Description
The property has been meticulously maintained over the years and has undergone improvements but preserves many of the original architectural and characteristic details of the late Victorian era. High Ceilings, deep architraves, gilded and ornate plasterwork to ceilings and cornices give the house a stately feel. The grand proportions and impressive volume, make this magnificent home truly distinguishable. Elegant, spacious, and bright, the house is perfectly suited to the discerning buyer and entertaining on a large scale. Having played host to members of The Royal Family, such as Princess Anne, Princess Margaret and, according to the newspapers in 1986, Princess Alexandra stayed overnight during her visit to Birmingham.
This 8-bedroom, 6 reception room property, Numerous outhouses and cavernous cellars give the opportunity for further enhancement (subject to planning.
The grounds to the rear of Gur-Mehar are considerable in size. Split in two, the first tier of the gardens are laid mainly to lawn with deep mature borders and a pathway leading from the terrace down to the original brick wall with wrought iron gate. This leads through to the second tier of the gardens. This area is vast and consists of formal flower beds and vegetable garden, to the side of this area is the private lake, which is a host for the wonderful wildlife you would expect in the leafy suburb of Edgbaston. Falcons and the odd muntjac have also been spotted here. Originally the main entrance to the home would have been at the back of the property, meaning the property is as aesthetically pleasing from the rear as the front. The property sits on approx. one acre of land, with a further one acre of land and private lake adjoining, which is on an annual tenancy with Calthorpe Estates at £150PCM. (Buyers will need to make their own enquiries)
