It is a characterful house, which has been renovated by the owners to include a new contemporary family bathroom, however, further renovation works are still required, including completing the kitchen link extension.
A 2005 planning consent (ref: W/05/02339/PP) was granted and has been implemented by way of creating the footings and allows for an extension of the farmhouse at the rear of the dining room.
A 2006 planning consent (ref: W/06/01612/PP) was granted and implemented to create a large, self-contained one bedroom annexe and a single storey kitchen link extension. The well-presented annexe is build complete and rented out on short lets. The kitchen link, however, has been constructed but has not been fitted out inside and as such offers flexibility in its use.
Outside
There are formal private gardens at the front of the house and a large rear lawned garden with mature trees and shrubs.
Adjacent to the northeastern elevation of the house is a traditional brick coach house. Two large portal-framed barns offer great storage. These outbuildings possibly offer redevelopment potential, subject to obtaining the relevant planning consent.
The Shepherd's hut is rented out on short lets and is available by separate negotiation.
The pasture field extends to about 5.5 acres (2.3 hectares) and has a water supply extending from the house to a water trough. There is a 5-bar gated access from the grounds of the house and a secondary 5-bar gated access off Chadwick Lane. The boundaries are post and wire fencing and mature hedgerows. The land is superb for those with an equestrian, livestock or rare breed interest but also generally offers superb additional private recreation space.
Services
Mains water, electricity, gas and drainage. Mains gas-fired central heating.

(Distances and times approximate)
Skeys Farm is situated in the desirable village of Hartlebury, which offers a post office and general store, a public house, village hall, primary school and a train station with trains to Worcester and Birmingham and onward connections to London. It is also home to Hartlebury Castle, which was the home of the Bishops of Worcester from 855 to 2007 and was purchased by Hartlebury Castle Preservation Trust in 2014, who have opened it up to the public. Nearby is Hartlebury Common, the largest and most important area of heathland remaining in Worcestershire.
Nearby Droitwich Spa is an attractive town with everyday amenities, including a Waitrose and a mainline station, whilst Worcester to the south has all that would be expected of a city-county cricket in the setting of the cathedral and horseracing on the banks of the River Severn.
The county has a selection of private schools, including Winterfold near Chaddesley Corbett, Bromsgrove School, King's School and RGS in Worcester and the Malvern Colleges.
The M5 motorway network is highly accessible at Junction 5, and Birmingham is only 21 miles to the north, with an international airport and several train terminals.
