An imposing Victorian detached house on over one acre in Edgbaston, this 10-bedroom residence combines grand period detail with generous modern living spaces. The heart of the home is a vast open-plan kitchen/dining/family room under a glazed atrium, plus multiple reception rooms, a separate studio above a double garage and extensive mature gardens — ideal for large or multi-generational families.
The house retains strong Arts & Crafts and Victorian features: high ceilings, stained glass, Minton tiles, large bay windows and original fireplaces. Practical comforts include underfloor heating to key areas, integrated kitchen appliances, a cellar for storage and gated parking with a substantial driveway and double garage.
Set in a desirable, well-served part of Edgbaston close to parks, schools and transport links, the property offers excellent scope for entertaining, home working and flexible family living. The second-floor layout and studio present potential to create a self-contained apartment or guest suite if required.
Buyers should note this is a very large, historic home: maintenance and running costs will be above average (council tax very expensive). The property sits in an area with above-average crime statistics, and the period fabric will require ongoing care and sympathetic upkeep to preserve its character.
