This handsome Grade II listed home was designed and built in 1914 by William Bidlake, the leading architect of the Arts and Crafts movement in Birmingham.
A central driveway from Farquhar Road opens into an extensive paved forecourt, offering ample parking space.
Set back from the road, the attractive facade of the house features three distinctive gables. The decorative purple and red brickwork, with a limited use of yellow stone, is characteristic of the Arts and
Crafts style.
The accommodation totals approximately 6,000 sq.ft. and has the benefit of many original character features including a stunning vaulted ceiling and gallery staircase on the first floor, high ceilings with ornate plasterwork, beautiful archways throughout, magnificent fireplaces including Delft tiles and wooden panelling to some of the rooms.
The grand reception hall lies at the centre of the house. Doors radiate to the principal reception rooms providing a delightful flow to the space.
All of the principal reception rooms enjoy a dual aspect and have large, walk-in bay windows providing plenty of light and wonderful views of the garden.
Part of the ground floor, the work room is set apart from the main body of the house, and could be used as a self-contained home office/studio.
There are five large bedrooms, with one currently in use as a games room. A further staircase leads to the large attic which would easily convert to further bedroom accommodation or a cinema/games suite.
The gardens are extensive and secluded. Mature, well-planted borders create a wealth of colour and interest throughout the year. There are lovely lawned areas for outdoor relaxation and entertaining. The many trees include a variety of fruit trees, and the rear of the garden is ideal for vegetable cultivation.
These glorious gardens provide much scope for anyone with an interest in gardening and spending time outside.
The total area of the gardens and grounds is approximately 1.5 acres.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
