For Sale By Public Auction 23 October 2025 A vacant freehold detached bungalow, situated on a large plot, which may be suitable for redevelopment
Property Oracle says ..
The Cottage on College Road presents a unique opportunity for potential buyers or investors. While the property is listed as a bungalow, its current condition requires substantial renovation. The location in Handsworth Wood offers proximity to schools and amenities, but the immediate surroundings are mixed. The low listing price of £25,000 reflects the property’s condition, making it a potentially attractive investment for those willing to undertake the necessary work. However, prospective buyers should carefully assess the full extent of the required renovations and associated costs before making a purchase.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
