Exceptional Victorian Residence With Stunning Valley Views, Private Grounds And Detached Lodge

A truly exceptional Victorian residence occupying an elevated and wonderfully private position above the valley, located in the prestigious Wightwick area, just moments from Tettenhall village.

Dating from the mid nineteenth century, Duntally is a remarkable four bedroom period home, believed to have once been owned by the Mayor of Wolverhampton. Rich in history and architectural character, the property retains an exceptional array of original features alongside beautifully appointed modern living spaces.

The impressive accommodation includes a grand entrance hall, formal dining room, principal lounge with ceilings exceeding fourteen feet, morning room, study, utility room, downstairs cloakroom and a stunning bespoke Bernard Savage breakfast kitchen, complete with walk in pantry, wine fridge and underfloor heating.

The kitchen opens onto an elevated terrace with far reaching views across the valley, creating a superb setting for entertaining and outdoor dining.

The first floor offers two excellent double bedrooms, including a particularly impressive principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and wonderful views, complemented by a well-appointed bathroom and separate WC.

The second floor provides two further impressive bedrooms and a bathroom, with both bedrooms enjoying spectacular far-reaching views.

One of Duntally’s most unusual and captivating features is the two remarkable natural caves accessed from the kitchen. Carved into the ancient bedrock of the valley wall, these atmospheric spaces offer a fascinating glimpse into the property’s geological past, with one incorporating a wine cellar.

The grounds are equally impressive, extending across a private elevated setting and encompassing magnificent stone terraces, established gardens, charming follies and a variety of secluded areas, together with a substantial Victorian hothouse. The original coach house, now a Lodge, and the original stable, now a double garage, add further character and provide a fascinating connection to Duntally’s rich past.

Within the grounds is Duntally Lodge, a spacious detached one bedroom residence with its own entrance and parking, offering excellent flexibility for guests, extended family, home working or potential rental use.

The property also benefits from a car port, double garage and considerable parking and turning space.

Despite its exceptional privacy, Duntally is within easy reach of Tettenhall village, with its village greens, independent shops, traditional butcher, baker and grocer, highly regarded schools and excellent road and rail connections.

A rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely unique Victorian home, combining exceptional period character, spectacular views, extensive private grounds and an extraordinary sense of history.
