This property will be offered for sale by public auction (subject to prior sale, reserve and conditions) at 6:30pm on Tuesday 20th May 2025 at The View, Hill Farm Marina, Stratford Road, Wootton Wawen, Warwickshire, B95 6DE (///glance.dance.rival).

Located just off Widney Road, in Bentley Heath, 6 Slater Road is ideally situated, close to Bentley Heath Infant & Junior School, with a small parade of shops within easy walking distance. The larger shopping centres of Knowle and Dorridge lying within half a mile. Solihull town centre and Birmingham city centre are within easy travelling distance, either by rail from Dorridge or Widney Manor Stations with fast trains to Birmingham (Moor Street and Snow Hill), or south to Warwick Parkway, Banbury and London. The M42 motorway, J 4 and 5 are again within easy driving distance, whilst Birmingham International Airport and the future HS2 travel hub are close by.

Coming onto the open market for the first time in many years, 6 Slater Road, was constructed in the early 1930s and has, over the years, been modernised and upgraded with UPVC sealed unit double glazing, upgraded bathroom, kitchen and ground floor shower room with WC.

Although ready to move into, the property gives great scope for buyers to perhaps upgrade further the kitchen and sanitary fittings and perhaps (STPP if required) extend, (as other neighbouring properties have,) to the rear, or perhaps into the roof space to create further bedroom accommodation?

Early inspection is recommended to fully appreciate the potential of this 3-bedroom, semi-detached property.
