A substantial five-bedroom Victorian farmhouse set in a large plot on Earlswood Common, here offered for sale by public auction. The house extends to approximately 3,000 sq ft, retains period details (high ceilings, plasterwork, marble fireplaces and sash windows) and has a large breakfast kitchen with a four-oven Aga — a practical family hub. Grounds include extensive lawned gardens, mature planting and a paved/tarmac parking and turning area for numerous vehicles.
The property sits within easy reach of Birmingham, Solihull and Stratford-upon-Avon, with local rail links (Wood End and Dorridge) and road access to the M42/M40. It would suit a family seeking a character home with generous reception rooms and five bedrooms, or a buyer wanting a countryside home within commuting distance.
Material facts: the house was renovated and extended around the late 1980s/early 1990s but now requires upgrading and renovation of décor and some fittings to bring it to modern standards. Walls are solid brick and assumed to have no built-in insulation; heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators. Broadband speeds are reported as slow. The property is sold Freehold at auction on 21 October 2025; on the fall of the hammer purchasers must sign the auction contract and pay a 10% deposit (minimum £5,000) and associated administration fees. The sale is subject to auction conditions and prior sale/reserve.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a large, character farmhouse with substantial grounds and flexible space. Buyers should budget for refurbishment and possible insulation upgrades, and note the auction sale process and associated timelines for completion (scheduled 28 days after the auction). Early inspection is recommended to assess scope and costs of improvement works.
