A rare block of pasture extending to approximately 13.44 acres (5.44 hectares) in an elevated rural position near Romsley and Halesowen. The ring-fenced, well-established pasture is accessed directly from Fieldhouse Lane via a five-bar gate and benefits from consented equestrian use (planning ref B/12088/1984), making it immediately suitable for grazing, livery or private riding. Mature hedgerows enclose the parcel and there are southerly views towards the Malvern Hills.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. The land lies within the Birmingham Greenbelt and a Surface Water Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ), and is subject to a restrictive covenant preventing development except for non-intensive agricultural or equestrian uses. Grade 3 soils are described as slightly acid loamy and clayey with impeded drainage. A public right of way follows the northern boundary. Purchasers should note services are not connected — any utility provision is the buyer’s responsibility.
This holding suits horse owners, small-scale agricultural enterprises, or buyers seeking a countryside investment with immediate equestrian use. It offers excellent local hacking, nearby National Trust countryside and good transport links to the M5 and rail services, while retaining privacy and expansive rural outlooks. Price: £250,000.
