2 bed flat for sale

Cameo Drive, Stourbridge, West Midlands DY8

This is what happens when a 250-year-old Georgian mansion becomes an apartment, and doesn't apologise for it!

The current owners will tell you they never saw themselves buying an apartment. Then they walked into Dennis Hall. Double-height ceilings, original decorative cornicing, ceiling roses and full-height sash windows have a way of making those preconceptions disappear pretty quickly. What greets you here isn't apartment living as you know it. It's something with considerably more presence.

The building itself earns its reputation, and English Heritage agrees. Grade II listed and constructed circa 1770, Dennis Hall was originally the residence of the Thomas Hills family, Glass and Iron Masters, and later the works of Thomas Webb, whose name became shorthand for the finest Victorian cut glass in the world. The blue commemorative plaque at the gates hints at it. The architecture confirms it.

Sympathetically converted in 2004, the character has been carefully preserved rather than designed around.

Inside, a cascading staircase, pillars and chandelier greet you in the communal entrance before you've even reached your own front door. The ground floor apartment offers two generous double bedrooms, the principal with its own ensuite shower room, a family bathroom with shower over bath, a well-appointed kitchen with integrated appliances, and a living room that frankly you need to stand in to understand.

Outside, a secure automated gated car park provides two allocated spaces with intercom access, and the shared landscaped grounds give the whole setting a quiet, considered feel.

When it comes to day-to-day life, you're well placed. Local pubs including the Robin Hood and the Red Lion on Brettell Lane are both well-regarded locals within easy reach, bus routes run directly from Amblecote, Stourbridge town centre is around a mile and a half away with supermarkets, independent shops and a train station connecting to Birmingham and Worcester, and Merry Hill, one of the largest shopping centres in the West Midlands with over 200 stores, is just a couple of miles up the road.

There are apartments. And then there's Dennis Hall.
