The Cedars

The Cedars is a farmhouse that has been converted into a nursing home. It dates from the 18th century or earlier and was remodeled in 1840 for Samuel Allcock, a needle manufacturer from Redditch. The building was extended in the late 19th century, again in 1930, and altered around 1970. It features sandstone ashlar and painted brick with fishscale slate roofs, complemented by stone stacks and grouped brick chimneys. The overall shape is roughly H-plan, with the central two-bay range and the north wing originating from the 1840 remodeling, while the south wing is a later addition.

The structure is two stories tall with an attic, and the gables are adorned with pierced scalloped bargeboards and moulded finials. The east entrance elevation has four bays, with the south gabled wing projecting further than the north wing. The first-floor windows have drip-moulds, some of which feature head stops believed to have come from Bordesley Abbey. The central part has a small gable above the left bay, with a ground floor 5-light stone-mullioned window, a 3-light window, and a 2-light window on the first floor, along with an attic light in the gable. The main entrance, located to the right, includes a gabled porch with a 4-centred archway and a square head, featuring a drip-mould with head stops and the date "1840" carved in Roman numerals. Above the mould is a shield within a quatrefoiled traceried panel, with narrow lights on the side elevations of the porch and a half-glazed door.

The south gable end to the left has a small ground floor hipped bay window, a 4-light first floor window, and a loophole in the gable apex. There is also a 2-light first floor window and glazed double doors at the angle with the main part. The north gable end to the right features a large ground floor hipped bay window, a 3-light first floor window, and an attic light. Inside, there is a small room at the rear of the main part lined with 17th-century panelling said to have come from Bordesley Abbey. Single-storey additions from around 1930 and 1970 are attached to the south side of the south wing.
