The Gothic on Great Hampton Street - just look at the detail in this wonderful redevelopment!
Work at The Gothic on Great Hampton Street is now well underway. Let's take a look at the attention being given to retain the wonderful original victorian features of this famous Birmingham landmark.
At The Gothic on Great Hampton Street, a Grade II listed building dating back to the late 1870s, there is so much to take in and admire now that internal work on a number of magnificent homes is underway.
During 2020 and 2021, before work commenced and early in Cordia Blackswan's redevelopment of this wonderful building, we had the pleasure of visiting this Victorian Gem to see the treasures that had remained hidden for so long.
The windows of The Gothic - back in 2020/21
Of all the wonderful Gems to admire, both inside and outside, it was The Gothic's amazing windows which, for us, stole the show!
We marvelled at the craftmanship and passion that had gone into the structural shapes of these wonderful windows.

And now - as the windows are going in (May 2022)
In May 2022, we were invited back to take a look at how work was progressing with the redevelopment, and most importantly for us, to see what had been done to those wonderful arched windows.
We have not been disappointed!

What about all that wonderful timber!
It's not just the windows though, take a look at the way much of the exquisite timber has been brought back to life and is on full display.

Here's what it was looking like pre-renovation. What a great job done!

Go see for yourself!
What wonderful talking points they are for anyone fortunate enough to take ownership of one of these wonderful homes,
Cordia Blackswan and the team are doing an absolutely brilliant job with the redevelopment of the building into a number of elegantly styled homes.
