The property itself is located within the catchment area of Lickey Primary School, within 2 miles of Barnt Green village, 3 miles to the market town of Bromsgrove (with both providing a train station) and offers excellent travel links to Birmingham, Worcester and beyond with easy access to the M5 (Junction 4) and M42 (Junction 1).
Herbert Austin founded the Austin Motor Company at Longbridge in 1905 and moved his family to Lickey Grange in 1910. The Austin 7 was designed at Lickey Grange between 1921 and 1922 in the billiards room! Lickey Grange has since been converted into luxury apartments, and the remainder of the stunning estate was developed in more recent times.
