This is a very special opportunity indeed, in the heart of Far Forest just moments from the village pub and shop, within 150m. 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!
