A former special school operated by Birmingham City Council has been listed for sale at auction with a guide price of £1.4 million plus. Skilts School, located on Gorcott Hill in Beoley, near Redditch, will go under the hammer on July 9.
Property Details
The freehold site covers 11.17 acres (4.52 hectares) and includes a detached bungalow. The main building dates back to the late 17th century and features a mix of two- and three-storey accommodation, retaining original architectural characteristics. However, it is not listed and is in poor condition, requiring significant refurbishment, according to Bond Wolfe.
The property also includes a site manager's house, two residential blocks, and a gym block, which may be suitable for various uses or redevelopment subject to planning consent. The site is accessed via a private road included in the sale, with tarmac and gravel parking areas and pathways linking ancillary buildings. A reed bed and sewage treatment works are also included.

The auction will be held by Bond Wolfe on Thursday, July 9, starting at 8:30 am. It will be livestreamed with remote bidding by proxy, telephone, or internet. For more details, visit Bond Wolfe's website, email auctions@bondwolfe.com, or call 0121 312 1212 or 01902 928 510.
