Summary - COWLEIGH PARK FARM, COWLEIGH PARK, MALVERN, CRADLEY WR13 5HJ
1 bed 1 bath Land
Rare 52.7-acre smallholding with conversion consent and sweeping rural panoramas.
Class Q permission to convert barn into c.3,978 sq ft dwelling (Ref: M/25/00268/GPDQ)
Set on the slopes of the Malvern Hills, Cowleigh Park Farm is a rare 52.67-acre smallholding with long-range views and clear potential for a bespoke countryside home. A substantial steel-framed agricultural barn benefits from Class Q permission (Ref: M/25/00268/GPDQ) to convert into a c.3,978 sq ft dwelling with three reception rooms, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large garage — offering a fast route from agricultural shell to family house or holiday home.
The holding comprises productive apple orchards, three enclosures of permanent pasture, and Mill Coppice ancient woodland, divided by mature hedgerows and serviced by internal tracks. The mix of open grazing and sheltered woodlands creates both amenity value and agricultural utility, suitable for livestock, small-scale commercial orchard use or lifestyle diversification. The site sits partly within the Malvern Hills National Landscape and benefits from excellent mobile coverage despite currently limited broadband speeds.
Practical considerations are straightforward: mains water and fibre are in the process of being connected via a trench along the trackway, but the purchaser is responsible for final service connections and costs. Mill Coppice is protected by a Tree Preservation Order and public rights of way cross the land. The property is offered freehold, for sale as a whole or in lots — Lot 1 (the barn and c.4.78 acres) is ready for conversion under the granted permission; Lot 2 comprises c.47.89 acres of pasture, orchards and woodland.
This is a compelling proposition for buyers seeking a substantial rural holding with conversion consent already in place. It suits a range of buyers: families seeking a permanent countryside residence, equestrian or smallholding owners, or investors looking to develop a high-value rural dwelling. Be aware that services require completion, parts of the site fall within conservation designations, and purchasers should satisfy themselves on boundaries, rights of way and planning enquiries before offer.
