Description:

VALUABLE DEVELOPMENT/REFURBISHMENT OPPORTUNITY Attractive Victorian property set within stunning surroundings in the popular village of Blackwell. Of interest to Owner Occupiers or Developers. Victorian Property with modern extension together with further outbuildings and land. Attractive semi-rural/village location. Easily accessible to M42 and wider West Midlands motorway network. Gross site area approx: 12.52 acres / 5.06 hectares.

LOCATION
The property is located close to the centre of the village of Blackwell, to the north of Bromsgrove.
Blackwell is a desirable village with good amenities including a school, village shop and 18 hole golf course. The village is desirable to commuters to Birmingham and lies within a short distance of J1 of the M42 and J4 of the M5 motorways. Bromsgrove town centre is 3 miles to the south.
SITUATION
The former conference centre is situated off Greenhill, a lane linking the villages of Burcot and Blackwell. A long drive leads from the lane up to the property where there is an area of car parking immediately in front of the main building or alternatively a fork to the right leads to further car parking at a higher level with a track which continues on to various outbuildings towards the rear of the site.
The surrounding area is made up of predominantly private housing although there are a number of institutional properties also within the village including a residential care home.
DESCRIPTION
The property comprises a former conference centre together with a range of outbuildings set within 12 acres of picturesque grounds. It has not been occupied for some time and therefore the grounds and buildings are in need of restoration and maintenance. The principal buildings are as follows:
MAIN VICTORIAN HOUSE
This part 2 storey, part 3 storey house formed the main part of the conference centre. Over recent years it has fallen in to disrepair and is therefore in need of comprehensive refurbishment.
REAR EXTENSION
To the rear of the main house is an accommodation block which we understand was added in the 1960's and provides for 25 bedrooms.
SELF CONTAINED PRIVATE FLAT
A single storey 3 bedroom flat with kitchen and sitting room.
DETACHED STAFF BUNGALOW
A single storey bungalow formerly used as staff accommodation.
GATEHOUSE OFFICE
At the front of the main drive there is a single storey gatehouse.
OUTBUILDINGS
Stables/Agricultural Outbuildings
To the rear of the site are a couple of former stables which have more recently been used for storage.
The remaining grounds are either garden/amenity land for the various buildings or have been used as paddocks for grazing. The site slopes quite steeply from North East to South West which affords certain areas of the site with excellent views in a south and westerly direction.
