13 and 14, Charlotte Road B3

13 and 14 Charlotte Road are semi-detached villas built around 1845, designed as a symmetrical pair. They are two storeys tall and constructed of red brick, featuring three-storey towers that project from each end. The buildings have stucco dressings, a plinth, and sill bands, with low slate roofs and boxed eaves. The towers have low hipped roofs and chimney stacks made up of three or four narrowly arcaded brick shafts with common cornices, one of which bridges the gap between the two houses.

Each villa has three bays, including the tower. The sash windows are set in stucco architraves with moulded sills on consoles, and the ground floor windows have eared architraves with cornices. The first-floor windows in the towers also feature cornices, with their blocking courses serving as bases for square-framed second-floor windows that have miniature profiled volutes and consoles at the eaves.

The porches are designed with grooved pilasters that partially overlap the towers, and they include entablatures with doubled muted consoles at the cornices and blocking courses. The doors are four-panel with sidelights. Number 13 retains a two-storey screen wall coach house with rubber brick segmental arched doors and a side door. The stucco coping extends from the second-floor sill band of the adjoining tower. Number 13 was the residence of Joseph E Southall, a notable Birmingham artist, and it contains painted doors and other items related to him.
