
After the war, the property was returned to private ownership and the property slowly declined until our clients purchased the property and used their vision to undertake an extensive campaign of renovation and restoration to create the magnificent home that it is today.
