Eight-bedroomed detached house in top Birmingham suburb in auction for £695,000

A huge, detached house in one of Birmingham’s top suburbs in need of major works is likely to be one of the star lots in our next auction.

2 Meadow Road in Harborne is an eight-bedroomed residence dating back to the early 1900s that will have a guide price* of £695,000+ in the auction on Thursday 12 September.

Craig Upton, marketing director at Bond Wolfe, explained that the substantial three storey  property had land at the side and rear, giving it plenty of potential for development subject to planning permission. This large, detached house stands back from the road behind a driveway, with gardens to front, rear and side plus a dilapidated external brick building. The ground floor opens into a hallway that leads to three reception rooms, a bathroom with no fittings, a separate toilet with handbasin, a dining kitchen, plus an inner hall leading to a garage and extra basement garage. There is a landing and five bedrooms on the first floor, one with an en suite bathroom with no fittings, and one with a dressing room. There is then a separate bathroom with no fittings, a toilet and a boiler room, again with no fittings.

Up on the second floor is a landing with three bedrooms and a bathroom with no fittings. The property extends to 0.40 acres and is in need of complete renovation or development throughout, subject to obtaining  planning permission.” Mr Upton added that potential bidders interested in viewing the freehold property should bring a torch and wear appropriate clothing and footwear due to its condition.

2 Meadow Road will be among scores of properties appearing in Bond Wolfe’s next auction which is due to start at 8.30am on Thursday 12 September. The auction will be live-streamed via Bond Wolfe’s website with remote bidding by proxy, telephone or internet.
