Cleobury Road, Far Forest, Kidderminster, Worcestershire

Description

The Green Dragon is now to be sold under instructions from Executors to close an estate with the benefit of immediate vacant possession. The property owes its name to a former Victorian Public House which previously occupied the site. This was demolished to make way for the current house which was built by the late owners in 1997. The accommodation comprises:

Location

The property is very well located at the village Far Forest, near Bewdley. Like any good country home, it is just a short trip from the village pub, namely The Plough, which is within 700m, with the village shop opposite. This forever popular village sits in a highly accessible location about 3.5 miles west of the Georgian riverside town of Bewdley. Another nearby and vibrant local town is Cleobury Mortimer which is about 5 miles. In the immediate surrounding area, there are many bridleways offering excellent riding and walking opportunities. This outstandingly beautiful part of North Worcestershire is also dominated by the Wyre Forest National Nature Reserve which spreads out over some 6,000 acres!

The Property

A 3-bedroom detached house, very privately situated in 1.66 acres, together with substantial garaging, and having brilliant possibilities for imaginative extension and adaption to create a real statement home. As Existing - House – 143.5 sq.m (1,545 sq.ft) Triple garaging and stable – 58 sq.m combined (624 sq.ft) TOTAL – 201.5 sq.m (2,168 sq.ft)

Agents Comments

The Green Dragon is already a very nice property eminently capable of immediate occupation. However, it also presents an extraordinary opportunity for re-modeling into something truly special, hand in glove with large grounds also suitable to keep private recreational horses, subject to requisite consents. Similar properties in this price bracket, within this and the surrounding village areas, and with this degree of potential, are few and far between. Therefore, here is a rare opportunity not to be missed.

Planning

The property is sold subject to any development plan, tree preservation order, town planning schedule, resolution or notice which may be, or become to be, in force, and subject to any road widening or improvement schemes, land charges and statutory provisions or bylaws without any obligation on the vendors to specify them. Our comments do not constitute advice and prospective purchasers should make their own independent enquiries.
