Huge but dilapidated house in Birmingham suburb at auction

An eight-bedroomed mansion spread across three floors in the highly sought-after Birmingham suburb of Harborne is one of the star lots in Bond Wolfe’s next auction on Thursday 19 May.

The huge freehold property at 2 Meadow Road sits on around 0.4 acres of land and will have an auction guide price* of £795,000+.

The detached house will need complete renovation throughout or could become a major redevelopment project, subject to planning permission.

Jonathan Hackett, a consultant director at Bond Wolfe, said: “This substantial house in such a prime area is a very exciting lot to have at our auction and we are expecting keen interest from bidders.

“With eight bedrooms, the property might suit a landlord looking to invest and extend their portfolio, but with all that extra land to the side and rear it may also have redevelopment potential, subject to planning permission.”

The detached property stands from the road behind a driveway and front garden, with more gardens and a dilapidated brick building to the side and rear.

On the ground floor, there is an entrance porch, reception hallway, three reception rooms, a bathroom with no fittings, a separate toilet with basin, a dining kitchen, and an inner hall leading to a garage and basement.

Upstairs is a large landing, and five bedrooms – one with an ensuite but with no fittings, and another with a dressing room.

There is also a separate bathroom, again with no fittings, a study, a toilet and a boiler room, and no fittings, while the second floor has three more bedrooms and another bathroom with no fittings.

The Birmingham suburb Harborne house is just one of 161 lots that will appear in Bond Wolfe’s next auction which starts at 9 am on Thursday 19 May. The auction will be live-streamed via Bond Wolfe’s website with remote bidding by proxy, telephone or internet.
