Summary - Serpentine Road, Selly Park, Birmingham, B29 B29 7HU
21 bed 8 bath Detached
Large redevelopment plot near university and hospital with strong conversion potential.
Half-acre (0.5 acre) plot with mature, wrap-around gardens
A rare redevelopment site in Selly Park Conservation Area, this detached property sits on a generous 0.5-acre plot with wrap-around grounds and mature trees. The main house currently offers 16 guest rooms alongside an adjoining, newly refurbished 5-bedroom dwelling — together providing 21 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms across about 5,124 sq ft. Its size, location near the University of Birmingham and Queen Elizabeth Hospital, and freehold tenure create strong potential for conversion to high-value housing or apartments (subject to planning).
The setting benefits from low crime, fast broadband and established local amenities, plus a neighbourhood profile showing a high proportion of degree-educated residents — useful for student or professional lets. On-site features include a driveway, gardens and notable period character (Tudor/Victorian elements and sash windows) that could be retained to add premium appeal.
Buyers should be clear-eyed about required work and constraints: the property is offered as a redevelopment opportunity and will need planning consent for conversion. Parts of the site will require refurbishment or reconfiguration despite the adjoining unit being recently updated. The wider area is classified as deprived, which may affect pricing and tenant mix, and council tax details are not provided.
This opportunity suits developers or investors seeking a substantial plot in a prime, well-connected pocket of south Birmingham. Conservation-area status and planning obligations mean a considered approach is needed, but the combination of size, proximity to major institutions and existing character offers significant upside for the right buyer.
