From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Old Heaton House is a large Georgian architecture property located on Camden Street in the Jewellery Quarter of Birmingham, England.

The property was built in 1823 for William Cotterill, a wealthy local merchant.[1]

The house was originally set in its own landscaped park but as industry grew in Birmingham the grounds were sold off and industrial buildings were built on the parkland.[2]

It is one of only two fine Georgian residences left in the Jewellery Quarter, and after a century of industry around the site, the building was left derelict and in poor condition.[2]

In 2023 the building was renovated by Elevate Property Group.[3]
