Description

Initially accessed via a five bar metal gate there is a large area of hardstanding for parking. Access to the main field can then either be gained through a five bar vehicular gate or via a pedestrian gate set between wooden pillars and leads to the stabling area which consists of four recently built loose boxes of wooden construction set under a pitched roof in an L shape. Each loose box is approximately 11'10 x 11'5 with a stable door.

Outside of these is a large concrete hardstanding area giving direct access to the field itself which is a lovely, gently sloping grass field which has been used for excellent grazing by the current owner.

In total the ground extends to approximately 5.1 acres enclosed by a hedged and fenced perimeter.

From the field fantastic views are on offer of the surrounding countryside to all 360 degrees. The west aspects faces up to the Malvern Hills where there is excellent riding accessed from the common or local roads that criss-cross the area.

To the east are the fine views over the Severn Valley whist the remaining aspects look over open countryside.

The current owner has had a private water system installed to the site and there is a water tap and self filling troughs of which there are two, one by the roadside hedge and another to the side of the recently constructed three bay field shelter with bays measuring 11'10 x 11'10, one is secured by a metal gate, the other two are currently open but could be sub-divided if required.

This really is a unique opportunity to purchase fabulous equestrian land set in an idyllic setting with excellent riding.
