Description
The Ivy Bush presents a rare and versatile redevelopment opportunity in a prime Edgbaston location. This Grade II listed freehold benefits from dual class use (Sui Generis & C3), making it ideal for a wide range of uses, subject to planning and heritage guidance.
The upper floors offer scope for boutique residential apartments, co-living suites, or luxury HMOs, while the ground floor could be reimagined as a destination bar, restaurant, or co-working space (Subject to obtaining the necessary consents). Alternatively, the site is perfectly suited to a mixed-use scheme, blending hospitality, workspace, and high-spec accommodation.
This is a compelling opportunity to transform a historic landmark with:
• Flexible planning potential under Sui Generis & C3 use
• Significant value-add potential through refurbishment or redevelopment
• Strategic location in a high-demand, high-growth corridor
• Eligibility for heritage grants or tax incentives (subject to criteria)
Ideal for developers, hospitality operators, or mixed-use investors seeking a prominent, character-filled asset with long-term upside.
Accommodation
The property comprises a substantial three-storey former public house, offering an approximate total internal footprint of 3,208 sq ft (298 m²). Arranged over ground, first, and second floors, the building features a flexible layout ideal for reconfiguration, with large open-plan areas, original architectural features, and generous ceiling heights throughout.
Set on a 0.074-acre site, the premises benefit from a prominent corner position, with dual access points and potential for rear extension or external amenity space, subject to planning. The expansive footprint, combined with the property’s vertical scale, offers significant scope for subdivision, conversion, or vertical expansion in line with residential, leisure, or mixed-use redevelopment strategies.
Total area: 3,208 sq ft (298 m²).

Buyers Fee
Buyer's Fee of 2% of the Purchase Price, subject to Minimum Fee £3,999 (whichever is greater). All fees inclusive of VAT. T&Cs apply.
Please request Information Pack, Buyer’s Guide & FAQs.
You will be required to enter an “Exclusivity Agreement” with the Seller, granting you, the Buyer, the Exclusive right to purchase the property within the exclusivity period.
Please note the Buyer’s Fee is a non-refundable unconditional Exclusivity Fee in addition to the purchase price payable to the Agent upon offer acceptance. The fee is not subject to a cooling off period and is non-refundable save in accordance with the terms stated in the exclusivity agreement.
Upon offer acceptance you will not be required to exchange contracts, but will be granted an “exclusivity period” in order to exchange and complete on the transaction. This timescale is generally eight weeks, but this will be specified in the Exclusivity Agreement (please note, we may be able to negotiate the timeframe, so please discuss with your opa representative).
This is a flexible and buyer friendly method of purchase. By signing the Exclusivity Agreement and paying the Buyer’s Fee, this secures the transaction and takes the property off the market. By paying your fee, that amount may be considered as part of the chargeable consideration for the property and be included in the calculation for stamp duty land tax liability.
The opa’s “Secure It Now Exclusivity Package” – this is a legally binding agreement between you and the seller. When the offer is accepted, the buyer pays the Exclusivity Fee to the Agent and enters into an “Exclusivity agreement with the Seller”, granting the buyer an exclusivity period, which is usually up to 8 weeks to complete on the purchase of the property. During the exclusivity period, the buyer has the exclusive right to purchase the property, no other offers can be accepted, and during this period the buyer must complete the sale transaction. If the buyer fails to complete in this period, the fee is non-refundable.

• Paying the Exclusivity Fee ensures that the seller takes their property off the market as soon as the sale is agreed and reserves it exclusively for you.
• This prevents the risk of gazumping.
• Helps you avoid losing money and wasting time which most buyers like you may face with the traditional estate agent's approach.
• You get a fixed exclusivity period (approximately 8 weeks) to complete, safe in the knowledge that you will not be gazumped or outbid by another buyer.
