House Or Penthouse In Edgbaston For Million-Pound Budget?

Property-seekers in Edgbaston with a budget of £1million might have to make a difficult decision at Spitfire Homes’ Beaufort development – for that price, they have a choice of purchasing a three-storey detached house or a three-bedroom penthouse.

This site, situated off Norfolk Road and around three miles from Birmingham city centre, combines a restored and converted neo-Classical villa and accompanying coach houses with a collection of 26 new build apartments and nine executive houses. All the homes here share energy-efficient construction and a high specification of premium brands for kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and tiling.

One option here currently on the market for £1million is the ‘Bodington House’, a three-storey, four-bedroom detached home with single integral garage and further parking on the private driveway. On the ground floor, past a cloakroom and useful storage cupboard, at the rear is the spacious open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, which features a breakfast bar, bifold doors to the garden, and a separate utility room with its own sink, storage and door to the outside – perfect for keeping the muddy boots from the main room. To the first floor, where there’s a lounge with Juliet balcony overlooking the rear garden, in addition to a family bathroom and three bedrooms, one of which has an en suite shower room. The top floor is dedicated to the largest bedroom, which comes with dressing area and en suite.

Alternatively, £1million could be spent on the East Penthouse at Claremont House, a low-rise block of contemporary apartments. This third-floor home comes with an extensive indoor layout complemented by a south-facing wraparound private terrace on two sides, accessed by two sets of bifold doors from the generous open-plan kitchen/living/dining room. Two of the three bedrooms come with fitted wardrobes and en suite shower room, and there’s a family bathroom with tub and walk-in shower. This home comes with a private parking space.

Prices at Beaufort currently start at £900,000.
