Description

The Doll’s House is a truly exceptional Grade II listed property, perfectly blending the rich industrial heritage of Birmingham’s iconic Jewellery Quarter with the finest in modern living. Originally built in the early 1900s as a traditional jewellery warehouse, this remarkable building played a significant role during the Second World War, manufacturing bullets before falling into dereliction. In 2018, DJH Homes Ltd began a meticulous restoration in partnership with Historic England, breathing new life into the property while carefully preserving its historic character. From the moment you enter, The Doll’s House captivates with its striking architectural details and thoughtful design. The heart of the home is the impressive floating staircase, which opens onto a vast, open-plan kitchen and dining area, perfectly marrying original industrial features with contemporary luxury. Soaring ceilings, exposed brickwork and large steel-framed windows flood the space with natural light, while sleek modern finishes create a truly unique living environment. A bold new secondary structure, set slightly ajar from the main building and connected by a striking glass roof, houses the spacious lounge. This clever design creates a distinct yet harmonious flow between old and new, allowing the property’s rich history to shine through while offering all the comforts of modern living. The seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living is at the core of The Doll’s House. The expansive private outdoor patio, complete with a retractable roof, offers the ultimate space for year-round entertaining. Whether hosting summer gatherings or enjoying cosy winter evenings by the fire, this space transforms to suit every occasion, creating a natural extension of the home. One of the property’s most impressive features is its breathtaking 200-degree views of Birmingham City Centre, offering a striking urban backdrop from multiple vantage points throughout the home. Spread across three to four generously sized bedrooms, the property offers versatile and luxurious accommodation. The stunning master suite is a true sanctuary, featuring dramatic wrap-around glass, an elegant en-suite bathroom and an adjoining fourth bedroom currently used as a lavish walk-in wardrobe. The second bedroom boasts its own en-suite and walk-in cupboard, providing both space and privacy, while the third bedroom, with large front-facing windows, sits conveniently next to the main family bathroom. Throughout the home, industrial design elements have been thoughtfully preserved, with steel-framed windows continuing within the interior to maintain the building’s character. Modern comforts haven’t been overlooked, with air conditioning, traditional gas and electric heating, and two inviting wood-burning fires all working in harmony. Mechanical ventilation ensures optimal air circulation, maintaining a comfortable environment throughout every season. Rare for a city centre location, The Doll’s House offers secure parking for up to five vehicles, thanks to a private electric driveway adjacent to the property. A secluded courtyard provides a peaceful, private entrance, shielded from public access, making this home a true urban retreat. Situated in the heart of the Jewellery Quarter, residents will enjoy the best of Birmingham’s boutique shops, artisan cafés, award-winning restaurants and cultural landmarks, all while retreating to the comfort and privacy of this beautifully restored warehouse. The Doll’s House is more than just a home – it’s a piece of Birmingham’s history, thoughtfully reimagined for modern luxury living.
