We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
The Billiard Room forms part of the prestigious Ferndale House development — an elegant Grade II listed Victorian conversion set within the sought-after Calthorpe Estate in Edgbaston.
Comprising a collection of thoughtfully designed residences, the development perfectly balances historic architecture with modern living.
This particular home is a truly unique townhouse, offering spacious and stylish accommodation arranged over two floors.
At its heart is a beautifully designed open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, creating a seamless and sociable space ideal for both relaxing and entertaining.
The ground floor is further enhanced by a striking hallway, flooded with natural light from a linear ceiling skylight, creating an impressive sense of arrival and openness throughout.
Upstairs, the property offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with its own ensuite.
The two larger bedrooms benefit from feature picture windows, allowing for an abundance of natural light and enhancing the sense of space, complete with electrically controlled blinds.
The interiors are finished to a modern specification, thoughtfully complementing the retained character features of this historic building. The property comes complete with allocated parking space.
Externally, residents of Ferndale House enjoy gated entrance and access to beautifully maintained communal gardens to the rear — a peaceful and established outdoor setting rarely found with properties of this style.
Positioned within the desirable Calthorpe Estate, and within walking distance of Edgbaston Village, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive home within one of Birmingham's most sought-after residential settings.
