Lowsonford is a delightful unspoilt Warwickshire village, with a thriving community, enjoying a rural location yet conveniently placed for quick access to Henley in Arden (approximately four miles) which provides a comprehensive range of shopping and recreational facilities. In addition, the larger villages of Knowle, Dorridge and Hockley Heath are close to hand as is Solihull town centre with its extensive and unrivalled amenities, including the new Touchwood shopping centre. Lowsonford contains a variety of interesting dwellings as well as the renowned and picturesque canalside Fleur de Lys Inn. There are many delightful canalside walks along the towpaths, as well as bridleways through the beautiful countryside surrounding Lowsonford.
The N.E.C., Birmingham International Airport and Railway Station are all within an approximate 20/25 minute drive and the M42 junction at Monkspath and the M40 junction at Hockley Heath are both within an approximate ten minute drive, thereby providing fast links to the M1, M5 and M6.
Bushwood Hall
Bushwood Hall occupies an idyllic rural location on the outskirts of Lowsonford village and in the heart of the Tapster valley and is one of the few moated properties in the area, dating back to the 16th century.
Steeped in history, the site of this moated manor house can be traced back to 1314 when there was a stone gatehouse on the site built by Sir John de Bishopsden, which was erected to link to the drawbridge over the moat. The timbers forming the lower part of the drawbridge were excavated in 1961 and are preserved in one of the barns.
The moat, which is certainly older than 1314 has been carefully preserved and has water all the way round, being fed by springs and overflowing into the nearby Tapste Brook. Interestingly, Robert Catesby, leader of the 1605 Gunpowder plot was born at Bushwood Hall in 1573 and the original stone house was superseded by a newer more comfortable house in or around 1600 and this forms the rear portion of the current Bushwood Hall. The front part of the house was probably built circa 1800 and was a working farm until 1960.
The current Grade II listed Bushwood Hall presents a most appealing elevation and forms a very quintessential English period property with its extensive range of outbuildings, orchard, gardens and moat. The character accommodation briefly offers
