Description

DESCRIPTION Stunning Two-Bedroom Apartment in the Newly Restored Reliance Works

Discover a spacious and stylish two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in the newly renovated Reliance Works, a beautifully restored three-story Grade II listed building. This unique development features nine meticulously designed one- and two-bedroom apartments that blend classic Georgian architecture with modern interiors, all set in the historic heart of Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter. 

ABOUT RELIANCE WORKS Originally constructed around 1825, Reliance Works draws architectural inspiration from the elegant Georgian homes of St Paul's Square, the heart of the Jewellery Quarter. It began as two townhouses-41 and 42 Caroline Street-serving as both residences and workshops for small family jewellers known as 'garret masters.' Notable former residents include esteemed silversmiths George Unite and Nathaniel Mills. Over the years, the two houses were merged by Pickering and Mayall into a single address, No 42 Caroline Street. By 1916, the building evolved into a prominent manufactory for jewellery cases.

Following a prestigious redevelopment, Reliance Works has been reimagined as a collection of nine exquisite one- and two-bedroom duplexes and apartments surrounding a charming ground-floor courtyard. The restoration preserves the building's classic Georgian features-such as timber beams, wooden bay windows, and original signage-while introducing beautifully designed interiors. This project not only honours the Jewellery Quarter's industrial heritage but also stands as one of its most distinctive landmarks for nearly 200 years. With its rich history and stylish ambiance, Reliance Works embodies the true character of the community, offering a unique living experience in one of Birmingham's most desirable locations. 

LOCATION The Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham is a unique blend of rich history and modern vibrancy, making it one of the most appealing places to buy a home. Renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship, the area is home to Europe's largest concentration of jewellers, with over 100 shops and workshops, offering everything from bespoke pieces to traditional fine jewellery.

This historic district boasts a charming mix of Georgian and Victorian architecture, with beautifully restored buildings that exude character and charm. Narrow, cobbled streets are lined with trendy cafes, artisan shops, and galleries, creating an inviting atmosphere that encourages exploration and community. The Jewellery Quarter is also a hub for creativity, with numerous art studios and cultural events that celebrate its rich heritage.

Living in the Jewellery Quarter means enjoying easy access to Birmingham's bustling city center, where you can find a wealth of amenities, including restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues. The area is well-connected by public transport, making commuting and exploring the wider region convenient.
