Top tips for a Sutton Coldfield Home Buyers Survey
Some properties in Sutton Coldfield have been standing for hundreds of years.
There is a property at 3 Coleshill Street which, despite having a Georgian façade, may well be of medieval origin. Sutton Park has some stone cottages dating back to the early 15th century and properties at 62 and 64 Birmingham Road were constructed around 1530. The property at 68 Birmingham Road was constructed towards the end of the 1500s. The house at 20 High Street was built around 1675.
Peddimore Hall was constructed in 1659 and Moat House was constructed in 1680. Notable buildings that were constructed in the town during the 18th century include the Royal Hotel on High Street, which dates to circa 1750. The 'Three Tuns' public house, also on High Street, dates to the late 18th century although retains the cellars and foundations of an earlier building, n 1836, George Bodington acquired an asylum and sanatorium at Driffold House (now the Empire cinema).
In the 20th century, Sutton Coldfield continued to grow. The areas on the fringes of the district remained rural up until the end of World War I. As witnessed nationally, there was a house construction boom in areas such as Boldmere, Walmley, Erdington and Four Oaks. Again, the population increased rapidly. During World War II, Sutton Park and areas of Walmley were used as prisoner-of-war camps, housing German and Italian prisoners.
Falcon Lodge, a council estate, was built between 1948 and 1956 and there are any number of privately built, post-war, standard construction semi-detached houses in the area.
There are many new build developments such as Walmley Croft, which consists of 3, 4 and 5 bedroom houses, and one-bedroom apartments (off-plan) in King Edward Square.
