Lying approximately 3 miles southwest of Birmingham city centre, Edgbaston is one of the most exclusive postcodes outside of London. If Edgbaston or the surrounding area is the place for you, let our conveyancing solicitors in Edgbaston help you with your next property move.
WHAT DOES EDGBASTON HAVE TO OFFER ITS RESIDENTS?
Edgbaston was named in the Domesday book. In the early 1700’s, the land was purchased by one of Birmingham’s most prominent landowners and remained under the control of the Gough-Calthorpe and Gillott families for a number of years. As part of their ownership, they resisted the industrialisation that affected other parts of the city and instead decided to attract wealthy residents. As a result, Edgbaston is full of beautiful Georgian and Victorian villas built along tree lined avenues, especially in the Calthorpe Estate which is an active conservation area, rather than the factories and warehouses which feature heavily in other parts of the city.
The exclusivity of Edgbaston continues with its many sporting connections. Edgbaston is home to Warwickshire County Cricket Club and has also been a world-famous venue for international cricket for over 100 years, hosting the England Cricket team in both one-day international matches and test matches. One of the top three golf courses in Warwickshire is also in Edgbaston and covers a vast area of beautiful parkland. The oldest lawn tennis club is situated in Edgbaston along with an archery society.
From an academic perspective, Edgbaston is home to the University of Birmingham and Birmingham Medical School along with eight of the nine Birmingham based independent schools. The area was the teenage home to J. R. R. Tolkien who is said to have based his stories around Birmingham and the surrounding area.
