Malvern House, Park Road, Solihull - as seen from New Road

This is Malvern House on the corner of New Road and Park Road in Solihull. I first saw it a couple of weeks ago when walking past on the other side of the road (New Road) but forgot to come back and get shots of it (until today).

 

I discovered on Heritage Gateway that it is a Grade II* listed building, and it used to be The Old Grammar School.

 

It is currently To Let.

 

Solihull School moved to this site in a house in 1615. It stayed here until 1882 when it moved to School House on the current 50 acre site of Solihull School.

 

The school had existed since 1560 in the Parish Church of St Alphege (a short walk away from here).

 

 

Otherwise known as Malvern House. Mid C18. Red brick, old tiled roof. 2 storeys

and attics with 2 storey 2 window gabled projections, with brick copings, either

side. Central 4 panel door in architrave surround with cornice on consoles. Sash

windows and some casements with wooden transoms. Mby incorporate earlier structure

of mid C17. Late C19 additions on left and at back.
