LOCATION
The Green House stands in a beautiful setting in a conservation area with charming views across the Lower Green. The property benefits from considerable privacy by virtue of many matured and screening trees and yet is within easy reach of the varied local facilities available within Tettenhall Village, the Newbridge shopping parade and the Compton shopping village. There is easy access to Wolverhampton City Centre and the area is particularly well served by schooling in both sectors.
Lower Green is a delightful, backwater setting comprising the picturesque open spaces of the Green itself with some lovely period properties and the historic St Michael and All Angels Church.
DESCRIPTION
The Green House comprises a substantial, three-storey period residence which is Grade II Listed for its architectural merit. The house has a beautifully balanced three bay façade which is typical of the period and is believed to have been built in approximately 1794. There are very few Georgian houses of this calibre remaining within Tettenhall and The Green House is unquestionably one of the finest examples.
The accommodation is of some depth and character with many period features remaining which are now allied with some excellent modern appointments throughout.
The current owners have carried out many works of improvement during their tenure. New drains were laid, the house was rewired and the upper storey was reconfigured. The most notable improvement has been the creation of an outstanding Living Kitchen by well known specialist, Bernard Savage Interiors.
The setting is one of the finest attributes of the property with a walled and private frontage, a gated drive and a garage together with a superb, landscaped and walled rear garden.
ACCOMMODATION
