Introduction
Smallholdings with residential property, farm buildings, land and woodland only rarely come onto the open market in this area. Church Meadows gives potential purchasers a unique opportunity to acquire a property with all four features, set in idyllic, traditional Worcestershire countryside, quietly situated but within easy driving distance of local centres such as Worcester, Birmingham, Redditch, Alcester and Stratford upon Avon, together with the national motorway network.
The property has been a much-loved family home for many years and offers the purchaser(s) the opportunity to take the property forward, developing it to their own requirements for livestock and perhaps a sustainable lifestyle for the future.?
The auctioneers commend early viewing to fully appreciate the scope of the property.
