This converted convent was once the home of the Poor Clares nuns. The convent was founded in 1850 by six sisters from Bruges and was once visited by Cardinal John Henry Newman. The convent closed in 2011 and was converted into this wonderfully unique residential property.

The Purse is a beautiful conversion with many character features, including grand ceiling heights and historic architecture. The property is named after the 'miracle' silk purse containing ten gold sovereigns, which was discovered in the garden and for the chapel, which you will find at the end of the walled garden.

In brief, the property comprises an entrance hall opening out to a beautiful open-plan kitchen and living dining room which is sure to be the hub of this home. The kitchen area has a range of wall and base units beneath a Silestone worktop and a central island with a breakfast bar with integrated appliances, including a Miele dishwasher, fridge/freezer, oven and combination oven/microwave with warming draw, Gaggenau hob, wine cooler and Quooker hot tap. There is ample space for a dining table and seating area. The ground floor has an excellent sitting room with double doors to the rear gardens, useful utility and a cloakroom. The upper floors mirror the exacting standard of finish to that on the ground, having a desirable principal bedroom suite with en suite shower room, three further bedrooms all of a good size and two bathrooms (one of which is en suite).

Outside is a beautifully landscaped walled garden, well stocked with herbaceous borders full of colour. The chapel within the garden is a lovely feature and gives a real sense of the property's former history. This space could be used in various ways.

There is a double garage and two designated parking spaces.


Situated in a beautiful location close to all of the amenities Lapworth, Dorridge and Knowle have to offer. The property is within easy reach of the intersections with the M40 and M42 giving good access to the Midlands motorway network and the NEC, Birmingham International Airport and the M40 to Oxford and London beyond. Solihull, Henley-in-Arden, Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon are all readily accessible.

There is an excellent range of state, grammar and private schools nearby, including the renowned Solihull boys and girls schools and King Edward the VIII school in Birmingham. Public Schools in Warwick, The Croft Prep School in Stratford-upon-Avon, Stratford Grammar School, Arnold Lodge Prep School and Kingsley School for Girls in Leamington Spa.

Several excellent golf courses are nearby, including Copt Heath Golf Club in Knowle, and The Belfry Hotel is 15 miles away.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
