DESCRIPTION
\"Howney Stile\" is a fine country house set within a glorious rural location between Worcester and Ludlow, each being about 15 miles equi-distant and offering a wealth of shopping and employment opportunities, etc. This fine property has been within the ownership of our vendor/clients for over 30 years and it is easy to see just why, given the truly remarkable and ever changing vista with un-obstructed and un-obstructable elevated panoramic views across to Eardiston and Menith Wood and also taking in the Clee Hills and the renowned Abberley Clock Tower. The property stands well with approximately 11.25 acres comprising formal gardens, a large gated paddock and a substantial block of banked land with mature orchards meeting the river.So frequently sought but so rarely found - What really sets this property apart is the incredibly rare opportunity to provide fully independent un-obtrusive three-generation living given the detached stable block and its prime potential for conversion, which was recently approved in full by Malvern Hills District Council on 30 April, 2014 ; the approved proposal being described as follows:- \"Conversion of existing building to form two bedroom residential dwelling and associated car-park.Albeit, perhaps, obvious, the other alternative would be to sell off the stable plot separately ; this being extremely desirable/saleable, either un-developed or converted and, most crucially, the stable block is also a nice distance away from the main house so as not to be intimidated by it at all and vice-versa.Similar properties, locally, in this price bracket, offering this degree of amenity and further development potential would be incredibly hard to find and as such here is a very special opportunity within an immersive landscape !The accommodation comprises:
