9 Serpentine Road, Harborne
We were initially asked by the client to view the property with them prior to purchase, to help advise on the property’s potential and likely restoration costs. We are currently in the process of restoring this attractive detached Victorian property, by fully modernising it with state of the art heating, reworking some of the rooms, adding windows and French doors to create a very desirable five bedroom, two bathroom family home, with large kitchen diner, separate utility and two reception…
6 Court Oak Road, Harborne
Our client approached us to come up with a scheme for their recently purchased family home, to convert an unsympathetic 1960s extension on the side of their property, into a separate granny annexe, in keeping with the rest of the building. After some thought we suggested a part reconfiguration of the front elevation, increasing window sizes to match the main building, together with the removal of an up-and-over garage door, and replace with an additional window and secondary front door….
28 George Road, Harborne
We were initially asked by the selling agent, Robert Powell, to assist a prospective client of theirs in viewing a Grade II Listed Regency house and help the client come up with some feasible ideas as to what could be done with the property. After an initial meeting at the property we arranged a further meeting with Steven King, the Construction Officer for the local planning office, to listen to our ideas and confirm what could and could not be…
126 Westfield Road, Harborne
Our client had originally struggled to find an architect or building company who were able to come up with some credible ideas on how to build a large modern kitchen / dining extension to the rear of their property, while making sure it was in keeping with the period and style of the main building. After a number of consultations, Simon Michael Homes, along with our architects, proposed a scheme which gave the client everything they had asked for, together…
55 Melville Road, Edgbaston
55 Melville Road is a pretty three storey semi detached town house situated in the St Augustine’s Conservation area. It has a prominent position next to St Augustine’s Church. The property had had a very unsympathetic modernisation in the 1970s, with many of the original features removed and the addition of some aluminium windows and doors to the rear. The property was extensively refurbished with many missing original features replaced. It offers two large reception room with a particularly beautiful…
40 Portland Road, Edgbaston
40 Portland Road was a challenge, not because of what had to be done, rather the amount of work needed to help the property take on a greater status. Apart from the red brick facade and rear, together with its roof structure, everything else had to be replaced. We created a whole new second floor allowing for two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. This, together with the rest of the property, was accessed via a brand new galleried staircase….
44 Portland Road, Edgbaston
44 Portland Road is a fine example of a superb three storey detached Victorian Townhouse, within the St Augustine’s conservation area, which was comprehensively renovated and sympathetically modernised to an exceedingly high level of specification. The spacious and most well appointed accommodation was set upon three floors and extended to around 3,671 sq ft. This fine by neglected large townhouse was purchased in 2003. It had been converted sometime in the 1970s from a family house into three large two…
132 Greenfield Road, Harborne
132 Greenfield Road was created from land acquired from a neighbouring property. We wanted to build a smart, but understated mock Victorian three storey detached townhouse. Apart from the fitment, (the gallery images speak for themselves) the actual construction of the property was high specification and, more importantly, high quality. The whole property had concrete suspended floors and all internal walls were concrete block. This allowed for the installation of a complete wet under floor heating system with individual room…
43 York Street, Harborne
43 York Street, when purchased, looked from the front facade, a little like a railway cottage. For many years it had been hacked around by previous owners on limited budgets. It occupied a prominent position and with some radical plans, could be made into something special. The front facade was completely re-worked and simplified but at the same time made to look grander. Two re-worked beautiful bay windows were installed together with original Bath stone sills and canopy porch. A…
42 Portland Road, Edgbaston
42 Portland Road is a fine example of a grand Victorian townhouse. This property was tastefully and extensively renovated and modernised to produce one of Edgbaston’s finest houses. The spacious and well appointed accommodation set upon three floors together with its separate two-storey Coach House extend to around 5,000 sq ft. The property was purchased in December 1999 when it had been neglected for many years and had spent the last 20 years as ‘student digs’. The house was completely…
