Description

This well-established equestrian center, nestled on roughly 50 acres of picturesque countryside, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Located just on the outskirts of Rowney Green, this property boasts excellent access to major motorways (M5, M6, M42 & M40), making it easily reachable from the Midlands and beyond. With nearby towns like Alvechurch and Redditch providing essential amenities and further urban convenience found in Birmingham, this location is attractive both for personal use and potential business ventures. The main residence is a timber-framed four-bedroom house built in 1985. It offers generous living space, including a fitted kitchen with an Aga and utility room, a spacious sitting room complete with a wood burner, a dining room that opens to the patio area, and a study. The upper level features a master bedroom with an en suite bathroom alongside three additional bedrooms and a family bathroom. Despite its comfortable layout, there is significant potential for modernization or expansion to suit various lifestyles or investment objectives. The equestrian facilities themselves are extensive. The property includes an outdoor arena (20m x 45m), 17 timber-built stables, a large tack room, feed room, and an indoor school (20m x 40m) featuring an Andrew Bowen surface that currently hosts local riding groups. The site accommodates up to 37 horses with additional capabilities for diversification into areas such as holiday let accommodations or event hosting—opportunities that could be explored further with appropriate planning approval. Landscaped paddocks are well-fenced through natural hedges and electric fencing, with the added benefit of a natural stream traversing part of the property. There is also ample parking available for vehicles and horse transporters adjacent to the main yard. Given its longstanding history—over 45 years under current ownership—and established clientele as both a livery and competition center, this site not only supports continued equestrian operations but also welcomes new possibilities for growth. In terms of local offerings, Rowney Green provides essential village amenities while Alvechurch adds further conveniences like primary schools and public transportation options. For recreation lovers, numerous walking trails and cycling routes are accessible right from your doorstep. This property not only combines rural charm with practical benefits but also stands at the crossroads of potential growth in both residential comfort and commercial use—an enticing prospect for those looking to invest in an equestrian lifestyle or other related endeavors in this desirable region.
