HISTORY OF HOPE STREET, B5 The Hope Street is just off Sherlock Street, where Matthew Boulton College was previously located, and has a fascinating history.
Early Industrial Era (18th-19th centuries)
The area around Sherlock Street was once a hub of industrial activity, with numerous factories, workshops, and warehouses. The street itself was named after a local industrialist family, the Sherlocks.
Technical School Era (1895-1960s)
In 1895, the Birmingham Municipal Technical School was built on the Sherlock Street site. The school provided technical education to support the city's growing industries. Over the years, the school expanded and developed, introducing new courses and programs.
Matthew Boulton College Era (1960s-2005)
In 1960, the school was renamed Matthew Boulton College in honor of the 18th-century industrialist and entrepreneur Matthew Boulton. The college continued to grow and develop, becoming a leading provider of further and higher education in the region.
Redevelopment and Demolition (2005-2008)
In 2005, Matthew Boulton College relocated to a new campus on Jennens Road. The old Sherlock Street buildings were demolished in 2008 to make way for a new residential development.
Current Status
Today, the Sherlock Street site is home to a modern residential complex, with apartments and townhouses. While the original college buildings are gone, the site remains an important part of Birmingham's industrial and educational heritage.

ENTRANCE HALL 12' 6" x 4' 1" (3.823m x 1.248m) Entering into the three storey home, you are greeted by a bright, long hallway that gives access to the kitchen-diner, study room, downstairs w/c and storage room. The hallway has white walls to match each door, but nicely contrasts the light ash wooden-effect flooring. Also consisting of spotlights, white panel switches, plug sockets and smoke alarm which is fairly centre to the property.
KITCHEN 9' 7" x 8' 5" (2.926m x 2.569m) The kitchen is built on the idea of convenience and simplicity, whilst giving every bit of space a specific purpose. The wraparound kitchen counters are a nice touch that doubles as a breakfast bar, creating a distinct split from kitchen to the dining area. The light teal tiles create a breezy yet homely feel, which pairs well with the white cupboard units.
The kitchen is also packed with top of the range appliances to make sure the homeowner never wants or needs for anything:
- The Electrolux fridge-freezer, washer-dryer and dishwasher are all built-in, giving a sleek hidden feel.
- The Zanussi hob and AEG oven are a powerful team, ensuring all your cooking requirements can be met.
- Also consisting of ceiling and countertop spotlights, plug sockets, extractor hood and stainless steel sink.
DINING ROOM 12' 10" x 12' 10" (3.934m x 3.921m) The dining area follows the well-thought out theme of contrasting colours: A darker, yet so vibrant green gives a relaxing feeling next to the white walls and ash wooden effect flooring.
There is a large burst of space that will allow for all types of dining arrangements. A long-spanning dining table for larger events? Not a problem! Smaller roundtable so you can utilise the breakfast bar and the floorspace how you see fit? Great idea! This room is finished with spotlights, a wide, single panel radiator and plug sockets throughout.
STUDY 9' 1" x 6' 1" (2.785m x 1.855m) The study room has a colour palette that matches. The darker grey walls with spruce coloured blinds allow you sink into your work or your hobby with no distractions. Thick carpets will ensure you hone your craft in comfort. Facing the front of the property, this rooms would also be useful as a sitting or play room.
Plug sockets are found throughout the room, and is nicely finished with warm pendant lighting.
DOWNSTAIRS W/C 5' 5" x 2' 11" (1.670m x 0.891m) The ground floor lavatory simply consists of white ceramic toilet and sink that are Geberit branded. The silver/chrome Bristan taps match well with the grey half-level tiles.
LIVING ROOM 12' 6" x 11' 7" (3.829m x 3.544m) In the elevated living room, you are met with a tranquilising, sage green feature walls the external wall, and the wall that would traditionally be used for the television unit. Feel at ease and in peace while lounging at home. Shut away the world after a long day, by using the venetian blinds that follow from the study room.
The lounge rooms has a section behind the door that is deeper, which would be nice for a bookshelf that meets flush with the wall, creating a built-in and purposeful feel.
ENSUITE 6' 11" x 4' 9" (2.124m x 1.450m) The ensuite room has a medicine cabinet that double as a two-panelled mirror. Compact but effective, as you have access to a step in shower unit and ceramic Geberit toilet and sink that follows from the downstairs W/C. Light tiles create the bright, airy feel you would want in an ensuite.
1ST BEDROOM 12' 3" x 11' 5" (3.755m x 3.502m) Across the landing from the living room, access the first bedroom. This is the largest of the three, and has a tasteful ensuite bathroom for your convenience. This room follows a conventional shape, which will allow you to be creative with how you dress the room. Where to put the bed, your dresser, your wardrobe? These are questions you can take control of in your own home.
2ND BEDROOM 12' 7" x 6' 10" (3.840m x 2.097m) On the top floor, there is the second bedroom that could double as a walk in dressing room. Consisting of a built-in wardrobe as you enter, and a view leading straight to the rear of the property. An ceiling that curves down to become the fourth wall is unique modern touch.
Comprising of thick carpets, plug sockets surrounding the room, light switches and pendant lighting.
3RD BEDROOM 12' 9" x 10' 7" (3.911m x 3.236m) Last, but certainly not least is the third bedroom, located on the top floor. This room has another feature wall that angels and joins to the ceiling, a thoughtful, artistic touch that is painted in a solid, beige/coffee colour for a touch of class. Next to the deep, built in wardrobe is a space for a work desk that would not interrupt the flow of the room. Completed with a Keylite window (1140mm x 1180mm) that swings open in a statement fashion, single panel radiator, switches and pendant light fixture.
TOP FLOOR BATHROOM 6' 4" x 5' 6" (1.948m x 1.693m) The top floor bathroom is everything. A combination of a bath and shower fixture meets the Geberit sink and toilet. Once again a medicine cabinet with mirrors, finalised by your standard wood effect flooring and white walls.
GARDEN 25' 8" x 12' 11" (7.842m x 3.951m) The garden houses two light-brown sheds for maximised space, but affords a green space next the textured slab walkway to the gate.
This breath-taking garden, with such close proximity to the City Centre, really does speak for itself.
