The Blue House, Albrighton, Wolverhampton, WV7

An especially attractive, detached country residence with gothic influenced architecture,
an adjoining annex and a range of outbuildings, all standing within grounds of almost 2 acres in total.
The property requires a comprehensive scheme of refurbishment affording buyers the opportunity to make the house “their own”.

Location - The Blue House stands alongside the A41 on the fringes of both Albrighton and Cosford and therefore benefits from the extensive amenities afforded by both.

Communications are excellent with the M54 (J3) being within a few minutes drive and both Cosford and Albrighton stations provide direct rail services to Birmingham, Shrewsbury and beyond.

Description - The Blue House is a substantial, period residence with architectural interest of much note with gothic influence and beautifully proportioned and spacious living accommodation over both ground and first floors.

There is the benefit of a more recent annex which provides accommodation over both ground and first floors, with the shared use of the first floor house bathroom, and an adjoining courtyard with a range of outbuildings which could be utilised for a variety of different purposes.

The entire property now requires a comprehensive scheme of refurbishment enabling buyers to finish the property to their own tastes and preferences.
