Introduction - Flower Knott originally dates from the early 1700s, being a timber framed cottage that has subsequently been refaced in mellow Warwickshire brick, originally ‘2 up 2 down’, but subsequently enlarged with a Victorian extension to the rear, now giving the property two/three bedrooms and intriguing ground floor accommodation.

Well located, some 9 miles south east of Birmingham city centre, 4 miles from Solihull and although quietly situated in rolling, leafy Warwickshire countryside, has easy access onto the M42 (J3 and J4), the M40 (restricted J16) motorways. Local railway stations at Dorridge and The Lakes offer frequent trains to Birmingham (Moor Street & Snow Hill), whilst Birmingham International Airport, the NEC and future HS2 travel hub are all within easy driving distance.

The property is located on a large plot, extending to approximately 0.53 acres (0.21 ha), in generous gardens with brick and tile outbuildings and offers scope for refurbishment, perhaps extension or even from redevelopment of the site (STPP).

The auctioneers commend this opportunity to purchase a property such as Flower Knott, having such great potential.

The property is approached via a pair of wooden gates leading to a gravelled driveway and blue engineering brick path to a
