For sale by auction on Wednesday, 21 Oct 2026 at 10:00

Venue: Livestream Auction

A substantial detached three-storey house with two storey workshop, situated on a private road

An increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial three-storey detached property with a large attached two-storey workshop/store offering scope for enhancement and potential conversion, subject to the necessary consents. The property is offered for sale with no onward chain.

The property is believed to date from the 1860s and was built for William Utting, a former brewer from Lichfield, Staffordshire, who was responsible for constructing a number of the neighbouring properties on Queens Road.

Retaining a wealth of original character, the accommodation is arranged over three floors plus a cellar and provides considerable flexibility. The master bedroom benefits from a south-facing balcony overlooking the private and secluded rear gardens. The gardens also incorporate a detached brick-built garage, wood store and gardener's WC.

Of particular interest is the substantial attached two-storey workshop/store, extending to approximately 30ft in length on each floor. Benefiting from power and light and existing access arrangements, the workshop offers considerable scope for alternative uses or conversion, subject to obtaining any necessary planning permissions and building regulation approvals.
