Pratts Lane, Mappleborough Green, Studley

This property will be offered for sale by public auction (subject to prior sale, reserve and conditions) at 6:30pm on Tuesday 24th September 2024 at The View (///glance.dance.rival), Hill Farm Marina, Stratford Road, Wootton Wawen, Warwickshire, B95 6DE.

Introduction - Pine Tops is a substantial detached residence with an impressive internal floor area of over 5,500 sq. ft. It is essentially split into two fully self-contained units, which provides flexible accommodation, and is ideal for multi-family living. Alternatively, we have been advised by planning consultants that an application to redevelop the site for two new dwellings would fall in line with Stratford-on-Avon District Council's planning policy for the area. With a total plot size of some 1.37 acres, the property benefits from a large West-facing garden/paddock area, which formerly had a large manège and general purpose building thereon, together with a good range of outbuildings.

Located on a very popular residential lane in the sought-after village of Mappleborough Green, the property provides the perfect blend of rural living with the ease of access to main road and motorway networks, with the nearby A435, giving, in turn, links to the M5, M40 and M42 motorways. The village has a number of facilities to include; 'The Boot Inn' public house, well regarded primary school, several garden centres, and a Chinese restaurant. There is also a local bus service (512) that runs from Redditch to Stratford-upon-Avon (and vice versa). In addition, the property is conveniently placed for the wide range of amenities on offer in Redditch, Studley and Alcester slightly further afield.

This property is set back from the road, having two access points, each with a pair of wrought iron electric gates that lead onto two separate tarmacadam driveway areas, which provide parking for multiple vehicles.
