Description
This 60.40 acres (24.44 ha) block of land will be offered in four lots (Lot A: 19.17 acres, Lot B: 14.46 acres, Lot C: 16.78 acres and Lot D: 9.99 acres) for sale by public auction (subject to prior sale, reserve and conditions) at 6:30pm on Tuesday 21st October 2025 at The View, Hill Farm Marina, Stratford Road, Wootton Wawen, Warwickshire, B95 6DE (///glance.dance.rival).
Introduction - Earles have been favoured with instructions to offer for sale by public auction, four parcels of land, having road frontage to Glasshouse Lane, Packwood Road, and Vicarage Road.
The land is conveniently situated to the east of Hockley Heath, but has good road communication to both Solihull and Knowle, whilst a little further afield, (but still within easy driving distance), are the cities of Birmingham and Coventry, with the towns of Warwick and Leamington Spa some 10 miles south-east.
There is easy access to both the M42 (J4 and J5) and M40 (restricted J16) motorways. The local railway station at Dorridge offers fast services to both Birmingham (Snow Hill) and London (Marylebone), whilst the NEC, Birmingham International Railway Station and Airport, together with the future HS2 Hub, are all within easy travelling distance.
More particularly described as follows:
Lot A - 19.17 Acres (7.76 Ha) - A good sized block of old established permanent pasture with a small area of water meadow. The land which has a good frontage to Glasshouse Lane comprises four main enclosures and is bound by well tended hawthorn hedgerows with a number of mature hedgerow trees with long brook frontage.
Lot B - 14.46 Acres (5.85 Ha) - A roughly triangular block of pastureland with gated access off Packwood Road, but also frontage to Grove Lane. Historically ploughed during WWII, the land was reseeded thereafter and is now old established with again well tended hawthorn hedges and hedgerow trees.
Lot C - 16.78 Acres (6.79 Ha) - A useful parcel of water meadows with frontage to both Vicarage Road and Packwood Road. This block of permanent pasture lies in two main enclosures either side of a brook and is eminently suitable for livestock, horse and pony grazing. Hedges are, again, well tended with some hedgerow trees.
Lot D - 9.99 Acres (4.04 Ha) - An elevated single parcel of permanent pasture with access directly off and long frontage to Vicarage Road. Formerly in arable cultivation, the land was laid to a long term ley in 2018 and now lends itself to livestock, horse and pony grazing or recreational use (STPP, if required).
Either individually or combined, the land would be ideal for supplying BNG or entering into Wildlife Conservation Schemes, for which grants and support payments are available. For further details please contact DEFRA (
