Beacon House 184 Harborne Road | Edgbaston BEACON HOUSE Beacon House 184 Harborne Road | Edgbaston BEACON HOUSE Ideally located just a stone’s throw from Harborne High Street is Beacon House, an extremely well appointed family home that has been extended, modernised and is beautifully presented throughout.. Fine & Country are delighted to bring to the market an outstanding family residence retaining the beauty of the 1930’s grandeur blended perfectly with the best in design and elegant décor from today’s modern contemporary living. Once a home of the Cadbury family, this stunningly presented property offers accommodation across three floors, offering a total of six/seven double bedrooms, six en-suites and a family bathroom, three reception rooms, a gym and an outstanding open plan breakfast kitchen. There is also a large private driveway, double garage and a generous split level rear garden. The property is entered through an original double oak front door that leads into a porch and then into the spacious reception hall. From the moment you enter this family home you are immediately taken with the light and space not to mention the exquisite décor. Leading from the reception hall are all the principle ground floor reception rooms. The charming dining room is perfect for special occasions and family meals and has a beautiful bay window incorporating a patio door leading directly to the terrace and gardens. The ornate plasterwork is superb and the high ceilings are reminiscent of the period of the property. As you would expect from a home of this stature and proportion, the sitting room is a delightful spacious reception room with a bay window overlooking the well screened frontage and double French doors to the rear terrace and gardens beyond, allowing natural light to flood through. The wonderful use of crystal feature lighting and luxury wall coverings creates a tasteful elegance to this room and the feature fireplace offers a lovely focal point. We have poured so much thought, time and love into this house to create our dream family home, so we shall miss this place greatly, as well as the local area which is so familiar to us.” Seller Insight I can honestly say that my wife and I fell in love with this house the minute we laid eyes on it; in actual fact I was so taken with it that I can remember the exact day we came to view it,” says the owner. “It was the 15th July 1997 and as we came onto the drive passing over Chad Brook , there before us was this incredibly handsome double-fronted period home and inside it didn’t disappoint either. It had a huge amount of character and charm and it was very spacious, and although it was definitely in need of a fair bit of TLC, we only saw that as a positive as it meant that we would be able to put our stamp on the whole look and feel of the place and really make it our own.” “Over time we’ve done quite a lot to the property and I feel that we’ve transformed a lovely house into a really beautiful family home. We extended the kitchen and had it fully refitted with beautiful units and all the mod cons, we added a spacious loft conversion, enlarged some of the bedrooms and made them all en suite and we also updated the family bathroom. It’s now absolutely perfect; the layout flows beautifully and is very flexible in terms of how some of the different areas can be used, the rooms are all generously proportioned and crucially it’s all in excellent condition. It’s a house that for us has lived up to all expectations and we’ve been extremely happy here.” “The lounge, the dining room, the kitchen and the gym all have doors that open onto the garden, so when the sun is shining we can really bring the outside in,” continues the owner, “and for us the garden was another huge selling point. It’s very large and arranged over three tiers so there are lots of lovely areas to enjoy. We have a nice patio terrace for relaxing and entertaining, open lawns and the whole space is surrounded by wonderfully mature trees that not only provide us with a really good degree of privacy, but are also really lovely to look at. The garden is definitely something I’ll miss when we leave.” “The kitchen is one of the standout feature of the house,” says the owner. “It’s obviously a very functional room, but it’s also a very sociable part of the house. It has become the real hub of the home.” “The house itself feels quite tucked away, but we’re within striking distance of Harborne High Street, which boasts a fantastic array of shops, and once a month there’s a market that sells a range of organic produce,” says the owner. “We’re also very close to the city centre and if we need to travel further afield, the local transport links are excellent. For us the location really couldn’t have been better.” “The loft conversion has been a wonderful addition,” says the owner. “It incorporates two bedrooms – one of which is currently used as a sitting area – a dressing room, a study area and a lovely bathroom. It enjoys a nice degree of separation from the rest of the house so could be used as a master suite or even provide a nice area for a teenager.” “The children have now all left home so it’s just the two of us here and we feel the time is right to downsize a little,” says the owner. “However, we’ve had twenty-one very happy years here and we’ll take away some extremely fond memories of our time at Beacon House.