Brookhouse Farm, a farmhouse in need of renovation near Alvechurch, has been put up for sale with an asking price of £900,000.

The house has been in the same family since 1922, and this is the first time in more than 100 years that it could change hands.

Listed on Plotfinder, the property combines a five-bedroom house, varied landholdings, and outbuildings, offering scope for new owners to shape its next chapter.

The farmhouse and its history

The main house extends across three floors and includes five bedrooms, a family bathroom, and several reception rooms.

Original details such as fireplaces, high ceilings, window shutters, and a traditional cellar provide insight into its past.

More recent work has ensured structural security, with a renovated roof, remedial plastering, and a newly painted exterior using masonry paint guaranteed to last for 15 years.

A notable feature is the private water supply. The farmhouse sits above a historic well that draws directly from the brook running through the grounds. A modern filtration system supports the well’s use, though a mains connection is also available on the adjoining lane.

The site extends to around 5 acres, divided into different types of land.

Half an acre forms the gardens around the house, while 1.5 acres are laid out as paddocks. A further 3.1 acres of marshland, with mature trees and natural features are included.

Views across the landscape can be taken in from the second-floor roof terrace and sun deck.

Outbuildings and scope

Two separate structures stand within the grounds. A detached workshop measuring around 63 square metres.

Another outbuilding, requiring refurbishment, could be adapted into an annex or cottage, subject to consents.

These additional buildings broaden the scope of how the site might be organised, whether for extended family use, workspace, or other functions.

How to buy

Brookhouse Farm is on the market with an asking price of £900,000.

Further details, including how to register interest and bid for the property, are available on Plotfinder, a resource for those seeking land and refurbishment opportunities.
