Hi Mark

Yes, agreed it was hard to believe that anyone could want to knock these properities down. It was a great relief to be told that the houses were to be ‘family homes’. We now watching developments and hope that the houses will stay intact.

I can’t believe these charming Victorian buildings could be knocked down by developers as I would love to live in a propery of this nature – if you are lucky to find any as the answer for all these so called developers is to knock everything down and for a bit of profit – ” Shame on you”.
Now, hearing that someone that someone has recently bought them, I hope you do the right thing and keep them as a piece of Acocks Green’s History, loved and admired by all.

Hi Ash

Yes, indeed. Sorry that you have been disappointed, because we know you wanted to buy for a family home. Acocks Green people are just digesting this news which has just been starting to circulate at the end of this week. John Shepherd’s, the auctioneers, have said that the house is going to a ‘building consortium’. There will be a posting on this shortly.

Hi Sam

Let’s hope they don’t do that! We’re working on it. We have been encouraged at the interest out there.

Don’t live in Acocks Green myself but stumbled across these properties completely by accident. They are so beautiful and I would adore to buy one and set about restoring it. Unfortunately the guide price would be about all I would be able to afford, and I would imagine with development someone will be able to pay much more than that. Breaks my heart to think someone will just come along and destroy them
