INTRODUCTION
Far Croft is a substantial detached Edwardian property, privately located within 1.80 acres (0.73 ha) of landscaped gardens and grounds (further land may be available to purchase upon request).

The NEC, Birmingham International Airport (BHX) and Railway Station, future HS2 travel hub, the M42 and M40 motorway links are all within very easy reach.

Agent's Note
The guide price offers an indication of the price below which the vendor is not willing to sell. It is not necessarily the exact final sale price and is subject to change prior to and up until the day of the auction. Any change in the guide price will reflect a change in the reserve (a figure below which the auctioneer will not be able to sell). The reserve can be expected to be set within the guide range or not more than 10% above a single figure guide (RICS Common Auction Conditions 7th Edition).
