A rare opportunity to acquire the historic Grade II Listed Raddle Hall in Broseley. The property is spacious, well-maintained, and centrally located, featuring gardens, outbuildings and period details, including an iron spider web window.
Located in the sought-after location of Broseley, a charming town on the south bank of Ironbridge Gorge with a lively community, amenities, and two primary schools. Nearby towns Bridgnorth and Telford have great state schools, while Shrewsbury, just 40 minutes away, offers top private schools like Shrewsbury School and Shrewsbury High School. Mainline trains are in Telford and Shrewsbury. The M54 provides easy access to the West Midlands. International airports are in Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool.
Raddle Hall was built in 1663, as indicated by the plaque on the wall, and is widely believed to be the oldest house in Broseley.
The name “Raddle Hall” is thought to derive from its distinctive red brick colour, with “raddle” being an old English word for red. At the time of its construction, brick houses were quite rare, as most buildings in the area were half-timbered.
The house has connections to at least two notable local historical figures: John Onions, ironmaster; John Randall, historian and Coalport painter. A plaque, presented by the Broseley Local History Society, commemorates John Randall’s association with the property. The current owners have also gathered a wealth of history about Raddle Hall and its previous occupants.
For at least 150 years, the property was divided into three separate cottages, according to sale records for John Onions in 1877. Because of this, the house is sometimes referred to as 20-22 Church Street. The present owners purchased the property 20 years ago and, at that time, it was still divided and suited their needs for multi-generational living. In 2019, they decided to restore it to a single residence—something that hadn’t been done for at least 150 years and uncovered further character and charm.
Today, although the ground floor has been significantly extended compared to its original 360-year-old structure, Raddle Hall remains as close to its historic roots as possible.
