Preston Fields Lane, Preston Bagot, Henley-In-Arden

This parcel of land, known as "Three Corner Meadow", will be offered for sale by public auction (subject to prior sale, reserve and conditions) at 6:30pm on Tuesday 20th May 2025 at The View, Hill Farm Marina, Stratford Road, Wootton Wawen, Warwickshire, B95 6DE (///glance.dance.rival).

This intriguing parcel of old established permanent pasture, tucked away ‘far from the madding crowd’, lies in an idyllic location, well off the beaten track, with access from a ‘green lane’ and is ideal for the horse/pony enthusiast, who could hack both north and south from the land along Preston Fields Lane and other lanes in the area, for many miles, without having to cross a main road.

For the wildlife enthusiast, the land runs down to a fast flowing brook, and it is felt that with little extra work, the whole would provide the enthusiast with a rich diversity of flora and fauna, to provide hours of interest.

Alternatively, the land could be used for say ‘wild camping’ and a family ‘back to nature’ bolt hole, little disturbed by the pace of modern life.

Accessed from the A4189 Henley in Arden to Warwick Road, just through the hamlet of Preston Bagot, it is well-located in the heart of rolling Warwickshire countryside, yet Birmingham, Solihull, Stratford upon Avon, Warwick and Leamington Spa are all within easy driving distance.

Located to the south west corner of the land is a pole barn, approximately 7.7m x 3.4m (25ft 3ins x 11ft), corrugated steel sheet clad under a corrugated steel, monopitch roof, subdivided into an open and closed store with part concrete base. To the side is a livestock loading race and ramp.

Small, handy parcels of land such as this only come to the open market occasionally, and therefore the auctioneers commend early inspection to appreciate all this land has to offer.
