WITCHTHORN PATCHETTS LANE

BEWDLEY WORCESTERSHIRE DY12 2DA

SALE METHOD - The freehold of Witchthorn, Patchetts Lane, Bewdley is to be sold by Public Auction, subject to prior sale, special conditions and reserve, on Tuesday 12 September, 2017 at Hogarths Stone Manor Hotel, Stone, Kidderminster at 6pm. The sale is being handled by the Stourport on Severn office of Phipps & Pritchard with McCartneys LLP on 01299 822060 or Stourport@phippsandpritchard.co.uk

LOCATION - Historic Bewdley is an acutely sought after place to live and with special reason. It takes its name from the French words “Beau Lieu” meaning “Beautiful Place” and has been described as the “most perfect small Georgian town in Worcestershire”. This vibrant town is packed with plentiful amenities including a wealth of restaurants/character public houses and is built on the banks of the River Severn, offering a rich and scenic landscape which draws visitors from far and wide the whole year round!

GARDEN PLOT - About 0.429 of an acre. See plan which is provided for identification purposes only.

AGENTS COMMENTS - One of the most exciting opportunities to hit the market in central Bewdley over the last few years! Here is a particularly infrequent opportunity with 'sky high' potential in a prime location along Patchetts Lane - an exclusive no-through private road hidden away above Dowles Road and commanding exquisite unobstructed and un-obstructable views over the Severn Valley and yet also just a few minutes' walk from Bewdley Town centre and the River Severn!

Witchthorn enjoys an exceedingly deep plot - about 111m or 364ft - and is pretty much central to it lending the opportunity to tailor make your own parking arrangements to the front whilst at the rear the gardens drop right down to Dowles Road - see the plan. The property itself, and the approach, sit on a plateau.

Properties such as this within the heart of Bewdley would be few and far between and, hand in glove with the sumptuous views, we believe that it is an unparalleled chance in this price bracket, perhaps even a once in a lifetime opportunity!

Prospective purchasers will have their own ideas, and clearly there are planning requirements to meet, but in our view a modernist high tech house with full height 'walls of glass' would be absolutely jaw dropping and not too difficult to imagine either!

BOUNDARIES - The purchaser shall be deemed to have full knowledge of all boundaries and neither the vendor nor the vendor's agents will be responsible for defining the boundaries or ownership thereof. The included plan is for identification purposes only.
