A detached, three bedroom country cottage with paddock in a rural Shropshire location has come on the market with Berrys with a guide price of £275,000.
Halston Farm Cottage at Lea Cross near Shrewsbury extends to 0.95 acres in total including garden, parking and paddock and is being sold with planning consent for a detached double garage.
The property is situated in a rural position with views over surrounding countryside, seven miles from Shrewsbury within two miles of both Pontesbury and Hanwood which have primary schools, shops, public houses and recreational facilities.
Halston Farm Cottage is constructed of brick under a tiled roof and has oil fired central heating.
Accommodation briefly comprises: Front door with glazed porch leading to front hallway with cupboard housing oil boiler, sitting room with exposed ceiling beams, radiators and open fireplace, kitchen with range of fitted units, stainless steel sink and drainer and exposed beamed ceiling. On the first floor are three bedrooms with radiators and a family bathroom with wash hand basin, wc, bath, radiator and airing cupboard.
Outside, to the front and side of the house, lies a garden area comprising of lawn and gravel which is bordered by a brick wall and wood panel fencing. Planning consent exists for the construction of a detached double garage alongside the house and there is a paddock adjacent, extending to 0.8 acres, offering scope for amenity land, orchards or horse/livestock grazing.
“This cottage is in a lovely spot with views of open countryside and the paddock is an additional benefit making it ideal for a family with ponies and pets or someone looking for a bit of land perhaps to grow their own fruit and vegetables,” said Clare Davies who is handling the sale for Berrys at Shrewsbury.
Formerly a farm worker’s dwelling, the planning permission to remove the agricultural occupancy condition to allow the unrestricted occupation of the property was granted by Shropshire Council in May.
“The cottage was no longer needed for agricultural purposes so our planning team was able to help the owners lift the agricultural tie and enable the cottage to be sold on the open market,” Clare added.
Viewing is by appointment only through Berrys at Shrewsbury Business Park, telephone 01743 271697 or email clare.davies@berrybros.com. Full details can be downloaded at www.berrybros.com
