Tenby Street, Birmingham

The cottage is set within a courtyard, accessed from the street via a secure, code-operated entrance. Fully renovated and modernised by the current owners over the past nine years, the property has benefited from extensive improvements including a new roof with upgraded insulation, a new gas boiler, secondary glazing throughout, and solar-powered Velux roof windows, creating a beautifully presented home that combines period charm with modern efficiency.

The cottage is one of just four houses set within a private courtyard, offering a peaceful and secluded setting.

Immediately outside the property is a private courtyard, ideal for outside dining and entertaining, featuring attractive cobbled flooring and two useful storage sheds. Previous planning permission (now lapsed) had approved the construction of an extension into the rear courtyard, offering potential for future development, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

Entrance from the front door provides access to the staircase rising to the first floor, along with doors leading to the kitchen and sitting room.

The kitchen, newly fitted this year by Dual Works Ltd, is beautifully appointed with bespoke handcrafted wall and base units, an integrated electric oven, hob and extractor, together with space for additional appliances. It also features an original handcrafted breakfast bar, double barn doors opening onto the courtyard, and a large window fitted with modern secondary glazing.

The sitting/dining room benefits from two large windows overlooking the courtyard, both fitted with modern secondary glazing. A solid cherrywood floor runs throughout the dining area, while barn-style doors open directly onto the courtyard, creating an excellent space for entertaining. The room also provides access to the cellar.

There is an additional cloakroom featuring a newly tiled floor, WC and wash hand basin, together with useful space for coats and additional storage.

Upstairs, the staircase opens onto a spacious landing, ideal for use as a study, with three large windows fitted with modern secondary glazing and a solar-powered Velux roof window. From here, doors lead to the bedrooms and shower room.

The principal bedroom features two large windows with secondary glazing, a solar-powered Velux roof window, and a built-in cupboard/wardrobe. The second bedroom is also a generous double, benefiting from large windows and a Velux roof light.

The family shower room is fitted with a contemporary three-piece suite comprising a double shower, pedestal wash hand basin, and low-level WC.

The property is ideally located within the Jewellery Quarter, close to a range of local shops, restaurants, bars, and amenities. It also offers excellent transport links, with easy access to the Jewellery Quarter train station, tram stop, and major road networks connecting to the city centre and the M5.
