Would this be the same as the Small Heath Green Lane ?

It is a Grade 2 listed building called The Chalet
Early C19 cottage ornee in appearance but perhaps older in origin.
Pebbledashed; tile roof. One storey plus attic; three bays, that on the left set back a little and at a slight angle to the rest of the facade. Simple panelled door beneath a bargeboarded and tiled porch. Windows of two or three lights, all with leaded glazing and some beneath tiled canopies and with bargeboards. Bargeboards, too, at eaves level. In the roof, three tiled and gabled dormer windows, all also with leaded glazing and bargeboards.
Inside; the Minton tiles in the hall and late C19 stained glass windows.

That's great, thanks Janice. And I didn't expect The Chalet to still exist, let alone be listed, a bonus !
Have edited thread title.

So it also had/has a barn and an orangery, how lovely.
To me the name 'The Chalet' possibly suggests originally a country residence for weekend/holiday stays, maybe for a family in the city ?

From at least 1872 Arthur Henry Foster a solicitor and his family plus servants lived in The Chalet.
At that time it came under Worcestershire and is harder to trace but 1876 Kelly's has this entry
It is also listed as such in the 1901 census
The 1920 eroll has him having moved just up the road (still in Green Road) to The Moorlands and there is a new family in The Chalet.
