Gough Road, Edgbaston

DESCRIPTION Occupying an enviable position on one of Edgbaston's most prestigious residential roads, this magnificent detached Victorian residence extends to approximately 5,400 sq ft and offers an exceptional combination of period elegance, contemporary family living and remarkable versatility.

Beautifully presented throughout, the property is arranged over four floors and provides an outstanding level of accommodation ideally suited to modern family life. Grand reception rooms, luxurious bedroom suites, extensive leisure facilities and a superb upper floor combine to create a home of exceptional scale and character.

A welcoming reception hall sets the tone, leading to a series of beautifully proportioned reception rooms featuring high ceilings, large sash windows and an abundance of original character. The impressive ball room provides an elegant entertaining space, whilst the sitting room, dining room, cinema room, and family accommodation create an ideal environment for both formal occasions and everyday living.

The lower ground floor has been thoughtfully designed as a lifestyle and leisure level, incorporating a cinema room, utility facilities and a stunning vaulted wine cellar, creating an exceptional space for relaxation and entertaining.

The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive. The principal suite enjoys generous proportions and is complemented by a luxurious en-suite bathroom and dressing facilities. In total, the property offers six bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms, providing ample accommodation for large families and guests alike.

The upper floor further enhances the versatility of the home, offering additional bedroom and living accommodation with kitchenette facilities, ideal for guests, older children, staff accommodation or occasional independent use.

Externally, the property enjoys beautifully landscaped gardens which provide a rare degree of privacy and tranquillity. A superb brick-arched terrace creates a striking architectural focal point and an exceptional entertaining space overlooking the lawned gardens beyond. Mature planting, established boundaries and attractive landscaped areas combine to create a setting that feels far removed from city living.

The handsome frontage, with its classical portico entrance and elegant façade, and horse-shoe driveway provides excellent kerb appeal befitting a residence of this calibre. 

LOCATION Gough Road occupies a distinguished position within one of Edgbaston's most historic residential streets. Named after the Gough family, whose estate shaped the development of much of Edgbaston, the road formed part of the area's transformation during the early nineteenth century into a carefully planned suburb for Birmingham's prosperous professional and mercantile families.

The property stands within the best-preserved western section of Gough Road, noted for its impressive early-Victorian villas, mature gardens and strong architectural character. Dating from around 1850 and Grade II listed, this specific property is an important example of the classical villa architecture that defines this sought-after part of Edgbaston, with its elegant proportions, Ionic entrance porch and period detailing.

The surrounding streets retain a sense of the spacious, leafy environment envisaged by the historic Calthorpe Estate, while offering convenient access to Edgbaston Village, Birmingham city centre, leading schools, universities, medical institutions and transport connections.
