High living in the countryside and super fast surfing are on
offer in Shropshire with the sale of Mere Bank Barns, Baschurch, a
residential development opportunity on the market with Berrys for
£395,000.
This courtyard range of farm buildings is situated in open
countryside to the north east of the popular village of Baschurch
which is soon to have BT's super-fast Infinity Broadband service.
It is being sold with detailed planning consent for conversion into
three detached, four bedroomed residential homes with garaging,
parking and large gardens. Further land is available, if
required, by separate negotiation.
"The site extends to approximately 9,854sq feet (915sq metres)
and the proposed conversion scheme will create an attractive
development in a quiet rural location with extensive views," said
Sarah Reece, who is handling the sale for Berrys at Shrewsbury.
"As an added feature, one of the buildings, Unit 3, is grade II
listed and contains a cruck frame and a brick water tower which
will create a four storey conversion. Listed Building Consent has
been granted for the proposed works."
The dwellings adjoin a cobbled yard area and will have the
benefit of a large garden enclosed by a sandstone wall. The
buildings are currently redundant and are constructed of sandstone
and brick beneath tiled roofs.
"Converting a farm building is one of the few ways of enabling
residential development in the countryside and these buildings are
in an ideal position, being on the outskirts of the village of
Baschurch with its many facilities including shops, schools, public
house and doctor's surgery," said Sarah.
In addition to the existing village amenities, Baschurch is one
of six communities in the country to have won a national
competition and will be receiving BT's super-fast Infinity
Broadband service with speeds up to 40Mbps in early 2012.
For those looking for leisure activities, Prescott Riding Centre
is just up the road and Shropshire Aero Club, Welti Tennis Centre
and various golf clubs are within easy reach.
