Two former houses for Methodist ministers in Solihull and Rednal, Birmingham to be auctioned - photos
A pair of manses owned by the Methodist church and used by ministers and their families are coming up for sale and set to be auctioned.
The first is a three-bedroomed, detached house at 17 Hazeloak Road in Shirley, Solihull which will have a guide price* of £395,000+ in the livestreamed Bond Wolfe event on Thursday October, 24.
The other is four-bedroomed, semi-detached house at 12 Links Drive, right next to the beautiful Lickey Hills in Rednal, which will have a guide price of £265,000+.
Ian Tudor, commercial auction director at Bond Wolfe, said: “These two properties are in really good condition, which is no surprise given that they have been owned by The Methodist Church’s Birmingham Circuit.
“This means they have been largely used as manses and have therefore been carefully used by Methodist ministers working in the area and their families.”
The Solihull lot is a well-presented home within a popular location which stands behind a driveway and has been extended to the rear.
The vacant freehold property has an entrance hall, lounge, dining room, study, large utility room and toilet downstairs, with a landing, three double bedrooms, a box room and bathroom on the first floor.
There is gas central heating and double glazing throughout, with a garage, driveway parking and large rear garden outside. The address is close to local schools, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, other retail shops and supermarkets, and is just a short drive from Solihull town centre.
The property also benefits from excellent transport links via junction 4 of the M42 motorway and the nearby Shirley railway station.
The Rednal lot is located next to the popular Lickey Hills Country Park and stands behind a driveway with a two-storey extension.
There is a spacious entrance hall, living room, study, kitchen, utility room, toilet and conservatory downstairs, with a landing, four bedrooms, one with an ensuite shower room, a bathroom, toilet and study on the first floor.
The property has gas central heating and double glazing throughout, with a driveway, gardens and garage outside.
Mr Tudor added: “The previous ownership of these properties is likely to make them both popular lots and we are expecting competitive bids on the day.”
The Methodist manses will be among 184 lots appearing in Bond Wolfe’s next auction which is due to start at 8.30am on Thursday 24 October.
The auction will be livestreamed via Bond Wolfe’s website with remote bidding by proxy, telephone or internet.
