“Inside is a hall with guest cloakroom, a reception room, store and dining kitchen on the ground floor, and three bedrooms plus a shower room with toilet upstairs.

“The property has gas central heating system and double glazing, however it is in need of modernisation.”

The former caretaker’s house is being sold by Bond Wolfe on behalf of Birmingham City Council.

In addition to the purchase price, the purchaser will be required to pay the council's professional fees of £3,600.

Mr Bassi added: “There are external viewings only at this vacant property due to it being boarded up.

“The keys are not available and, upon completion, the purchaser must make their own arrangements to gain access to the property.”

43 Poplar Road will be among 176 lots appearing in Bond Wolfe’s next auction, which is due to start at 8.30am on Thursday 27 March.

The auction will be livestreamed via Bond Wolfe’s website with remote bidding by proxy, telephone or internet.
