A parcel of old established permanent grassland which will be offered for sale by public auction, subject to prior sale, reserve and conditions, at 6:30pm on Tuesday 20th September 2022, at The View, Hill Farm Marina, Stratford Road, Wootton Wawen, Warwickshire, B95 6DE.

Introduction - This well situated parcel of old established grassland has access directly off Dark Lane, itself one of a number of quiet country lanes in the area, yet only some 5-6 miles or so south of Birmingham city centre. The roughly triangular shaped parcel of land has good, well established hawthorn hedges to all boundaries, with a number of mature hedgerow trees.

Wythall is within half a mile, Redditch 5 miles and Henley-in-Arden 8 miles. There is easy access to Birmingham city centre via the A435 Hollywood By-Pass through Kings Heath and Moseley, whilst the M42/J3 lies approximately 2 miles south along the A435 dual carriageway.

Small parcels of grazing land in such locations only come onto the open market occasionally and, therefore, the auctioneers commend early inspection.