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property. They have not been independently verified, should not be relied on without verification and do not necessarily reflect the views of the agent. The real “hub of the home” has to be the outstanding family breakfast kitchen. No expense has been spared in creating a flawless, elegant space to be enjoyed by all. The grey polished porcelain tiled flooring, with underfloor heating, sits beautifully next to the contemporary pale cream hi-gloss units with hidden handles and “snow white” quartz stone worktops, upstands and window sills, all forming a wonderfully streamlined finish. The main run of soft close wall and floor mounted units features a bank of integrated kitchen equipment including four Siemens cookers - two electric, a steamer and a microwave/grill, there is also a Bosch dishwasher, Siemens six burner gas hob with a Best extractor fan above and a striking lime green feature glass splash back. There is also a 1.5 bowl Franke sink with a food waste disposal system and a Quooker boiling water tap. The centre island incorporates an integrated wine cooler, Franke sink with a chrome mixer tap and ample storage cupboards and drawers below. The quartz stone island has a superb solid oak breakfast bar to the far end for casual dining and seating. Enhancing the contemporary feel of this space and very in keeping with today’s open plan family living, there are bi-folding doors opening directly onto the terrace and gardens. A further space offers a dining or seating area with a very attractive textured wall backdrop. Leading off the kitchen and overlooking the frontage of the property, is the playroom. With lots of natural light and built in storage, this space has multiple options for alternative use, i.e. a study or music room. Also accessed from the kitchen is the spacious laundry room with a limestone tiled flooring, oak units and space for washer and dryer. There is also an inset laundry sink and a wealth of storage units. Overlooking the rear terrace and garden is the Gymnasium with large mirrored wall and patio doors opening fully onto the rear terrace and garden. A separate cupboard houses two Valliant boilers, a high pressure water system and underfloor heating pipe access. There are also shelves installed to use as an airing cupboard. The kitchen is one of the standout feature of the house,” says the owner. “It’s obviously a very functional room, but it’s also a very sociable part of the house. It has become the real hub of the home.” The double garage with an electronic up and over garage door has been superbly fitted out as a “spice kitchen”. Being easily converted back to a garage if required, this very well equipped second kitchen offers – a centre island breakfast bar for two with Corian style worktops, a Tecknik range cooker with two ovens, a grill and a pan warming drawer and a Rangemaster double sink. Upstairs The master bedroom has been cleverly designed to create a split level between the 10 full height modern wardrobes and the raised bed area with its beautiful velvet wall mounted head board and large tastefully dressed window overlooking the rear gardens. As well as the dressing area, the master suite also offers a dressing room with five sets of drawers, a window overlooking the rear garden and a curved dressing table. This leads in to the master en-suite which is equally as well presented. The contemporary suite sits beautifully alongside large mosaic style porcelain tiling. All the bathrooms in the property have underfloor heating, high end sanitary wear, luxury bathroom furniture and chrome towel rails.

  • Flood Risk Management Annual Report – March 2021
    Birmingham City Council Flood Risk Management Annual Report – March 2021 Flood Risk Management Annual Report Report of the Assistant Director Highways and Infrastructure - March 2021 1. Introduction A scrutiny review of Flood Risk Management (FRM) and Response was published in June 2010. This set out 12 recommendations which were completed in 2010. In June 2010, The Flood and Water Management Act 2010 passed into law conveying new responsibilities and making Birmingham City Council a Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA). This report highlights progress in addressing these statutory responsibilities and provides an update on other flood risk management related issues. This report also provides an update into areas for improvement identified in the review of the May 2018 flooding conducted by members of the Sustainability & Transport O&S Committee on 19th July 2018. No major issues were raised at the submittal of the last Flood Risk Management Report in April 2020. 1.1 Climate Emergency On 11th June 2019, Birmingham City Council (BCC) announced a climate emergency and made the commitment to reduce the city’s carbon emissions and limit Birmingham’s contribution to climate change, with an aspiration to become net zero carbon by 2030. The impact of climate change will not just be felt afar, and the impact on Birmingham residents of increased extreme weather events, including flooding, droughts and heatwave is likely to be profound, with increasing risks to both life and property. Given our global footprint and the diversity of the city, the climate crisis will hit at the heart of families and communities within the city.
