2 bed flat to rent

Gem Building, 20 Hockley Hill B18

Discover the perfect blend of history and contemporary style in this brand-new, furnished 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment in the iconic Gem Building, a beautifully restored former diamond cutting and polishing works in the heart of Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter.

Built in 1913 at the peak of Birmingham’s jewellery trade, the Gem Building retains its historic industrial character. The large feature windows, originally designed to flood the workshops with natural light and ventilation for craftsmen, now create bright, airy interiors with a unique heritage charm.

Inside, the apartment features a spacious open-plan living and kitchen area, ideal for modern city living. The high-end kitchen is fully equipped with:

Inbuilt Smeg oven

Separate microwave oven

Integrated dishwasher

Large fridge/freezer

Hotpoint washer/dryer

Both bedrooms are filled with ample natural light and the stylish bathroom completes the apartment, combining contemporary finishes with functional design.

Located in the heart of the Jewellery Quarter, this apartment offers easy access to trendy cafés, bars, independent shops, and transport links. Birmingham City Centre is just a short walk away, making it an ideal home for professionals or small families seeking a combination of heritage charm and modern convenience.

The number one slot for 2026 has been awarded to the Jewellery Quarter by the lifestyle magazine Birmingham Live, based on places to eat and socialise, schools, property prices, community and things to do.

"No longer just a place to buy your engagement ring, this historic neighbourhood is now one of the country’s most desirable places to live. From Michelin star restaurants to quirky museums, listed buildings and cool cocktail bars, it’s just minutes away from the city centre with its own dedicated Midlands Metro tram stop and regular buses. The ongoing transformation of Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter has been boosted by major regeneration projects including the upcoming £125m 400-home plan for St Paul’s Quarter."
