200-year-old farm redeveloped into sustainable homes

The redevelopment of a 200-year-old farm near Worcester to provide seven sustainable luxury homes has been completed.

Three of the four properties at Moseley Farm are already occupied and the remaining four homes are now coming on the market through Worcestershire agents Nicol & Co.

The project has been a labour of love for Chris Partington, managing director of Zebra Architects, in an independent venture with a private business partner.

Matt Nicol, managing director of Nicol & Co, said: “It is amazing to see the transformation that has been affected on a former Georgian rural estate which was in an extremely run down state when first viewed in Autumn 2020.

“From start on site until completion has only taken two years and the results are there to see – a really breath-taking development.”

The completed countryside estate comprises fully refurbished, six-bedroomed farmhouse, parts of which date back to around 1820, and six barn conversions of two, three and four bedrooms.

Now Nicol & Co are able to offer properties including Hazelhurst, a 3-4 bedroom detached home with its own entrance on approximately a quarter of an acre, which is available for £750,000.

Pearwood is a three bedroom detached property priced at £650,000, and the Granary, a three bedroom, semi-detached property with three acres is available for offers over £650,000.

The Dairy, which provides a three bedroom bungalow, is on the market for offers over £550,000.

Nicol added: “It’s situated only ten minutes away from Worcester city, and so brings the benefit of rural living while being close to city centre amenities and national transport links.

“This is the perfect development for those seeking luxury in a rural setting but with attention to both the requirements of a modern lifestyle and issues such as biodiversity, which has been a central feature of this project throughout.”
