Tiny Georgian cottage with historic stories to tell heads to Bond Wolfe auction

A charming Grade II-listed Georgian property with an intriguing past is coming to market in Bond Wolfe’s next auction.

The Housekeeper’s Cottage, on Church Hill in Coleshill near Birmingham, has a guide price* of £159,000+ and will feature in the livestreamed auction on Thursday 11 September.

James Rossiter, senior auction valuer at Bond Wolfe, said:

“This two-bedroom, mid-terraced cottage is full of character and history. Bank House was home to some of Coleshill’s most notable townsfolk, and Housekeeper’s Cottage was built specifically for the bank’s housekeeper.

The main bank building has since been converted into apartments, while the cottage itself has been sympathetically restored, retaining many original features but benefitting from modern updates, including a fitted kitchen and bathroom.”

The property offers a fitted kitchen, reception room and understairs cupboard on the ground floor, with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. Outside, there is a decked rear garden.

Mr Rossiter added:

“The location is superb, within walking distance of Coleshill’s shops, cafés, restaurants, bars and other amenities, making this not only a charming home but also a very practical one.”

The cottage benefits from central heating and stands flush to the pavement, enhancing its traditional Georgian character.

Viewings are available at the following times:

• 3.15 to 3.30pm, Monday 8 September

• 10.45 to 11am, Wednesday 10 September

Offers above the guide price may be considered prior to the auction.

Housekeeper’s Cottage will be among 207 lots in Bond Wolfe’s next auction, which starts at 8.30am on Thursday 11 September.

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