Pipers Brook, Eastham is a mid 19th century pair of cottages that were once part of Lower House Farm agricultural estate. During the 20th century they were converted and modernised to a single dwelling by the local farmer Stuart Ward. He subsequently brought up his family here. In the 1980s the building and a hectare of land were sold off so that a new farm house could be built on the adjacent farm. This resulted in the present owner Bruce Osborne securing Pipers Brook when he was Marketing Director of a local substantial food business.

Pipers Brook is located in the outstandingly beautiful Teme Valley five miles east of Tenbury Wells. It includes a woodland alongside the stream that forms the western boundary. This part of Worcestershire is designated one of "great landscape value" and comprises agricultural hamlets intersperced with quiet residential properties. Although appearing to be somewhat of a backwater, the heart of Birmingham is only an hour away and towns such as Kidderminster, Ludlow and Droitwich considerably less.

Over the years many improvements and innovations have been carried out giving Pipers Brook a distinctive character of its own. The milestone at the roadside was rescued from a scrap yard and receives occasional publicity because of its present location. Similarly the Birmingham Corporation lamp posts would have been destroyed if not rescued. The major changes carried out on the interior of the premises were by Rochford builder Chris Jones, demonstrating the flare that this now defunt business had for enhancing a property's potential. At the rear is the log cabin used by Bruce when frequenting the premises, the main house being occupied by tenants. Click the bird to discover Bruce.
