The Fieldhouse: Land and house next to Birmingham City's training ground up for sale at auction - photos

The Fieldhouse, on Wasthill Lane in Kings Norton, which may be suitable for development subject to planning permission, will have a guide price* of £595,000+ in the livestreamed auction on Thursday 15 May.

Gurpreet Bassi, chief executive of Bond Wolfe, explained that The Fieldhouse was being sold on behalf of the LPA receiver.

Mr Bassi said: “This property is situated on a plot of approximately 1.83 acres with a garage, gated driveway and gardens outside. The semi-rural location is close to the Blues’ Wast Hills training ground, and is just down the road from the University of Birmingham Observatory, housing the largest optical telescope in the West Midlands.

“We understand The Fieldhouse has permitted development rights, although interested parties must make enquiries to the local planning authority to independently satisfy themselves about the property’s suitability for any use or development proposed.

“Internally, we understand there is an entrance hall, kitchen and dining room, three other reception rooms, a cloakroom, utility room and toilet on the ground floor. There is then a landing and four bedrooms upstairs, one with an ensuite bathroom, with an additional shower room and toilet serving the other bedrooms, plus gas central heating and double glazing.

“However, the auctioneers have not yet inspected the property internally, and therefore the accommodation details need to be confirmed.

“It should also be noted that the property is currently believed to be occupied, and further details are available in the legal pack.” The Fieldhouse will be among scores of lots appearing in Bond Wolfe’s next auction, which is due to start at 8.30am on Thursday 15 May.

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