Overview

A useful parcel of permanent pasture located on the south side of Dark Lane, on the edge of the village, which will be offered for sale by public auction (subject to prior sale, reserve and conditions), at 6.30 pm on Tuesday 13th July 2021 at The View, Hill Farm Marina, Stratford Road, Wootton Wawen, B95 6DE.

Introduction

Very well located adjoining the western edge of Astwood Bank, this convenient block of old established permanent pasture has good, long road frontage to Dark Lane and is easily accessible from, not only the village of Astwood Bank, but the near by towns of Redditch and Alcester together with adjoining villages.

Sub-divided internally by post and wire fencing, the land is undulating with trees and a small ‘dell’ towards the North West boundary (perhaps a former marl pit,) which could be further enhanced for wildlife uses, or otherwise it is eminently suitable for livestock grazing, equestrian or other recreational use (STPP if required).

Bounded by mature hawthorn hedging with some hedgerow trees, the land adjoins a residential property located on Hill Meadow View and has far reaching views to both the Malvern and Cotswold Hills.

Small parcels of grazing land such as this only rarely come onto the open market in this area and, therefore, the auctioneers commend early inspection.

Agent's Note
The guide price offers an indication of the price below which the vendor is not willing to sell. It is not necessarily the exact final sale price, and is subject to change prior to and up until the day of the auction. Any change in the guide price will reflect a change in the reserve (a figure below which the auctioneer will not be able to sell). The reserve can be expected to be set within the guide range or not more than 10% above a single figure guide. (RICS Common Auction Conditions 7th Edition).
