Edgbaston is famed for its large period properties, built for the industrialists and business owners who wanted to enjoy their wealth and escape the city fug that their factories created.

Any new builds need to be in keeping to be as attractive to buyers as the houses already available in the leafy suburb are.

The Lordswood Garden development by David Wilson in Bernard Road, which is on the borders of Edgbaston and Harborne, offers homes of substance.

It is made up of three, four, five and six-bedroom homes, ideal for growing families and those needing more space.
