A prominent and long-established builder’s merchant site in Solihull has been brought to the market by Bond Wolfe, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial freehold site with future development potential.

Mahoney’s Builders’ Merchants, which has traded from 1020–1022 Old Lode Lane for almost 50 years, is now being offered for sale, with the freehold site available for offers based on £1.25 million.

James Mattin, managing director at Bond Wolfe, said:

“This is a rare opportunity to acquire a significant and well-established site just off the A45 in the Elmdon ward of Solihull.

Mahoney’s is a respected local builders’ merchants that has operated from this location for 48 years, and the time has now come for the owners to pass the baton on.

Extending to around 0.6 acres, the site offers a number of options, whether for continuation of the existing use or for alternative redevelopment, including residential, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission.”

The site backs onto Sheldon Retail Park and comprises a substantial warehouse, sales area and offices extending to approximately 14,282 sq ft, together with a large front car park and additional rear and side yard areas.

The sales area is accessed from the front car park and extends through to the rear of the building, with access to a mezzanine level providing further sales and storage space. First-floor offices include kitchen and toilet facilities as well as a meeting or boardroom.

The surrounding area is predominantly residential and benefits from excellent connectivity. The property is accessed via Hobs Moat Road, directly off the main A45 Coventry Road, with a bus stop located immediately opposite the site. Olton railway station is approximately 1.6 miles to the south-west.

Sheldon Retail Park, located directly behind the property, is home to a number of national occupiers including Morrisons, B&M and M&S. The site lies around seven miles south-east of Birmingham city centre and 12 miles west of Coventry, with Birmingham Airport, the NEC and Birmingham International railway station all approximately one mile away.
