Rosedene

Bromsgrove, Worcestershire

Bromsgrove, located in Worcestershire within the Heart of England, offers a unique accommodation option at Rosedene, a Grade II listed Chartist cottage. This historic red-brick cottage provides guests with a rare opportunity to experience a piece of British political history, as it has remained largely unchanged since its initial occupation by early Chartists during the Victorian era. Staying at Rosedene allows visitors to step back in time while enjoying modern amenities.

The property features an organic garden at the front, producing seasonal fruits and vegetables, alongside a flourishing orchard in the back. This land was originally designated for the cottage's first occupants to cultivate crops, thereby supplementing their diet and income. The experience at Rosedene is likened to camping within walls, providing a rustic yet comfortable stay amid the historical surroundings.

Guests are encouraged to explore the natural beauty nearby, including a morning walk to Chadsley Woods Nature Reserve, which has a rich history dating back to the 13th century. This area is particularly known for birdwatching and the presence of butterflies. Additionally, the Clent Hills and Waseley Hills Country Park, located just six miles from the cottage, offer stunning panoramic views and numerous walking trails for outdoor enthusiasts.

Rosedene serves as an ideal base for exploring the surrounding region, with easy access to major towns and attractions. Birmingham, Kidderminster, and Worcester are all within a 30-minute drive, providing visitors with a variety of entertainment and cultural experiences. Families can enjoy nearby attractions such as Cadbury World, Stourport, The West Midlands Safari Park, Bewdley, and The Wyre Forest Nature Reserve, all located within 15 miles of the cottage.
