I was off-piste here, as the public footpath was poorly marked and difficult to follow.

Track to Grange Farm near Balsall Common
Aerial photos suggest that some arable farming takes place here, unlike many 'farms' in Arden where the farmhouse has become entirely residential.

Shenstone Grange, Balsall Street
This historic Balsall Common house undergoing repairs is Grade II listed; it dates from the 17th century, with additions from the 19th and early 20th centuries. The old house stood at right angles to the road; its gable end can be seen to the left, with the Edwardian (early C20) range to the right. When listed in 2006, the house was rendered with roughcast, but the internal timber-framing was well-preserved. At least some of the roughcast appears to have been removed, and it looks as though new timbers have been applied to the front, probably replicating the internal structure. See the listing at the Historic England site https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1391724?section=official-list-entry . Balsall Common is a mainly 20th century suburban settlement, but is dotted with older buildings from its rural Berkswell past. See also
