A two bedroom cottage in the ultra-desirable village of Lapworth near Solihull will go under the hammer in Bond Wolfe Auctions’ May auction at Villa Park.

 The white rendered traditional-style freehold property has a reception room, kitchen and bathroom/WC on the ground floor and two bedrooms on the first floor.

 Jonathan Hackett, consultant director at Bond Wolfe Auctions, said: “This is a property with potential in a great location. It has mature gardens and subject to planning permission, may have development opportunities.

 “Lapworth is one of the most popular residential and commuter villages in the West Midlands and home to some of the region’s senior business and sporting figures.

 “The property at 209 Old Warwick Road, Lapworth, needs renovation as well as redevelopment, so there is a real opportunity here for someone with vision and flair.”

 The property is freehold and empty and has a *guide price of £99,000+.

 Bond Wolfe Auctions was launched earlier this year by a team with over 250 years of experience in selling by auction. The first auction on 13 March at Villa Park saw a total of £16.7 million raised from the sale of 103 properties.

* Each property is subject to a reserve price which may be different from the guide price.
