3 LOCATION Seisdon House stands within a short distance of the centre of the village of Seisdon which is ideally situated within unspoilt countryside and yet within convenient travelling distance of Wolverhampton, Telford, Stourbridge, Dudley, Bridgnorth and surrounding areas. There are some local facilities within the village and shopping at Pattingham, Perton and Wombourne and Tettenhall, Merry Hill and Compton on the outskirts of Wolverhampton. There are excellent schools in both sectors within travelling distance, some of which provide coach services. DESCRIPTION Seisdon House has early origins. The kitchen area probably dates from the Seventeenth Century and was a property of some importance which is demonstrated by the fine, carved and fluted timbers. The major part is probably Victorian with a front added subsequently in Georgian style. Many of the windows have been replaced with UPVC double glazed units to match the originals. Seisdon House offers the opportunity of alteration and improvement, the cost of which would be amply justified by its spacious rooms and location. The front drive leads through a five-barred gate to an extensive, gravelled forecourt and the drive continues around the side of the house and runs into the tarmac back drive which also give access from Post Office Road. Seisdon House has a dignified, formal front elevation and is built of brick with slate roof with matching sash windows.
