Approached via a country lane, Gothersley Hall is an Art Deco country house constructed in the 1920's.

The modernisation lovingly retained a wealth of period features such as original panelling, original panelled doors, ornate mouldings and original beams.

Whilst now being a country home ideal for modern living, historically the Hall was once the home of Wizard frontman Roy Wood, who wrote the hit 'I wish it could be Christmas everyday' in the kitchen.
