Welcome to 1 Upper Holland Road — a Victorian home like no other. Set across three spacious storeys and just a short stroll from Sutton Coldfield town centre, this remarkable property has been extended, reimagined, and meticulously finished by a professional architect and interior designer to offer over 2,000 sq. ft. of high-spec, character-rich living space - with the very rare advantage of four private parking spaces to the side. Whether you're an extended family needing extra space, maybe in need of ground floor living or even an investor seeking a turn key Air BnB - Upper Holland is a unique opportunity that absolutely needs to be seen in person!
From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense of quiet grandeur. The front garden has been landscaped for low maintenance, enclosed by a hand-built reinforced wall that offers privacy to the approach. An oak-pillared entrance porch has been added to create a beautiful and welcoming focal point, complete with a vaulted ceiling that frames the doorway perfectly. It’s a space that sets the tone for what lies beyond: thoughtful design, quality materials, and attention to detail at every turn.
Step into the inner lobby and you’ll find a practical utility room tucked neatly away, keeping the noise and clutter of everyday life hidden. There’s also a guest WC and a discreet side courtyard with bin storage - useful details that support day-to-day living without taking away from the beauty of the space. From here, the porch opens directly into the original hallway, where high ceilings, intricate ceiling roses, decorative coving, and bespoke designer radiators bring back the grandeur of the home’s Victorian roots. The entire ground floor has been laid with Amtico flooring, adding both durability and warmth underfoot as you move through each room.
To the front, the lounge is a calming, elegant space with a walk-in bay window and a feature Victorian fireplace. Across the hallway, another reception room offers flexible use — currently styled as a guest suite or fifth bedroom, complete with its own en-suite shower room and access to a private courtyard with gated entrance to the side passage. For those needing ground floor living, working from home, or multigenerational space, it’s a brilliant addition.
As you move towards the rear of the home, the layout opens up into a show-stopping kitchen, dining, and family room that truly sets this property apart. Designed to make the most of its south-facing position, light floods in from a vaulted ceiling with Velux windows. At the centre of the bespoke kitchen is a striking quartz-topped island unit housing a sleek induction hob with pop-up extractor. The space is both highly functional and visually impressive, with fully integrated appliances including a Miele coffee machine, Zanussi oven & microwave & a boiling water tap on demand, and smooth bespoke cabinetry all thoughtfully chosen to reflect both style and purpose.
The kitchen flows naturally into a large dining area, with room for a full-size table to host family dinners and celebrations with ease. Beyond that, the room extends once more into a relaxed family lounge area — a comfortable, informal spot perfect for movie nights, casual catch-ups, or simply enjoying a quiet Sunday morning in comfort. Whether you're entertaining a crowd or enjoying a quiet weekend, this space adapts to every occasion. In fact, French patio doors from this space help bring the outside ‘in’ on those warmer sunny days.
Step through them and you’ll find a private, secure rear garden — a low-maintenance space ideal for barbecues, lounging in the sun, or letting children play freely. A gate to the rear gives access to the four-car driveway, a real luxury in this location where parking is so often limited.
Back inside, the first floor continues the story of generous proportions and clever layout. There are three further double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite facilities and built-in wardrobe storage. The rear bedroom is especially appealing, with French doors opening onto a private terrace — a rare and peaceful outdoor retreat in a home so close to town. On the top floor is the fourth double bedroom, again with its own en-suite, making it a perfect option for older children, guests, or those wanting extra privacy and quiet.
Every space has been styled with care — the colour palettes, lighting choices, and fittings all reflect the confidence and polish of a professionally designed home. It’s a house that blends period charm with contemporary practicality, perfect for families needing flexible space, excellent school catchments, and the comfort of quality that runs deeper than surface level.
From the statement entrance to the sun-filled rear extension, from the versatile layout to the exceptional finish throughout, 1 Upper Holland Road offers something truly special — a characterful home for modern living, right in the heart of Sutton Coldfield.
