Seven-bedroom former Poundland family mansion still on the market for £5m
A remarkable country estate with a high-profile past is still on the market, offering a rare chance to buy one of the region’s most distinctive homes.
The iconic country residence designed by renowned architect Sir Bertram Clough Williams-Ellis, creator of Portmeirion, boasts more than 14,690 square feet of versatile accommodation that blends period character with modern luxury, and was once owned by Poundland founder Steve Smith.
Known as 'Hammer Hill House,' the seven-bedroom mansion near Romsley in Worcestershire, is currently listed for around £5 million — and remains available for prospective buyers.
This expansive property includes reception rooms with original panelling, a bespoke kitchen, extensive leisure facilities and panoramic views across the Severn Valley.
Features such as a helicopter landing pad, indoor swimming pool with hot tub and two three-bedroom gate lodges add to the attraction for buyers looking for a lifestyle property as well as a private family home or entertaining base.
The former owners are best known for founding the Poundland discount retail chain. Steve Smith and his family previously lived at Hammer Hill House — and Smith has recently been appearing on television series such as Rich House Poor House, reigniting interest in his life and properties. However, it’s the quality and uniqueness of the home itself that continues to draw attention as it sits on the market.
Estate agents marketing the property say it represents an exceptional opportunity for the right buyer to secure an iconic estate with character, history and space in a sought-after rural location.
