Location & Description
This impressive site enjoys a lovely setting on elevated ground in the village of Holly Green about quarter of a mile from the riverside town of Upton upon Severn which boasts a comprehensive range of amenities including a wide variety of shops, two supermarkets, cafes and restaurants, a library, rugby club, Doctors surgery, dentists and pharmacy.
The town is strategically located approximately eight miles from Malvern, ten miles from Worcester and six miles from Tewkesbury. Transport communication are excellent. Junction 1 of the M50 motorway is about three miles distant providing immediate links to the M5 motorway. There are mainline railway stations in Pershore, Worcester and Malvern with direct links to London and The Midlands.
For families with children Upton upon Severn Primary School and Hanley Castle High School are both close at hand.
Upton is an historic town serving a wide rural catchment area with a thriving tourist industry and immediate access to the stunning countryside of the Severn Valley and the nearby Malvern Hills. The town has its own riverside marina and is well known for its summer festivals.
The site itself stands in an elevated cul-de-sac with planning consent for six brand new homes. Two of these have already been completed and are occupied (plots 3 and 5). The construction of these two properties means that most of the groundworks to the development have already been carried out with services and the access road now in place. The selling agents are offering the remaining four plots with permission for a two bedroomed detached bungalow with a floor area of approximately 950 sq.ft (88 sq meters), a detached three bedroomed house with two bathrooms, a double garage and a floor area of approximately 1894 sq.ft (176 sq. meters), a three bedroomed detached house with three bathrooms, a double garage and an impressive floor area of approximately 2691 sq.ft (250 sq. meters) as well a striking five bedroomed detached house with three bathrooms, a double garage and a floor area of approximately 2939 sq. ft (273 sq meters). Each of these homes will have good size gardens.
The bungalow (plot 1) is the subject of a Section 106 payment. However buyers will not be expected to make this payment as the vendors have undertaken to discharge this contribution upon completion of the sale of the site.
