Property Description
KEY FEATURES:
- 2 Bed Mansion-style Apartment
- With Residents Parking and Separate Garage
- Over 1000sqft of Living Space
Located on the Calthorpe Estate, the apartment is situated on the second floor and offers an entrance hallway, open plan lounge/dining area, fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms, bathroom with shower and a second shower room off the hallway.
Viceroy Close was built in 1937 and was jointly designed by the renowned, inter-war architects, Mitchell and Bridgewater of Berkeley Square, London and Gollins and Smeeton of Bennett's Hill, Birmingham. The compex is one of the finest period developments in Birmingham and has retained many of the original features making this one of the most attractive and, certainly, one of the largest apartments in the area. The carved heads above the entrance doorways to each block and the allegorical scene over the "Lodge" doorway were the work of Oliver O'Connor Barrett who went on to make a name for himself in the USA! During World War Two the empty apartments were commandeered by the military and the War Damage Commission. Each block has a lift and the estate is managed by a resident caretaker who resides in the Lodge (which also houses the Estate Office) and who ensures the smooth running of the site.
The service charge covers the maintenance of the grounds, the lifts, the cleaning and maintaining of the exterior and all common parts, building insurance and, importantly, heating and the water supply are both included within the charge. The purest water supply is pumped from an Artesian well within Viceroy Close, it is then filtered and piped to each apartment with no additives. The hot water comes from a communal heating system. Security arrangements, including door entry systems, lighting, CCTV (recently updated to 4K UHD cameras) and gates have all successfully contributed to the comfort of this friendly community.
The development is 5 minutes from Birmingham City Centre, Priory Hospital and Edgbaston Cricket Ground.
