Weatheroak Hill, B48

The hamlet of Weatheroak Hill lies midway between the A435 and A44 trunk routes, 2 miles distant from both junction 2 and 3 of the M42 motorway. It also stands 2 miles from the village of Alvechurch which has a population of 5,500, one of the largest villages in rural Worcestershire. However, Weatheroak Hill is located very conveniently for the South Birmingham suburbs with Bromsgrove, Redditch and Solihull all standing equidistant from the pub. The densely populated southern communities of Birmingham such as Kings Norton and Rubery are just a few miles distant.

The Coach & Horses has been in the same family hands for over 50 years and has been extended throughout that period to take what was a traditional 18th century village pub to a large hospitality catering venue. In addition to the 3 interconnecting bars seating approximately 90, there is a large feature restaurant with seating for 80 with its own separate entrance. There is good owners accommodation, extensive grounds with the plot extending to 1.62 acres and planning permission granted for the construction of 12 en suite letting bedrooms. These facilities would be in considerable demand and would achieve high occupancy rates given the strategic position that this property holds. This is a property which must be viewed to be appreciated.
