A unique residential development opportunity with a mix of new build and barn conversions has arisen in North Shropshire following the planned relocation of a dairy farming business to a greenfield site.

Agents Berrys are inviting offers for the Residential Development Site at Manor Farm which has a prime position in the peaceful village of Lee Brockhurst, 10 miles north of the county town of Shrewsbury.

"This is a rare opportunity to develop a complementary mix of four large new dwellings and five converted barns in a traditional village setting," said Chris Jones, who is handling the sale for Berrys.

"The detailed planning consent has been granted as 'enabling development' to allow the current dairy farming enterprise to be relocated to a greenfield site to the north of the residential village," he said.

Lee Brockhurst is situated off the A49 with easy access to Shrewsbury to the south, Whitchurch to the north and the wider road network with the M54 being easily accessible. The village, which is well maintained, has a traditional feel and a great sense of community.

There are a range of amenities within easy reach including primary and secondary education at Wem and Shrewsbury and a number of highly regarded private educational establishments including Shrewsbury School. Shrewsbury offers a host of shopping, leisure and employment opportunities. The renowned golf course at Hawkstone Park is situated approximately four miles north of Lee Brockhurst.

The site, which extends to approximately 1.35 acres in total, is still being used by the dairy farming enterprise operated by the vendor. The detailed planning consent granted by Shropshire Council is for the conversion of the existing farm buildings into five residential dwellings and erection of four new dwellings.

The traditional barns, which are largely redundant, are within the curtilage of Manor Farmhouse and are therefore Grade II Listed. The two storey buildings are constructed of brick under tiled roofs extending to approximately 10,505sq feet (977sq metres).

Manor Farmhouse, which is Grade II Listed, is not included within the sale, but may be available by separate negotiation, if required.

The new build element will include one five bedroomed house and three four bedroomed houses, while the barns will convert to four four bedroomed dwellings and one two bedroomed home. All residences will have gardens, garaging and parking.

"We are very excited about this development because of its excellent village setting and the quality of the proposed scheme, I am sure we will have a good level of interest from property developers," added Chris.
