Description
Rare opportunity to purchase freehold land in a strategic edge-of-settlement location near Kidderminster, ideal for investment or amenity use.
**Tender deadline 12 noon 09/12/2026**
Description
A rare strategic opportunity, the Land at Bewdley Hill extends to approximately 3.45 acres (1.40 hectares).
Enjoying far-reaching views, the property comprises a predominantly level grassland parcel, currently managed for annual hay production. The land is enclosed by well-maintained fencing, mature hedgerows and trees.
The property is classified as Agricultural Land Classification Grade 3b, with freely draining, slightly sandy soils.
A water supply previously served the land and an existing field trough remains in situ, offering the potential for recommissioning. We understand the property benefits from documented rights for water supply, together with rights to lay, use, inspect, repair, replace and maintain drains, sewers and service media over adjoining land. No services are currently connected and purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the availability and cost of connecting utilities.
The property benefits from established vehicular and pedestrian rights of access at all times over the route shown shaded purple, connecting to the public highway.
Located within the Wyre Forest District, the land falls entirely within the Green Belt. While the Local Planning Authority currently benefits from an adopted Local Plan and a demonstrable five-year housing land supply, the property represents a logical extension to Kidderminster, subject to the necessary consents.
The land offers an attractive investment opportunity, whilst also lending itself to amenity, smallholding, equestrian or other uses, subject to any necessary consents.
Situation
The land occupies an attractive edge-of-settlement position on the western side of Kidderminster, with access from The Lea and enjoying far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. The property provides a rare combination of rural character and accessibility.
Kidderminster offers an extensive range of amenities including supermarkets, schools, leisure facilities, healthcare services and a mainline railway station providing connections to Birmingham and Worcester. The nearby Georgian riverside town of Bewdley is renowned for its independent shops, cafés, public houses and the popular Severn Valley Railway.
The property benefits from excellent transport links, with convenient access to major A-roads and the wider Midlands via the M5, while the city of Worcester lies approximately 15 miles to the south and offers all the commercial, retail and cultural facilities expected of a regional city.
Services
The purchaser is responsible for establishing the cost for the connection of the appropriate services/utilities to the property.
Tenure and possession
The site will be sold freehold, with vacant possession given on completion. The Property is registered with Land Registry title number WR80423.
Overage
Unless otherwise negotiated, the vendor intends that the land will be sold subject to an uplift provision which will specify that 30% of any increase in value due to development (as defined in Section 55 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990) will be payable to the Vendors or their successors in title should such development occur within 25 years from the date of completion.
The uplift will be payable upon the implementation of a planning consent or the sale with the benefit of a planning consent. The overage will exclude any
development for agricultural and/or private equestrian use.
Successive grants of permission within the terms set out above would trigger overage. Reasonable costs incurred in obtaining planning permissions can be deducted from the overage calculations.
Sporting, Mineral and Timber Rights
The sporting, mineral and timber rights will be transferred with the freehold title where owned.
Rights of Way, Wayleaves and Easements
The site is sold subject to all Rights of Way, Wayleaves and Easements whether or not they are defined in the marketing material.
VAT
Any price quoted or discussed is exclusive of VAT.
In the event that a sale of the Property, or any part thereof, or any right to it becomes a chargeable supply for the purposes of VAT, such tax will be payable in addition to the sale price and interested parties must factor this in as part of any offer.
