Prime Location in Affluent Suburb
The land in question is a thin strip measuring approximately 692 square metres, situated at the back of residential properties and gardens. It is accessed between numbers 65 and 67 on Four Oaks Common Road, a street where home values have soared in recent years, ranging from £300,000 to over £500,000.
Gurpreet Bassi, chief executive of Bond Wolfe, the agency handling the sale, emphasized the plot's desirable location. "Sutton Coldfield is one of the prime residential areas in Birmingham," he stated. "This interesting lot of land is expected to prompt lots of competitive bidding."
