“A House with History” 28 College Road, an Edwardian styled five bedroom house, was built in 1904 using solid Victorian construction methods and one of the early examples of using steel beams in the large roof structure. It was purchased by an Austrian teacher just after the second World War to establish a private day school for children. It became known as Ottillie HILD School and is still remembered today. The purchaser also acquired the house next door and over the years it became successful and well known. It was sold to the renowned Bromsgrove School in 1986 and run as a private preparatory school for children from 3 to 8 years until 2000 when they moved to larger premises at Avoncroft just outside the town.

The property was purchased by the vendors in that same year who set about a total renovation installing a high level of wall, floor and roof insulation, heating, plumbing and electrics throughout. It was fitted with solar and thermal hot water panels to provide electricity and hot water. The PV Solar contract tariff (FIT), guarantees payment until 2036 providing free electricity and an annual payment of some £1,600 (increasing with RPI).

The owners kept much of the Edwardian features to be seen in the lounge and dining room, but the kitchen and garage extension of 2010 provide a totally modern approach to todays living. Multi-fuel log burners in the kitchen area and lounge provide a high level of additional heating for cosy winter evenings. The main bedroom with modern ensuite facilities has a level of design and quality of fittings that provide comfort and luxury, along with ample built-in wardrobe and cupboard storage. The generous cellar provides for wine storage and other uses.

The outside terraces provide areas for sitting amongst the numerous shrubs and grand fir trees, planted in 1904. The remainder of the garden, being set out to lawn and a well stocked vegetable area. Period style out-buildings provide garden storage and workshop facilities. There are parking spaces for cars on the gravel driveway in addition to the garage, which is fitted with an electric door.
