Historic West Midlands country house designed by creator of Portmeirion and once owned by Poundland founder on the market for £5million
A county home near Bridgnorth and designed by the architect who created Portmeirion – made famous by TV show The Prisoner – has gone on the market for £5 million.
Hammer Hill House - a 13-bedroom home at Romsley, a small hamlet near Bridgnorth, was also once owned by Poundland founder, Willenhall-born Steve Smith.
The lavish 13-bedroom property was also designed by renowned architect Sir Bertram Clough Williams-Ellis, creator of Portmeirion that went to provide the backdrop to 60s TV show The Prisoner starring Patrick McGoohan.
The house was built in 1923, and is perhaps the most lavish property in the county.
The property, which is being marketed by estate agents Chartwell Noble, has breathtaking views across the Severn Valley, The Clee Hills and towards Wales.
“Hammer Hill House is more than just a home; it is a statement of timeless design, lifestyle, and heritage. Set high above the Severn Valley on the Worcestershire and Shropshire borders, this exceptional country estate combines architectural pedigree with contemporary luxury, offering both privacy and convenience in equal measure,” Chartwell Noble say.
“Approached via an impressive avenue behind wrought iron gates, flanked by two charming three-bedroom gate lodges, the estate unfolds gradually, culminating in the grand façade of Hammer Hill House.”
The property boasts more than 14,690 sq ft of accommodation and features walnut panelling to the dining room, a drawing room, complete with sprung and lit dance floor.
The home also boasts a leisure wing with indoor swimming pool, hot tub, and courtyard.
Additional highlights include a billiard/games room, private bar, music room, extensive office space and garaging.
Outside, there are 28 acres of gardens and grounds, with formal lawns, wilder landscapes, woodland walks and four paddocks, making the property ideal for equestrian pursuits or those seeking a lifestyle connected with the land.
