Land for sale with road frontage in an extremely desirable location

This is a wonderful opportunity for you to own a well-proportioned block of pasture land within the highly sought-after and affluent village of Alvechurch, near Birmingham.

Measuring 2.35 acres, the land pleasantly slopes in a gentle east-to-west direction. It benefits from road frontage and is naturally enclosed to three sides by mature hedgerow and woodland, providing both shade and character to the site.

The land is well-suitable for a variety of recreational and amenity uses, subject to any necessary consents. To the south, you can see the conversion of several agricultural buildings at Cobley Hill Farm.

Superbly located, the land lies just to the east of the extremely desirable village of Alvechurch and its vibrant high street, which offers an excellent range of independent shops, cafés and everyday amenities.

The area is extremely well-connected, with convenient access to the M42 & M5, as well as local train stations providing quick access to Birmingham.

It is no wonder then that property prices here are some of the highest in the county, creating a demand for new housing within the Green Belt.

Access

The land benefits from 38m of road frontage onto Cobley Hill. Full vehicular right of way is provided to the land via a gated entrance to the north, on the corner of Scarfield Hill & Cobley Hill.

Land Designation

No Overage

Method of Sale

The land is offered for sale by private treaty. The freehold is available with vacant possession upon completion.

Land values in this region rose by 5% last year.

Pasture land prices in the region are 20% higher than the national average as land values rose again last year, despite numerous challenges in the local market & global economy. This once again shows the inherent resilience of agricultural land as a tangible asset.

With a wide range of potential uses, agricultural land remains an attractive investment for a diverse range of buyers.

This is supported by that fact that, in the past 5 years, land values have risen by 31%, outperforming the FTSE 100, UK property prices and interest from savings in the bank.

Local Development

There are a number of parcels of land within the local area that have been granted permission for agricultural buildings.

Furthermore, several sites have been granted planning permission to convert these agricultural buildings into dwellings.

Most notable of these is a range of agricultural buildings at Cobley Hill Farm, which have been granted planning permission to demolish and convert into 9 new homes (Planning Ref. 24/00301/FUL). This site is just to the south of the land for sale on the same side of Cobley Hill road and within the Green Belt.

These new homes are much needed within the area after the "Bromsgrove District Local Plan: Draft Development Strategy", published in June 2025, suggests that Alvechurch should contribute towards 500 new homes over two sites.

400 of these new homes are allocated on a site just 0.8 miles from the land for sale on Station Road. However, Alvechurch Parish Council has responded saying that this number is excessive and that the site should only accommodate a maximum of 200 dwellings, thus leaving a potential shortfall of some 200 new homes.
