Victoria Works, Vittoria Street, Birmingham, B1

A flexible modern build property set over three floors within a gated courtyard at the Historic Victoria Works in The Jewellery Quarter. Formally used for office space and offered with full residential planning ideal for live/work accommodation or as an investment.

Location
An unusual, must-see, and flexible property in the heart of the Jewellery Quarter set within the gated courtyard of Victoria Works, the former Victorian pen factory with its period redbrick walls and brick-paved courtyards. The Gatehouse is a freehold, three-storey townhouse with full residential planning, that has one allocated parking space and plenty of room for outdoor socialising when the weather permits. Designed and built in the early 1980’s by renowned Jewellery Quarter architects, BPN who have converted many notable, award-winning buildings in the area, it sits alongside older, original buildings within the development, both offices and apartments. It has the benefit of being a short walk from Colmore Row, close to all city centre and Jewellery Quarter amenities and transport links, whilst enjoying the privacy of a quiet courtyard with very little activity at evenings and weekends.

Description
Impeccable solid, polished wood floors throughout including the main staircase and giant timber beams in the upper floors make this a characterful property, which has been in use as an office for the last fifteen years and provides potential for re-shaping in several ways. Its distinctive corrugated iron roof is fully insulated and provides an unusual element on the third-floor rooms and would be in keeping with an industrial interior style, although could be boxed in if preferred.

It’s flexible in that it could be a spacious, luxury house with a guest room and en-suite, or it could be separated into a downstairs studio flat for rental, with your own two-storey apartment upstairs. Or it could be your own office/workshop space downstairs with a flat upstairs. Whilst the original first-floor kitchen and bathroom are of an era and would ideally be replaced, they are in immaculate condition and the property is suitable for immediate residential use whilst works are carried out if this is what your plan is.

The downstairs area is currently a large open office space with a separate boiler room, kitchenette, and downstairs toilet/cloakroom. There is a separate lock to an inner entrance door which means this could still be used as a home office/workshop, with the two upper floors which have a kitchen and full bathroom and a separate cupboard next to the bathroom with plumbing for a washing machine.
