AGENTS COMMENTS
The site of Deloraine is now to be sold in three lots, all with immediate vacant possession, under instructions from Executors to close an estate. Please see the Promap for identification, where this lot is outlined in purple. This is an extraordinarily scarce opportunity in a county class location at Chaddesley Corbett; one of the most revered villages in Worcestershire! The entire site has been vacant for many years and the repeated off-market interest has been overwhelming. Thus, now planned for a sale by public auction, this is the only way to decide a fair and transparent conclusion to one of the most exciting sales which we have handled in recent years! Given Chaddesley’s low density nature and that the entire village is in the ‘washed over’ Greenbelt then the scope of what is on offer is surely unrepeatable at this price point.

LOCATION
Woodrow is a small hamlet forming part of Chaddesley Corbett; a verdant, Greenbelt village and unbelievably pretty slice of 'old England'. It lies on the edge of the Wyre Forest District, midway between the regional centres of Kidderminster and Bromsgrove, and is forever well watched by regular commuters by virtue of its swift and simple accessibility to the M5/M42 Midlands motorway network. The Village itself has a range of amenities including three good traditional Pubs.. Other features of this picture postcard village include a General Store, Butchers, Hairdressers, Tea Room, Florist, Sports Club, Petrol Station, Garden Centre, and grand hotel called Brockencote Hall. The centerpiece is a lovely Grade I Listed 11th century church known as St Cassian's. In respect of schooling then the village is also home to Chaddesley Corbett Endowed Primary, and also an additional independent public establishment called Winterfold Primary School. Even to those previously unfamiliar with the village, then just a simple drive through the village High Street will impose its wonderful character and this is within 1 mile of the property itself. All in all, a simply fantastic location and it is easy to see why the area is so revered!

PLANNING
The bungalow was built in 1969 under a detailed consent granted by Kidderminster Rural District Council under application reference KR 390/69. Albeit lawfully built with Planning Permission, the bungalow was never occupied, which raises a technicality in planning law, namely, a dwelling is not a dwelling until it is occupied. Under the auspices of a Chartered Planning Consultant, a Certificate of Lawfulness was therefore applied for to address this nuance. Wyre Forest District Council refused the CoL application under 24/0442/CLP on 27 September 2024. The main basis of the refusal was the view that the building had been ‘abandoned’. Notwithstanding this, it is factual to say that that the consent obtained under KR390/69 did not impose a time limit insofar as setting a date by which the building must commence. It is therefore our view that the existing bungalow has an extant consent. However this is a technical opinion not legally binding, and prospective purchasers should form their own judgements. We give no guarantee whatsoever and in the light of the recent refusal under WF 24/0442/CLP, a new detailed application will be needed.

Details of the application, and the officers report, are available from the agents offices or can be found online by visiting the website of Wyre Forest District Council.

PLEASE NOTE IMPORTANT INFORMATION UNDER THE HEADING OF 'PLANNING'. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves

SERVICES
Service connections are unknown but private drainage will be needed. Potential purchasers should make their own enquiries of the appropriate Statutory Undertakers to ensure the availability of services and the allocated costs for obtaining the same. With specific regard to drainage, please note that compliance with the General Binding Rules has not been verified and prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves.

HEALTH & SAFETY/VIEWINGS
The existing property is in poor condition and suitable for cash purchasers only. Internal photographs can be seen online, but in truth, there will be little to see for a seasoned purchaser, as effectively a re-development site, subject to requisite consents. Depending upon demand we may undertake a set open day, but to be advised. Prospective buyers wishing to walk the grounds should do ONLY IN DAYLIGHT HOURS AND ENTIRELY AT THEIR OWN RISK AND WITH DUE CARE. In our view, it would not be sensible to take children or elderly persons. The ground is un-even and overgrown. Appropriate clothing, and footwear, should also be worn. Those viewing alone are advised to take a fully charged mobile phone. Please can viewers also notify our office of their attendance beforehand on 01299 822060 or email: stourport@phippsandpritchard.co.uk

DIRECTIONS
From Kidderminster, head toward Bromsgrove along the A448 to Mustow Green. At the roundabout, turn left onto the A450 Worcester Road, and continue for around 1.4 miles, then turning right onto Woodrow Lane. Follow for 0.9 of a mile and the property will then be found on your left hand side – what3words: flopping.competing.fairway
