Primrose Hill farmhouse
This fine house is much restored in recent years from a rather derelict state. Although not visible from this direction, the left wall and the rear both have extensive timber framing exposed, and the main construction of the house is of mid-to-late 15th century date. It was Grade II* listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101076230-primrose-hill-farmhouse-kings-norton-ward#.YIgrs7VKhPY & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1076230 in 1973, at which time it was investigated by English Heritage, who found timbers dated to the 1440s and soon thereafter. There is also a large barn just offshot to the left here, of a similar vintage, and also recently converted to a dwelling.
