Trio of police stations set for auction
West Midlands Police has put three of its former police stations up for sale in an auction next month.
The properties in Birmingham and the Black Country are all freehold and are considered suitable for a variety of uses subject to planning permission.
A Victorian building that used to be Darlaston Police Station has a guide price of £250,000+.
The three-storey property of approximately 7,717 sq ft has offices and meeting rooms on the ground floor, including the original custody suite.
There are more offices on the first and second floors, storage space in the basement, and a gated rear yard with around 25 secure car parking spaces.
The former Handsworth West Police Station at 61-65 Holyhead Road in Handsworth has a guide price of £500,000+.
This lot is made up of a detached, two-storey 1930s building together with a pair of former semi-detached houses which were recently used as extra offices and are connected on the first floor.
There is car parking at the front and rear, plus garages and storage buildings to the rear of the property, which extends to approximately 6,446 sq ft.
Finally, the former Tettenhall Police Station at 30 High Street Wolverhampton, is guided at £250,000+.
This lot is a two-storey, detached 1970s building containing offices and meeting rooms, with a separate store and garage at the rear, along with useful gated yard for parking.
Ian Tudor, managing director of Bond Wolfe Auctions, said: “I have a longstanding working relationship with West Midlands Police and I am delighted to be instructed on these three cracking opportunities.”
The three properties will all feature in Bond Wolfe Auctions’ next sale on Tuesday 10 September at 10.30am at the regular venue of the Holte Suite at Aston Villa FC.
