A PATCH of greenbelt land in Kidderminster has gone up for sale for £20k.

The 0.8 acres (0.32 ha) of green belt at 13, Valley Close, Kidderminster, is in a semi-rural position close to Habberley Valley Local Nature Reserve.

It is being marketed by The Vault Real Estate, Birmingham.

Sales notes state that there is "scope for a variety of amenity, recreational or agricultural uses (STPP and Green Belt policies)."

They go on to say it is a "rare opportunity to acquire an attractive parcel of greenbelt land extending to approximately 0.32 hectares (0.8 acres) off Valley Close, in the sought-after area of Low Habberley, Kidderminster.

"The land lies within the Birmingham Green Belt and benefits from a pleasant outlook with open, natural surroundings and proximity to Habberley Valley, a designated Local Nature Reserve used for walking and informal recreation.

"The site is broadly regular in shape, with no buildings currently on the land, and is considered to present low environmental risk, with negligible risk from river, coastal, surface water and groundwater flooding, and a low, acceptable risk rating for contaminated land according to the Groundsure Screening report.

"The land is situated just off Valley Close, Low Habberley, within easy reach of Kidderminster town centre and local amenities, while retaining a semi-rural feel.

"Wyre Forest District Council is the local authority and Green Belt policies will apply to any development proposals.

"The surrounding area includes established housing and extensive areas of open countryside and woodland, including Habberley Valley."
