Description
No 4 Church Road is part of the Birmingham School for the Deaf and dates from around 1815, making it one of the earliest villas in the Calthorpe Estate, with additions made around 1860. The building is constructed of stucco and features a slate roof. It has two storeys and three bays. The ground floor is rusticated and includes two windows set in shallow round-arched recesses, along with a central porch supported by coupled Roman Doric columns. This porch has a triglyph frieze and a modillion cornice. The first floor has plain sash windows, with the center window altered, all sitting on a moulded stringcourse. The building has glazing bars throughout, a moulded eaves cornice, and a low parapet.
To the left, there is a two-storey full-height service wing from around 1860, which has irregular fenestration, the same stringcourse, and overhanging eaves. To the right, a single-storey link connects to a two-storey former coach house, which features a tripartite window in place of the entrance, a partly gone moulded stringcourse, and a Venetian window on the first floor set within a broken pediment. At the rear of the main house, there are two two-storeyed bow windows above a high basement, along with a continuous cast-iron verandah supported by slim shafts with scroll brackets and openwork girders, topped with an ogee roof. Modern additions are not included in the listing.
