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.
