Large detached house in exclusive Birmingham suburb at auction

Large detached house to be sold at auction. 12 Hamilton Avenue in Harborne will have a guide price* of £695,000+ at the auction on Thursday 27 February, which will feature a record 215 lots.

Although the freehold property would be suitable for a growing family, it could also be suitable for development subject to planning permission.

It lies in an attractive residential location opposite Lightwoods Park, is close to popular schools and pleasant shops in Harborne and Edgbaston, and is within three miles of the University of Birmingham and Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

Jonathan Hackett, a consultant at Bond Wolfe Auctions, said: “This is an excellent property in what many families would consider to be a perfect location.

“It’s located close to Edgbaston and Harborne Golf Clubs, Edgbaston Priory Tennis and Squash Club, Edgbaston Reservoir Sailing Club and the Edgbaston Cricket Ground, and is within the catchment area of many highly reputable schools.”

Standing back from the road behind an in-and-out driveway with a side garage and gardens, the property has a porch, reception hall with cloakroom, two reception rooms, a breakfast kitchen and side utility room.

The bedrooms upstairs include a master with ensuite bathroom as well as a separate family bathroom, and there is gas central heating system and double-glazing on the majority of the windows.

Mr Hackett added: “The property’s size and large gardens means the right buyer might seek planning permission for an exclusive residential development.”

The auction on Thursday 27 February will start at the earlier time of 10am, in order to cater for the record number of lots to be offered on the day.
