Secret recording studio is the surprise feature of Oldbury auction property

An unusual Oldbury property combining substantial commercial space, residential accommodation and its own recording studio is set to feature in our next auction on Thursday 22 October.

From the outside, 123-125 Popes Lane may appear to be a conventional commercial property, but step inside and buyers will discover a recording studio complete with its own vocal booth.

The ground floor provides a hallway, large storage area, store room, reception room and toilets alongside the recording facilities.

Upstairs, the property includes living accommodation comprising two bedrooms, one with a shower, together with a utility room, living room, kitchen, bathroom and additional storage space behind the kitchen.

Simon Senior, Senior Auction Valuer at Bond Wolfe, said:

“To say this is an unusual lot doesn’t really do it justice. From the roadside, there is no indication that inside is a recording studio where a budding Ed Sheeran or Adele could potentially lay down their next hit.

“Beyond the recording facilities, there is a considerable amount of accommodation across the property, combining commercial space on the ground floor with living accommodation above.

“It is certainly one of the more unusual properties in our October catalogue and may also offer potential for development or alternative uses, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions.”

The property stands flush to the pavement on Popes Lane and is conveniently positioned for access to Oldbury and the wider Black Country.

Junction 2 of the M5 is within easy reach, providing connections across the West Midlands and national motorway network, while Langley Green railway station and Oldbury town centre are also nearby.

Rood End Primary School is within the surrounding area.

123-125 Popes Lane is among the lots due to appear in our next auction, which starts at 8.30am on Thursday 22 October.

The auction will be live-streamed via our website, with remote bidding available by proxy, telephone or internet.
