"It would have been a grand house in it's early days" - you can see the house via Google Maps - just search for 82 Rectory Road, Redditch.  Sorry I don't know how to shrink the link  :-\ :-\

Yes I know the house, seems lots were built and the then lots on the other side of the road were knocked down in the 60s to build semi detached houses
