A 17th century courtyard range of traditional buildings with planning consent for conversion into three substantial dwellings is on the market near Oswestry with Berrys.

The Grade ll listed buildings at Great Fernhill Farm, Gobowen extend to approximately 10,190 sq feet (947 sq metres) and have been given a guide price of £300,000.

The buildings are constructed of brick under slate roofs with timber frames and detailed planning consent has been granted to create a unique residential community of three substantial dwellings with garaging and large private gardens.

Nestled amongst open countryside away from the roads, the three, four bedroomed units will have delightful outlooks with two of the units enjoying views over the adjacent lake.

"Great Fernhill Farm is an excellent position being approximately two miles north east of the historic market town of Oswestry, between the villages of Gobowen and Whittington," says Sarah Reece of Berrys at Shrewsbury.

"The property is situated away from public roads yet is incredibly accessible to the larger towns and cities of Shrewsbury and Chester. Gobowen is a large village with a railway station on the Shrewsbury to Chester line, a range of shops, a doctors, a dentists, a primary school and is the home of the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital," she said.

Great Fernhill Farmhouse is listed therefore the traditional buildings are also listed as they are deemed to be within its curtilage. A Listed Building Consent application has been submitted to Shropshire Council and is currently awaiting determination.

"With planning law often restricting residential development in rural areas, barn conversions are a good opportunity for housing development in the countryside and this courtyard range has the added benefit of being close to the amenities of larger conurbations," she added.
