Nestled along the Herefordshire and Worcestershire border, this property presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Situated just a few miles west of Great Malvern, it benefits from proximity to local village amenities in Cradley, including a shop, doctors' surgery, and community social club. Larger towns such as Malvern and Ledbury are easily accessible, offering extensive shopping options, dining establishments, and cultural attractions like the esteemed Malvern Theatre. Education is also well catered for with nearby private schooling in Malvern and Colwall.
The site encompasses approximately 2.95 acres (11,950 m²) and features two principal structures that offer substantial potential for transformative development. The first building spans around 14,200 ft² (approximately 1,320 m²) and was formerly used as a chicken shed. It has received planning consent for multiple uses: conversion into office space, a motel, and most recently approval to transform it into seven residential units. This presents an advantageous starting point for any investor or developer looking to capitalize on the increasing demand for housing in the area.
The second building has an area of approximately 5,830 ft² (542 m²) and has served various functions over the years including storage for car parts and cider production. While it is not included in the current residential consent, its presence adds further value to the site by offering potential for alternative uses.
Utilities such as mains water, three-phase electricity, and telecommunications are already available at the property, streamlining any future developments.
Planning permissions are notably favorable; prior approval has been granted for converting one commercial building into seven residential dwellings (planning reference: 231899), along with positive engagement from Herefordshire Council regarding proposals to replace existing structures with purpose-built homes. Ongoing discussions are assessing the viability of expanding this project to include up to nine plots total.
This property offers a conditional purchase opportunity subject to planning outcomes—an ideal proposition for those looking to undertake a renovation project or invest in residential developments within this growing region.
