Storrage House

Storrage House is a house built around 1837, constructed from header-bond red brick featuring vitrified brick diapering and sandstone dressings. It has a clay shaped tile roof with moulded stone coping on the gables, which are topped with stone finials and shaped stone kneelers. The brick gable-end stacks have been rebuilt with diagonally-set shafts.

The house has an L-shaped plan, with the front range containing a central entrance and stair hall, and a service wing at the rear left. It is designed in the Tudor style and stands two storeys high. The symmetrical three-bay south front features a central two-storey gabled porch with a moulded stone Tudor arch doorway, similar arches on the returns, and a moulded stone string course above. There are three-light mullion-transom windows on either side of the porch, with smaller two-light windows above under small gables. All windows have wooden casements with glazing bars set in chamfered stone openings. Similar windows are found on the sides and at the rear, where there are three gables; the smaller central gable is recessed and has a stair window, while the right side features a projecting gable-ended wing.

Inside, the interior is largely intact. The entrance hall has a stone flag floor, a modillion cornice, a panelled Tudor arch, and an open-well staircase with stop-chamfered newels topped with moulded caps and turned balusters. Original joinery includes panelled doors and architraves, along with moulded plaster ceiling cornices. It is reputed that the deeds indicate a construction date of 1837 and that the house was built by Thomas Timmis, who owned Timmis Brickworks in Stourbridge.
