Original features are always a great selling point in a period property, and in this house on Carpenter Road, Edgbaston, the beauty of this building has been rightfully preserved. It is probably at its finest in the front reception room where there is a stunning moulded ceiling.

Other period touches include ornate coving, deep skirting boards, original sash windows and panelled doors.

The reception hall has wide archways, and wooden panelled doors to the formal dining room and the front living room. There’s also a laundry room, breakfast room, drawing room kitchen, walk-in pantry and cellarage. There is also a door to the courtyard, stable block, and a two-bedrooom flat.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside there is a walled rear garden with a crazy paved terrace.
