A 50-acre country estate in North Worcestershire, comprising a charming Georgian farmhouse with outbuildings, pastureland and woodland, is new on the property market with an asking price of £1.4 million.

Rowley Farm, Ockeridge Lane, Holt Heath, near Worcester is situated in one of the county’s most popular and sought after rural locations.

Worcester is just seven miles away and both Tewkesbury and Birmingham are within 27 miles.

Kidderminster agents Halls believe the farm will appeal to a wide range of potential buyers.

This charming farmhouse, which sits proudly within private landscaped gardens, has a wealth of beautiful original features, including exposed timbers, attractive fireplaces and wooden doors.

Spread over three floors, the attractive accommodation has been updated and improved over the years to offer a more contemporary feel.

The ground floor has a living room with a wood burning stove, fitted kitchen diner, dining room with an impressive inglenook fireplace, garden room, spacious utility room, cloakroom and parlour with a staircase to a first floor den, which could be used as an office or games room. From an inner hallway there is access to a useful cellar.

The first floor has a bathroom and three large double bedrooms, including the master bedroom fitted with a range of wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. The second floor has two more inter-connecting bedrooms with exposed timbers and fabulous views.

The gardens comprise extensive lawns with mature shrub and herbaceous borders, a small orchard and pond. There is an abundance of off road parking and access from the gardens directly into the surrounding paddocks.

A private, sweeping driveway leads around Rowley Farm and gives access to the yard and farm buildings which comprise a Dutch barn, two steel framed buildings, an agricultural store, a former cowshed and dairy, stable with hayloft, brick and concrete store, former pigsty, looseboxes and a workshop.

“The outbuildings are particularly useful, however there is potential for conversion to ancillary or annex accommodation, subject to planning consent,” said Roger Sadler from agents Halls, who is handling the sale.

“Rowley Farm enjoys striking views to all sides over the surrounding Severn Valley, stretching towards the Abberley Hills and Worcester.”

The land is situated to the north and west of the farmstead and comprises level, productive pastureland divided into eight enclosures, all well fenced and watered.

There is an attractive area of semi-natural woodland to the north and a pond fed by a stream, over which there are sleeper bridges.
