A substantial seven-bedroom Victorian house set on a rare 0.54-acre plot in Edgbaston, recently renovated to combine period character with contemporary living. The house offers flexible living across multiple reception rooms, a newly extended cinema room (2022) and an open-plan kitchen/family area completed in 2023, all designed for family life and entertaining. The coach house annexe above the garage provides independent one-bedroom accommodation — useful for guests or rental income.
Principal rooms retain original features such as bay windows, high ceilings, parquet and Minton flooring while modern upgrades include fitted kitchens with Silestone worktops, contemporary bathrooms and an EV charging point. The cellar is currently fitted out as a gym; numerous practical spaces (utility, boot room, pantry) support everyday family needs. The mature rear garden faces southeast and flows from a raised terrace to a large lawn framed by established planting.
Important practical notes: the property lies within the Calthorpe Estate and is subject to Scheme of Management charges. Council tax is very expensive. The wider neighbourhood is classified as cosmopolitan student communal living, so nearby student activity and related demand should be expected. The house is freehold, has ample driveway parking, a garage and good transport and school links close to Birmingham city centre.
This house suits a large family seeking substantial, characterful accommodation with modern comforts, or a purchaser looking for a principal residence with potential annexe income. Buyers should factor in ongoing management scheme fees and high council tax when assessing running costs.
