A rare opportunity to buy two substantial properties in the heart of highly sought-after Midlands village is being marketed by commercial property agency Bromwich Hardy.
The freehold buildings that formerly hosted the Capellas Nursery at 654-656 Kenilworth Road, in Balsall Common, are for sale as a pair at £1 million.
Tom Bromwich, managing partner at Bromwich Hardy, explained how the detached properties on a “generous” combined plot offered “exceptional” commercial or residential opportunities.
Mr Bromwich said: “654-656 Kenilworth Road is ideally situated in the heart of Balsall Common, one of the most desirable and well-connected commuter villages in the West Midlands.
“These properties offer exceptional opportunities either for reinstatement as a day nursery or other educational use, or for redevelopment as residences, subject to planning permission.
“The two buildings sit on a substantial combined plot and offer versatile internal layouts, extensive outdoor space, and excellent frontage along the A452.
“Their premium location combines strong transport connectivity with the charm of greenbelt living, making it highly attractive for both residential and commercial ventures.”
654 Kenilworth Road is known as Fernhill House and is a detached property with traditional architecture and character appeal.
Its spacious accommodation extends to 1,733 sq ft across two floors and includes multiple flexible-use rooms, a fitted kitchen, cloakroom facilities, and direct access to the rear garden.
The property retains its original residential features and lends itself to renovation and redevelopment for continued commercial or residential use, subject to planning permission.
656 Kenilworth Road is also a detached property, extended to provide some 2,131 sq ft of space that is configured to support its former nursery use.
This features a large open-plan space, several classrooms and offices, a fitted kitchen, toilet facilities, and multiple access points to outdoor play areas.
The bright and spacious property is again considered suitable for either continued educational or
healthcare use, or for conversion into a private residence or business premises, subject to planning permission.
The total internal space of both properties is approximately 3,864 sq ft and this sits on a combined 0.25-acre site.
The location on the A452 Kenilworth Road is a key commuter route between Solihull, Coventry and Kenilworth and offers immediate access to M42, M6 and M40 motorways.
Birmingham International Airport is around seven miles away, with the local Berkswell Railway Station about 0.7 miles away.
Balsall Common itself is a large village in the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull with a primary and a secondary school, numerous shops, cafes, bars, restaurants and other facilities.
The village is around five miles north-west of Kenilworth, seven miles west of central Coventry, 7.5 miles east of Solihull and 14 miles south-east of Birmingham.
