7 bedroom house

DESCRIPTION The Old Vicarage is a charming Grade II listed family property located within the rural village of Shawbury and within the historic setting of the church of St Mary the Virgin, which dates to the late 12th century. The property offers an exciting opportunity to either complete the refurbishment of this substantial family home or redevelop the property into several residential units (subject to planning consent). Accommodation presently extends to approximately 513.8 square metres, including seven bedrooms and well-proportioned space for family life and entertainment.
The Old Vicarage is approached through large wrought iron double gates and over gravel driveway providing ample off-street parking. The main entrance door with pillared canopy provides access into the entrance hall with doors to the living room, drawing room, dining room and inner hallways. The living and drawing rooms both have the benefit of hardwood floors, feature fireplaces and large sash sliding windows overlooking the generous garden. The dining room is the largest of the reception rooms with feature fireplace and is an ideal space for entertaining guests. The inner hallways provide access into the kitchen with quarry tiled floor, a large laundry room and pantry as well as a downstairs WC. An internal passageway leads to the gardens and to an internal boiler room. A feature staircase provides access onto the first and second floors. The first floor has three double bedrooms, study as well as a family bathroom, additional shower room and WC. On the second floor there are a further three double bedrooms and one single bedroom.
In addition to the accommodation provided in the main house there is an attached annexe providing a kitchen/living area with downstairs cloakroom as well as two bedrooms and family bathroom on the second floor. The annex has a separate access from the public highway on the north side of the property where there is an integral double garage and further off-street parking. On the eastern side a large garden is laid out with patio, vegetable patch and store. The external space offers further development opportunity (subject to planning) within a plot which extends to around half an acre.


REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY The Old Vicarage also offers an excellent option to redevelop the property. An indicative layout has been prepared to show division of accommodation into three separate dwellings; The Old Vicarage, The New Vicarage and Garden Cottage (subject to planning and listed building consent). Full plans are available from the selling agent. The Old Vicarage would provide two reception rooms and three bedrooms split across two floors. The New Vicarage would extend to three reception rooms and four bedrooms across two floors. Garden Cottage would offer one reception room with two bedrooms on the first floor. Further potential to create a single building plot exists within the large garden.

OVERAGE CONDITION The land hatched blue on the site sale plan will be sold subject to a clawback in favour of the vendor for use in residential development or for access in respect of development based on 50% of any uplift in land value within a period of 25 years from the date of completion.

SITUATION The Old Vicarage is located in the centre of the village of Shawbury which has the benefits of a local shop, post office and two public houses. Shawbury is located approximately 8.4 miles north east of Shrewsbury and 11.5 miles north west of Telford.

SCHOOLS There are an excellent range of schools within close proximity in both the state and public sectors. These include St Mary's Church of England Primary School, Shrewsbury High School, Haberdasher's Adams Grammar School and Newport Girls High School Academy.
