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. The barns are 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.
