A former shooting ground has been put on on the market for £1.15 million after its owner is set to retire. 

Hereford and Worcester Shooting Ground, near Redditch and Bromsgrove, is to close at the end of 2024 as Ian Butler retires after owning the site for around 45 years. 

The freehold site, which was established in 1946 as the Westley Richards and William Powell Shooting Ground, is up for sale with John Truslove and has a target price of £1.15 million. 

The venue will be available from January 2025 and has been a long-time favourite for corporate events and hospitality with many getting their first shooting tuition at the site.

Joint managing director at John Truslove, Ben Truslove, said: "This is a major leisure and development opportunity in a convenient location which could be suitable for a number of uses subject to planning permission. 

"Potential uses could include glamping and the site overlooks rolling Worcestershire countryside. It combines an established rural location with easy access to Birmingham's hospitality and leisure facilities. 

"The grounds include a very smart clubhouse with a fully licenced bar and restaurant, reception, showroom and office on the ground floor and a substantial, self-contained apartment on the first floor."

The site is set on a 3.2-acre site approximately 1.5 miles northwest of Redditch town centre.

The apartment has four double bedrooms, a large kitchen, a living room and a bathroom.

The clubhouse and apartment extend to 4,000 sq ft with the grounds including a car park, garden areas, pond and shooting stands. 

The site neighbours Redditch and Bromsgrove and sits on the edge of Birmingham. It is close to Junctions 1 and 2 of the M42 and the national motorway network.
