Description

A spectacular Grade II Listed stucco villa set within beautiful grounds of 0.8 of an acre, situated on a private road well away from the public gaze. Accommodation and outbuildings in all extending to some 4,800 sq ft including 3 stunning reception rooms, 6 double bedrooms and 3 bath/shower rooms.

Situation

Highland Lodge is set some 200m off Wellington Road down a private road which leads to just ten dwellings, all set in a peaceful residential location in the heart of leafy Edgbaston. Birmingham City Centre lies some two miles to the north via the nearby A38 Bristol Road. Edgbaston Priory Club with its gym, pool, tennis and squash courts is less than half a mile away as is Edgbaston Golf Club. An excellent choice of private schools including Hallfield, West House, Priory, King Edwards and King Edwards High School for Girls are all nearby making the location an ideal choice for young families.

Description

Highland Lodge is thought to have been built in around 1830 and displays handsome architecture and many classic Georgian period features throughout. Of particular note are the two storey shallow bows to either side of the entrance on the front elevation which give the house symmetry and grandeur. The property has been Grade II Listed for its architectural and historical importance and it is featured in the renowned Pevsner architectural guide for Birmingham.

The property offers beautifully proportioned accommodation set principally over two storeys (plus cellar) and extends in all to an impressive 4,800 sq ft (446 sq m) including outbuildings. The ground floor living space is set around an inviting central reception hall with guest cloakroom WC to the rear, and access to the cellars.

There are three fine reception rooms, each with superb proportions and features including large windows, cornicing and exquisite original fireplaces. The drawing room is a magnificent dual aspect room with three full height sash windows within a shallow bow to the south elevation and full height glazed double doors to the west elevation. The dining room has excellent proportions and enjoys a westerly aspect over the grounds via two sets of full height glazed double doors which open out onto the terrace. The third reception room is presently a study but has similar grand proportions to the main drawing room. It too has three full height sash windows set within a shallow bow to the front, as well as a further sash window overlooking the courtyard to the side.

The breakfast kitchen overlooks the courtyard and has cream coloured fitted base and wall mounted units, one and a half bowl stainless steel sink with mixer tap, integrated appliances including Neff electric oven and grill, Bosch 4 ring gas hob with concealed extractor over, Bosch integrated dishwasher, under counter fridge. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room with further fitted base and wall units, stainless steel sink with mixer tap, space for a fridge freezer, space and plumbing for a washing machine. A part glazed door from the utility room opens out into the enclosed courtyard.

The first floor accommodation radiates off an elegant central landing which enjoys an abundance of natural light via a most beautiful arched window on the half landing and a large skylight above the stairs.

There are six double bedrooms in all, the largest of which enjoys a prime dual aspect position in the south west corner with views over the grounds through a sash window to the front and two sash windows to the side. Two of the other bedrooms have en suite bath/shower rooms, with the remaining bedrooms sharing the large family bathroom which has bath, separate shower enclosure, wash basin and WC.

Outside

The house is approached by way of a gravelled driveway which is entered through imposing brick pillars topped with ball finials. The driveway winds through mature planting until it sweeps to a broad opening in front of the house where there are splendid views over the grounds as well as excellent parking provision for multiple cars. To the right hand side, a set of solid timber gates open into the enclosed courtyard with granite setts. The various brick outbuildings are situated here and are made up of the former coach house and stables. There is a large garage with timber double doors, adjacent to which the old stable makes for an ideal workshop/garden store. Adjacent to that is a further workshop/store with stairs leading up to a loft room above, ideal for conversion to a studio, home office, gym, or guest accommodation (subject to any necessary consents).

The grounds themselves wrap around the front and side of the house to the south and west, making the house and gardens ideally positioned to benefit from maximum sunlight. Gravel pathways wind through mature planting to the perimeter of the plot, whilst the substantial central lawn provides a large open space. To the west elevation of the house is an elevated sun terrace with steps down to a further terrace, ideal for al-fresco dining.

In all we have measured the total plot to be in the order of 0.8 acre (0.32ha).

About Robert Powell, Birmingham

Industry affiliations:Industry affiliation 0 logoIndustry affiliation 1 logoIndustry affiliation 2 logo

Robert Powell has gained an enviable reputation in Birmingham for its integrity and its high quality, impartial, confidential and professional property service. Perhaps best known for selling some of south Birmingham’s finest houses, our years of experience in the property market means that we are able to provide a full range of services, including: Private House Sales, Residential Lettings and Management, Property Acquisition, Land Disposal & Development Advice, Professional Services and Surveys, Commercial Property Management, Rural Land and Estate Management.

Private House Sales

This is our core business and probably what we are best known for. The Robert Powell brand name has become synonymous with middle to top-end of the market properties in Edgbaston, Harborne, Moseley, Selly Park, Barnt Green and Birmingham City Centre.

With over 80 years of combined sales experience, we consider that few companies can provide a similar level of service and expertise. We offer realistic advice on how to secure the best value for your property, rather than providing over-ambitious valuations in order to secure instructions.

