A distinctive commercial and residential property in Bearwood is set to go under the hammer next week, presenting an exciting opportunity for investors or owner-occupiers. Located at 95-99 Three Shires Oak Road, this former funeral parlour, previously operated by Roberts & Brain Funeral Directors, is being offered with a guide price of £495,000 by Bond Wolfe.
The freehold building features a combination of commercial and residential spaces across multiple floors. The ground and lower ground floors comprise approximately 7,345 sq ft of commercial area, including a main entrance and waiting room, offices, preparation rooms, storage areas, a spacious workshop and garaging, as well as kitchen and restroom facilities. The lower ground floor is accessible via lift and stairs, with eight smaller rooms and additional storage, all supported by secure visitor and staff parking accessed through a roller shutter and covered driveway.
Above the commercial space are three separate self-contained flats, each with its own entrance from the street frontage. The flats consist of two two-bedroom units and one three-bedroom unit, each featuring a kitchen, lounge, and bathroom. Currently, these flats are being used as storage and office space, and prospective buyers should anticipate some refurbishment to restore their residential function.

Situated in a prominent location just off Bearwood Road and opposite Lightwoods Road, the property benefits from excellent local transport links. Several bus routes serve the area, and Smethwick Galton Bridge station is about a mile away, providing convenient access to wider Birmingham and beyond.
The site spans roughly 0.217 acres, offering potential for a variety of uses, subject to obtaining planning permission. Interested parties are encouraged to consult Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council regarding any redevelopment plans. Bond Wolfe’s commercial auctions director, Ian Tudor, noted that offers over the guide price may be considered ahead of the auction, which will be streamed live on July 9.
