A fantastic restoration opportunity has arisen in the north
Shropshire countryside with the sale of the traditional buildings
at Walford College, Baschurch, which are on the market with Berrys
with a guide price of £450,000.
The courtyard range of traditional farm buildings extending to
approximately 11,200sq feet (1,041sq metres) in total is being sold
with detailed planning consent for conversion into five residential
dwellings with garaging and gardens. Additional land adjoining the
development site is also available.
"The proposed conversions will create an interesting development
of dwellings with gardens overlooking Walford Pool and surrounding
countryside," said Chris Jones who is handling the sale for Berrys
at Shrewsbury.
The development is within easy reach of local amenities and
located within close proximity of both Baschurch and Shrewsbury.
The village of Baschurch offers a range of facilities including
primary and secondary education, a post office, village shop,
public houses and doctor's surgery.
The nearby county town of Shrewsbury offers a wide range of
educational, leisure, recreational and employment opportunities.
Local educational establishments include primary education at
Baschurch Church of England Primary School and secondary education
at the Corbett School, Baschurch. Private education is available at
Adcote School and Shrewsbury School. Further education is offered
at the Walford Campus of Walford & North Shropshire
College.
A number of leisure activities lie within easy reach including
Prescott Riding Centre, Welti Tennis Centre and several golf
clubs.
The site comprises a courtyard range of predominantly two storey
grade II listed buildings constructed of brick under a slate roof.
The buildings, which are currently redundant and surplus to the
College's requirements, extend to approximately 11,200sq feet
(1,041sq metres).
Full planning consent has been granted by Shropshire Council for
the renovation and refurbishment of the traditional buildings into
five dwellings with gardens and garaging within the open fronted
cart shed.
"Farm building conversions remain popular in the area as often
they offer an opportunity for residential planning permission to be
granted in what would otherwise be considered as open countryside,"
Chris said.
"These particular buildings have the character and charm of a
period property yet they can be renovated using the latest building
materials and technology to give luxurious and versatile homes that
will be economical to run and kind to the environment," he
added.
