Holmwood House in Redditch, Worcestershire, is a country house built for Canon Horace Newton of Glencripesdale Estate and Barrells Hall in 1893[citation needed] by the famed Victorian architect Temple Lushington Moore, who was a vague relative of the Newton family.
Holmwood is laid out over 4 storeys, with basement, and features a hipped roof with dormer windows.
[1] In 1925 the house was sold to the Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes before the town council run Redditch Development Corporation purchased the property, for the headquarters of its organisation turning Redditch into a "New Town".
Large amounts of the 26-acre (110,000 m2) grounds have been developed upon, meaning that the house no longer has the gardens and land it was built with.
Circa 1989 it was converted by Bovis Homes Group into grand residential apartments, retaining the original stone mullioned windows, ornate ceilings, wood panelling and impressive fireplaces.
