Regal in stature and situated on the Calthorpe Estate in Edgbaston. The property has been meticulously maintained over the years and has undergone improvements but preserves many of the original characteristic details of the late Victorian era.
Speaking about the property, a spokeswoman for Fine & Country, said: “Gur Mehar is truly a remarkable property with a rich history and an abundance of potential. One of the most exciting opportunities to come to market in some time.
“This property has previously played host to Royalty including Princess Anne and Princess Margaret, and was the private home of the Lucas Family of Birmingham. Whilst the grandeur of the property is so evident to all from the curb side, it is only once you are inside, the full opulence hits unlike anything you have seen before.”
