I was so pleased when I was offered a cottage here. It's so cosy, warm and private. My neighbours are great - we like to chat in the gardens in the summer.

Glover's Trust

For the past 85 years, the close community of cottages at Glover’s has formed an oasis of tranquillity at its secluded spot off Chester Road in Sutton Coldfield.

The cottages were built in 1932 in the Arts and Crafts architectural style inspired by the countryside. They have been lived in and cared for ever since. A recent refurbishment programme has  updated and improved them further, while keeping their special historic character.

Look through the entrance gates of the front building to discover how it opens out with terraces of homes facing landscaped lawns for residents to enjoy.
