Olton Court has provided Elegant Homes with an exciting opportunity to breathe new life into a 19th century house, showcasing its original grandeur and complementing its historic elegance with contemporary design, layout, functionality and quality.

Located in Solihull’s premier conservation area, amongst a collection of stunning Victorian and Edwardian buildings, the twelve luxury new homes available at Olton Court reflect a skilful mix of converted and newly built apartments surrounded by private landscaped gardens. Each home is unique, ranging from two bedroom apartments with private roof terraces and period features, to a spacious three bedroom apartment with its own private lift access.

Built in 1895, Olton Court was originally a secluded family home surrounded by over twelve acres of fields and woods. In 1903 the house was purchased by the Sisters of Our Lady of Compassion and run as a much respected convent school until 1974 when it was merged with St Peters. The sisters continued to use the house as a retreat until 2007.

Many of the house’s wonderful architectural features have remained untouched over the years and have now become an integral part of its conversion. Wherever possible, the original skirting, doors, dado and picture rails, cornices, windows and wood panelling have been saved and blended with high specification and modern design to create character accommodation fully equipped for today’s lifestyle expectations.

A total of twelve homes are contained within distinctive areas. The original house, renamed Hasluck House, contains seven apartments accessed by a centrally located lift and staircase while the original Coach House offers two individually accessed apartments. The Courtyard is the new build addition to the development and provides two new ground floor homes as well as a large three bedroom apartment accessed by its own private lift and staircase.

Olton Court’s leafy location on St Bernard’s Road is perfectly placed to benefit from all the local shopping, sporting and entertainment facilities of Solihull and Birmingham. The Touchwood shopping destination with John Lewis department store, cafes, bars and restaurants is only a short distance away and commuter links give fast access to London.

By enhancing the integrity and quality of the original building, Elegant Homes has moved Olton Court into the 21st century, preserving its grandeur whilst safeguarding its future for many years to come.
