DESCRIPTION
Old Heaton House is a restoration project undertaken by Elevate Property Group of a historic double fronted five bedroomed Gentlemen's residence with over 3455 sq.ft (321 sq.m) of accommodation, lovingly and sympathetically restored both externally and internally. The property was in a state of complete ruin, buried in the depths of 19th and 20th century industrial Birmingham. From 2020, the building has been subject to a sensitive two-year restoration project to return the building to its former glory as the jewel in the crown of a new development of apartments, townhouses and workspaces.
HISTORY
Old Heaton House is a former detached residence of c 1823 on the south-west side of Camden Street, situated in the heart of Birmingham's historic jewellery quarter (JQ). it stands as one of only two remaining Georgian villas in the JQ and is a rather fine example of a gentrified suburban residence of the early 19th century, set within its own miniature landscaped park. The house was originally built for William Cotterill, a leading birmingham merchant of high status. the house was then occupied by Thomas Cotterill, William's brother, who was styled 'esquire' having joined the ranks of the gentry. after Thomas' death in 1860, the house was bought by joseph wedgwood who rented it out to Richard Corbett Brinton in the late 1860s, the last private resident. In 1870 Heaton House was rented by Harris and Lazarus, with records listing the property as "house, stables, lofts and premises". by 1876 the property had been sub-divided; one portion was being leased by Archibald Nicholson, travelling draper, the rest briefly used by the London, birmingham and Havana cigar co. By 1889, Richard Cruikshank acquired the house and the grounds to the northwest were partly built over to form courts of workers' houses, while a large villa to its south-east (Camden villa now demolished) is shown with an industrial works to the rear. After 1964 when Cruikshank ceased trading, the property was subdivided into commercial and industrial units, being occupied right up until 2005 when it became vacant.
LOCATION
The property is located in the heart of Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter, minutes from St Paul's Square and close to the canal walkways. The Jewellery Quarter is a designated conservation area and proposed World Heritage Site and is already a prestigious and highly desired part of Birmingham. It is experiencing further development as some of the old factories are converted into apartments, restaurants and shops. It is only a short distance to all that Birmingham City Centre has to offer The City Centre offers some of the best shopping in the country. The famous Bullring Shopping Centre is only around three quarters of a mile away, and contains over 140 shops including one of the only Selfridges department stores outside of London and the exclusive Mailbox development, which is host to a range of designer outlets including Armani and Harvey Nichols. The recently opened £150m Grand Central Shopping Centre sits directly above the new £600 million redevelopment of the now world class New Street station, in addition to over 60 premium retailers and quality restaurants and cafes. The redevelopment enforces Birmingham's retail landscape bringing a mix of unrivalled premium fashion and quality high street brands to the heart of the city. There are good links to the national motorway network, with excellent access to Birmingham International Airport and The National Exhibition Centre. The A38 Aston Expressway is only around half a mile away, and leads directly onto Junction 6 of the M6 which is itself only some 3.5 miles distant. Public transport by road and rail is also most convenient. Major bus routes into and out of the City Centre can be picked up nearby. The Jewellery Quarter Train is minutes away away, Birmingham Snow Hill station half a mile, and the superb more recently developed Birmingham New Street Station is only approximately 1 mile away.
