An Edwardian house in the trendy neighbourhood of Moseley, Birmingham is to be auctioned. The house currently has four floors with several bedsitting rooms, and some of them have kitchenettes and en-suite.
Gurpreet Bassi, chief executive of Bond Wolfe, explained that until recently the property was used as 13 flats and bedsits, although it was considered suitable for redevelopment subject to planning permission.
Mr Bassi said: “This substantial, semi-detached property is likely to attract competitive bidding simply because it is in the very popular suburb of Moseley. Moseley village itself is within a mile away and is well known as one of the city’s trendiest areas, with a strong community of independent businesses, shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. The property stands back from the road behind a driveway and front garden, and was previously used as 13 units.
“As such, it benefits from having fire doors, smoke alarms and emergency lighting, however it is in need of modernisation. A developer may choose to continue its recent use for flats and bedsits, or the property could be developed into various uses if the necessary planning consent is granted.”
Mr Bassi added: “The property is close to Kings Heath, Balsall Heath, Sparkhill, Edgbaston and Birmingham city centre. Public transport links are excellent with frequent buses to Hall Green, Shirley and Solihull, and other direct links to Five Ways and the city centre.”
The current lay-out of 148 Yardley Wood Road has a flat on the lower ground floor which includes a reception room come kitchen, a bedroom and a shower room with toilet.
The ground floor has a communal hall leading to four bedsitting rooms, three with a kitchenette and one of these with its own wet room and toilet, plus a garden flat with reception room come kitchen, bedroom and shower room with toilet. A communal hall on the first floor leads to four bedsitting rooms, each with a kitchenette, plus a communal bathroom and toilets. On the second floor is a communal landing leading to three more bedsitting rooms, two with kitchenettes, plus a communal kitchen area and toilet.
