Houle Estate United Kingdom

Houle Estate is a magnificent, Grade II listed Georgian country manor, making an idyllic setting for special celebrations and weddings, with a quintessential English charm.
First built in 1778, Houle Estate maintains its traditional aesthetic from the marble pillared fireplace to the stained glass windows, the flagstone flooring to the mahogany bannisters. Outside the quaint beauty continues, with wisteria climbing the redbrick exterior, leafy gardens and big lawns stretching out from the house across the private parkland, all completely secluded by the mature woodland.
Several of the bedrooms have been furnished with as many beds as possible to allow for large groups to all stay in the same home, offering an impressive capacity of 61! Yet, the master bedroom remains for just two, with a large four poster bed, sofas, and a beautiful wardrobe with full length mirror. 
Houle Estate is an authentic English mansion, offering an unusual chance to allow an entire party to stay together and make an unforgettable holiday of that special event. Houle Estate is situated at the end of its long private drive, in a secluded position at the centre of its land and hidden behind its woodland. Houle Estate is conveniently placed in North Worcestershire to the west of Blakedown, Belbroughton and Chaddesley Corbett.The nearby villages of Blakedown and Hagley have good facilities including a wide variety of shops, pubs and a railway station. From here regular trains into Birmingham can be taken to London Euston or Marylebone.The Clent Hills and Kinver Edge are close by and offer great scope for walking and riding, with much of the area under the control of The National Trust.
In addition to the picturesque surroundings, the popularity of the area owes much to the convenient location with easy access to regional centres including central Birmingham, 15 miles distant, Stourbridge, just over three miles away and the Cathedral City of Worcester within 18 miles. The property is very well placed for the motorway network with Junctions three and four of the M5 being 10 miles distant.
