Large renovated 1930s detached house on 0.55 acres — period charm with modern living..
Five bedrooms, three reception rooms and principal bedroom suite
A substantial five-bedroom detached house set on about 0.55 acres in sought-after Edgbaston. The house dates from 1937 and has been sensitively renovated, combining period features—sash windows, marble fireplaces and oak floors—with a large, modern breakfast kitchen, utility room and contemporary fittings throughout. Rooms flow well for family life and entertaining, with three reception rooms plus a TV/snug and a principal suite overlooking the mature, southerly garden.
Outdoor space is a standout: a wide terrace, expansive lawn, woodland walkway, mature trees and a detached double garage, all offering privacy and flexible use for children, pets and gardening. Practical outbuildings include a boiler room, garden store and gardeners’ WC. The location is convenient for central Birmingham (about two miles), nearby public transport on Hagley Road and highly regarded local schools, making it well suited to families wanting space close to the city.
Notable positives are the scale of the plot, quality of recent renovation and mix of period character with modern living spaces. Important limitations are also clear: there are only two bathrooms serving five bedrooms, council tax is very expensive, and the area records high crime levels — factors to weigh for household budgeting and security planning.
This is a rare combination of generous in-town grounds, period charm and turnkey condition; suited to a family seeking space, someone wanting entertaining rooms and garden privacy, or a buyer interested in the site’s in‑town development potential subject to checks and permissions.