Whatever your circumstances, we are able to adapt in order to meet your wishes and aspirations. We are specialists in conducting discreet marketing campaigns and off market disposals when the privacy of our client is a requirement. Our extensive database is updated daily which, along with our contacts and local knowledge, gives us the ability to “cherry pick” potential purchasers.

To talk about selling your property, or to register your requirement on our database, call our sales team on 0121 454 6930 or send us an email at sales@robertpowell.co.uk.

Residential Lettings

Our experienced letting team are here to help investors wishing to let their property for short or long-term periods. We can offer you peace of mind that the letting is not only in good hands, but that the best possible rents will be obtained. Our personal service has helped us to become one of the leading letting agents for newly built City Centre apartments and town houses, refurbished properties, and private houses throughout Birmingham and surrounding areas.

We are members of the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) which means that we follow their strict guidelines to ensure a high standard of service at all times.

Our Lettings Service includes:

• Inspections and advice on rental levels

• Marketing campaigns

• Viewings

• Ensuring all legal requirements are met

• Negotiating terms

• Tenancy agreements

• Handling deposits

• Inventories

In conjunction with the above, we also offer a management service incorporating rent collection, payment of outgoings, repairs and maintenance, and regular inspections.

To talk about renting out your property, or to register your requirement on our database, call our lettings department on 0121 4543322 or send us an email at lettings@robertpowell.co.uk

Professional Services

With 110,000 members in 120 countries, The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) is the world's leading professional body addressing all aspects of land, property, construction and the associated environmental issues. An independent, not-for-profit organisation, RICS acts in the public interest, upholding standards of competence and integrity among its members and providing impartial, authoritative advice on major issues affecting business and society worldwide.

As Chartered Surveyors, Robert Powell are able to offer specialist professional advice and services. We have to follow strict guidelines and codes of conduct which means our clients can be certain that we are fully qualified to do the job in hand, and that the advice we give is the product of years of training and experience.

The main disciplines of our Professional Services are:

Surveys

We can undertake detailed building surveys on all types of residential and commercial properties throughout the Midlands. We arrange, as necessary, contractors estimates and specialist investigations.

Valuations

We carry out valuations of residential and commercial property of all types for a variety of purposes including acquisition, mortgage, probate, capital gains tax, balance sheet and insurance.

Homebuyer Reports

For most clients their home is their greatest single asset and as such, it is essential to obtain independent professional advice during the acquisition process. We are able to offer that specialist advice, backed up by over 25 years experience.

Dilapidations

We can prepare Schedules of Dilapidations for landlords and Schedules of Condition for tenants. We also offer general advice to landlords and tenants on dilapidation issues and disputes.

Expert Witness Reports

We are able to prepare Expert Witness evidence concerning property maters with particular emphasis on survey and valuation reports, building disputes and boundary matters.

For further details contact Nigel Thompson or Robert Powell on 0121 454 6930

Land Disposal and Development Consultancy

Over recent years Robert Powell has been involved in hundreds of millions of pounds worth of new developments in and around Birmingham. We have helped landowners unlock the value of their property by offering advice on disposal strategy, and we have helped developers maximise the value of their schemes by sharing our market expertise.

We have also been able to utilise our local knowledge and contacts to assemble complicated multi-ownership sites and convert them into viable and profitable development opportunities. We have built strong relationships with developers large and small, and we have gained a valuable reputation as ‘dealmakers’ in the marketplace.

Today, we continue to offer these services but with nationwide coverage. A recent change has seen our New Homes division form a joint venture with national firm DTZ to form DTZ Robert Powell New Homes. This has enabled us to broaden our horizons and has lifted the geographical restrictions that were previously holding us back from expanding this side of the business. (More information about DTZ Robert Powell can be found at the Home page)

For further details contact either Robert Powell or James Powell on 0121 454 6930

Property Acquisition

Buying a house, flat or apartment can be time consuming and stressful, but it is likely to be the most important purchase you will ever make. We will do all the hard work for you and use our extensive knowledge of the market to eliminate the uncertainty, risk and stress that is associated with buying the property that you want.

This service has proved particularly valuable to purchasers moving into the area when local knowledge and long standing relationships with the leading selling agents has proved invaluable. We have also been able to help companies bring high earning employees into the area, who find that being offered our service as part of their relocation package provides them with the element of comfort they need in order to make the decision to move.

The service can be as basic or as comprehensive as you require, but could include any or all of the following:

Property Search

• A detailed property search can be provided throughout a wide geographical area, taking into account specific client requirements such as commuting distances, schools and other local facilities.

Valuation & Negotiation

• Where a property has been identified, an initial valuation inspection is undertaken prior to discussing the strategy of the purchase with the client. Thereafter we directly negotiate the purchase, utilising our experience and in many instances, close connections with the Vendor’s agents to bring about a smooth transition to the contract stage.

Survey and Formal Valuation

• Our Survey Department can then undertake a detailed structural survey or Homebuyers Report, whichever is considered appropriate. If required, a formal valuation report can be produced for bank or building society purposes.

For further details contact either Robert Powell or James Powell on 0121 4546930
