Manor Farm Cottage (Manor Farm Craft Centre) is a substantial mixed‑use rural site extending to about 6.83 acres, currently run as a craft centre with multiple tenants including a busy café and a well‑used equestrian business. The estate generates a reported gross rental income of £142,480 per annum and is offered for sale as a whole, subject to existing leases — an investor can acquire immediate income with scope to increase revenue from underused buildings and additional container storage.
The compact residential element (one bedroom, one bathroom) sits within a larger commercial complex of single‑storey brick and metal buildings arranged around a central yard, with extensive surfaced parking and ancillary outbuildings. Good vehicular access from Wood Lane and proximity to M42 links, local stations and Birmingham/NEC make the site well placed for customers and tenants, while the hamlet setting delivers open countryside views and substantial on‑site parking.
Practical considerations include sale by public auction (completion 28 days after sale), a 10% purchaser deposit and an administration fee on exchange. The sale is subject to all existing tenancies and associated documentation — buyers should review the auction pack and leases carefully. Utilities are understood to be connected to some premises but buyers must verify availability and capacity.
Limitations: broadband speeds are very slow and local recorded crime is above average for the area. The site is being sold as an income‑producing commercial complex with redevelopment potential rather than a straightforward residential purchase; anyone seeking full vacant possession or high‑speed connectivity should factor in remedial costs.
