Description

SITUATION
The property is located on the Herefordshire/Worcestershire border in the rural village of Upper Sapey. The village has a Church and Village Hall, and is home to the highly regarded Baiting House Country Inn and the popular Sapey Golf Club.

The villages of Martley and Clifton Upon Teme are located in close proximity, both offering Primary Schools and the popular Chantry High School. Schooling is also available in Bromyard and Tenbury Wells, both of which are about 8 miles distant. A range of public and preparatory schools are available in the area including Hereford Cathedral School, Moor Park, Lucton School, Malvern College, Worcester Kings School and RGS.

Worcester has good M5 motorway links via Junctions 6 & 7 to the north and south of the City and a direct rail service to Birmingham and London Paddington from City Centre Stations or Worcester Parkway.

DESCRIPTION

The current plans offer a build from the locally renowned Border Oak of a three bedroom Cottage Style dwelling. The Cottage is accompanied by consent for a useful timber frame garage/store.

Currently on the site is the original detached period Cottage with adjoining workshop and small range of outbuildings sitting within predominantly lawned gardens and with an adjacent grassland area interspersed with fruit trees. There is also a range of five adjoining aluminium frame greenhouses covering an area of approximately 8800ft2.
