Homes in Bromsgrove
Bromsgrove is a market town south of Birmingham, historically known for nail making. Its older housing includes Victorian terraces in Sidemoor and Aston Fields, and some timber-framed buildings survive on the High Street. Barnt Green and Blackwell nearby have large Edwardian and inter-war homes, among the most expensive in Worcestershire. Catshill has older cottages and post-war estates.
Inter-war and post-war estates fill much of the town, and newer developments have been added on its edges. The Lickey Hills lie to the north. Bromsgrove is popular with commuters to Birmingham, with a railway station on the Cross City line. Many homes have been extended, and clay soils with mature trees can cause movement. Aston Fields has a mix of Victorian terraces and newer homes close to the station. Expect a premium on larger homes near the Lickey Hills.
