Large family home in 'great location' next to popular West Midlands park going to auction
A large family home across the road from one of Europe’s largest urban parks in a desirable area of the West Midlands is going to auction.
The three-bedroomed, semi-detached house at 266 Chester Road North in Sutton Coldfield is set to go under the hammer in Bond Wolfe's next livestreamed auction on Thursday September 11, with a guide price of £285,000-plus.
James Rossiter, senior auction valuer at Bond Wolfe, said the attractive guide price reflects the fact that the property needs thorough renovation.
He said: “This vacant freehold property has lots of potential for the new owners to extend and add their own stamp to the property, subject to planning permission.
“The house is in a great location, just opposite the Banners Gate entrance to the 2,400-acre Sutton Park, where there is a popular children’s play area and café.
“It is also only a short distance away from Princess Alice Retail Park, which hosts a large Tesco, M&S food store, Boots, Currys, Pets at Home and several other national retailers.
“The property stands back from the main A452 road behind an extensive driveway with a garage.
“There is a hall, two reception rooms, a kitchen, covered passageway/utility area, toilet and access to the garage downstairs, with a landing, three double bedrooms, and bathroom with separate shower upstairs.
“There are large gardens front and back and the property benefits from double glazing, however it is in need of refurbishment throughout.”
Mr Rossiter said there would be block viewings of the property, with times and dates available from Thursday August 21.
The auction starts at 8.30am on Thursday September 11 and will be livestreamed via Bond Wolfe’s website with remote bidding by proxy, telephone or internet.
