Description

Private. Peaceful. A cottage worth finding!

Waseley Hill Cottage sits tucked at the end of a private lane, hidden behind 1.5 acres of immaculate grounds complete with its own working well and a self-contained annexe. This is the kind of place people spend years looking for. Shall we show you around?

The lane itself sets the tone. As the world falls away behind you, a gated entrance opens onto a generous gravelled driveway with easy parking for multiple cars. To your left, the annexe sits quietly and independently, a beautifully considered space with its own fitted kitchen, lounge warmed by a log burner, a bathroom and a generous first-floor bedroom with built-in storage. Whether you have family who visit regularly, a business you run from home, or guests you want close but not too close, the annexe handles all of it without a second thought.

Follow the driveway to its end and the cottage itself comes into view, and it does not disappoint. Step inside and you immediately feel the balance that has been so carefully achieved here: exposed timber beams and original period character alongside a genuinely modern, tasteful interior that feels both warm and effortlessly liveable. The open plan lounge and dining room runs triple aspect, flooding the space with natural light, and the feature dual-aspect log burner connects the lounge directly through to the impressive double-height reception hall beyond, a genuinely striking detail that gives the ground floor a real sense of theatre.

The kitchen has been recently and beautifully renovated. Shaker-style units, a herringbone-pattern floor and a full suite of high-specification Neff appliances, including a coffee machine, dual ovens and a five-ring induction hob, make it a space you will want to cook in every single day. A useful store cupboard and separate utility area sit discreetly alongside, keeping the day-to-day practicalities out of sight.

Head upstairs and the gallery landing opens up with picture windows framing the grounds below, a moment that genuinely stops you in your tracks. The main bedroom leads out through bi-fold doors onto your own private balcony looking out over the stone-paved terrace, sweeping lawns and mature trees. It is the kind of spot where a morning coffee becomes a non-negotiable part of the day. Bedrooms two and three each have their own en-suites, bedroom four is well-proportioned and a contemporary family bathroom completes the first floor.

Outside, the grounds are something else entirely. Sweeping lawns, stone-paved seating areas, beautifully stocked planted beds, a large timber summerhouse and workshop, a polytunnel, raised vegetable planters and a working private well. This is a plot that rewards anyone who loves being outdoors and has always fancied being a little more self-sufficient.

The location sits at a genuinely enviable crossroads. Waseley Hills Country Park is practically on your doorstep, with Lickey Hills not far behind, offering hundreds of acres of walking, cycling and open countryside whenever you want them. For everything else, Longbridge's regenerated town centre brings a major Marks and Spencer, Sainsbury's and a strong range of retail and dining within easy reach. The train station at Longbridge gives you a direct line into Birmingham city centre, and access to the M5 and M42 means the wider motorway network is straightforward from here. You have countryside at your door and connectivity when you need it, a combination that is harder to find than most people realise.
