History
'The Grange' is the former home of Lord Herbert Austin of 'The Austin Motor Company' and is situated on the south facing slopes of the Lickey Hills, just 10 miles from the centre of Birmingham and a few minutes drive from the M5 and M42 motorway connections. The building started life as Lickey Grange in 1876 and was bought by Lord Austin in 1910 . It was reported that the famous 'Austin 7' was designed in the billiards room. On Lord Austin’s death in 1941, Lickey Grange was sold and used as a residential school. In 1997 the building was restored and converted into an exclusive luxury apartment complex - each one individual in design. On 3 October 1997, the bust of Lord Austin set into the wall next to the main gates was unveiled by his grandson, Gerald Lambert, at the official opening ceremony of Grange Park. 

Accommodation
The main communal lobby of The Grange features a majestic entrance hall featuring original canvas work (thought to be the work of Burne Jones), stained glass panels and Minton floor tiles. Ground, first and second floor levels are all served by a lift and principal staircase.

The Healey Suite is a delightful two bedroom apartment set over two floors boasting recently upgraded double glazing, an energy efficient heating system, spacious rooms, private balcony and single garage with remote control electric door.

The internal accommodation comprises: Entrance hall, cloaks cupboard and guest WC, grand lounge with large bay window, impressive 3.35m (10' 9') ceiling height and a living flame gas fire. The formal dining room at the end of the hallway enjoys access to an Easterly balcony with pleasant views and an inner vestibule leads to a brand new high quality breakfast kitchen with under stairs storage cupboard, integrated fridge/freezer, Zanussi double oven, La Mona gas hob, dishwasher and beautiful views over the front grounds. The double bedroom on the main floor offers fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room.
