Description

Development Site with Full Planning for 80-Bed Care Home, Edgbaston, Birmingham — Guide Price £3,600,000

A rare 1–2 acre development site in Edgbaston, Birmingham, with full planning permission granted for an 80-bed care home — offered for sale by auction with a guide price of £3,600,000.

The Location

Edgbaston is one of Birmingham's most established and affluent suburbs, prized by healthcare operators for its ageing local demographic and strong private-pay catchment. The site sits within walking distance of University (Birmingham) station, giving fast rail links into Birmingham New Street and the wider West Midlands network — a genuine advantage for staff recruitment and family visitors alike. The surrounding area is well served by Birmingham's Medical Quarter, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, and the University of Birmingham campus, all key demand drivers for care and healthcare-led development.

The Property

This is a development site for sale in Edgbaston extending to approximately [confirm exact acreage — currently indicated as 1–2 acres], with full planning permission granted for an 80-bed care home. The consent removes the principal risk from the scheme, giving an operator or developer a clear route to construction without the delay of an outline application. For investors and care home developers searching for shovel-ready sites for sale in Birmingham, this represents a scheme ready to proceed.

Outside

The site benefits from a self-contained plot suited to purpose-built care accommodation, with scope for landscaped gardens, resident parking, and service access to be incorporated into the scheme design, subject to the approved plans. Full site boundaries and plans are available within the legal pack.

Planning & Development Potential

With full planning permission already granted, this is a genuine care home development opportunity in Birmingham for operators looking to expand bed capacity in a high-demand suburb, or for investors seeking a forward-funding or pre-let opportunity. Edgbaston's combination of established residential character and proximity to major hospitals makes it a location strongly favoured by care providers assessing new sites.
