Large corner plot opposite new station in popular Birmingham suburb heads to auction

A rare chance to acquire a substantial freehold site in the heart of one of Birmingham’s most desirable suburbs is set to attract strong interest at Bond Wolfe’s next auction.

Bond Wolfe, acting on behalf of Birmingham City Council, will offer 1 High Street, Kings Heath, with a guide price of £300,000+ in our live-streamed auction on Thursday 11 September.

The impressive three-storey detached building occupies a 0.37-acre corner plot in a highly prominent position, directly opposite the brand-new Kings Heath Railway Station. The former therapy and healing centre fronts both High Street and Valentine Road, offering excellent redevelopment potential, subject to planning permission.

Gurpreet Bassi, chief executive of Bond Wolfe, said:

“This is an impressive property that offers rare scale and location, with direct access to shops, restaurants and the new Kings Heath Railway Station.

1 High Street is within walking distance of the area’s thriving shops, bars and restaurants, and less than a mile from the sought-after Moseley Village.

The property currently includes extensive accommodation over three floors plus a large cellar, gardens and gated rear parking.

We believe this lot is ideally placed for redevelopment or alternative use, subject to planning permission. Opportunities like this, a large high street site opposite a new station, are exceptionally rare. With Kings Heath set for a boost in connectivity and footfall, we expect strong competition from investors and developers on auction day.”

The building benefits from gas-fired central heating, double glazing, fire safety features and a stair lift, and will be available for viewings on a block booking basis from Thursday 21 August. No offers will be considered prior to or after the auction.

1 High Street is among scores of lots in Bond Wolfe’s next auction, starting at 8.30am on Thursday 11 September.

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