Location Gough Road occupies a distinguished position within one of Edgbaston's most historic residential streets. Named after the Gough family, whose estate shaped the development of much of Edgbaston, the road formed part of the area's transformation during the early nineteenth century into a carefully planned suburb for Birmingham's prosperous professional and mercantile families.

The property stands within the best-preserved western section of Gough Road, noted for its impressive early-Victorian villas, mature gardens and strong architectural character. Dating from around 1850 and Grade II listed, this specific property is an important example of the classical villa architecture that defines this sought-after part of Edgbaston, with its elegant proportions, Ionic entrance porch and period detailing.

The surrounding streets retain a sense of the spacious, leafy environment envisaged by the historic Calthorpe Estate, while offering convenient access to Edgbaston Village, Birmingham city centre, leading schools, universities, medical institutions and transport connections.
