DESCRIPTION An exciting opportunity has arisen to purchase a former farmhouse with outbuildings set in 53.82 acres (21.79 hectares) of unspoilt and extremely tranquil Shropshire Countryside. This property has the potential to be a fantastic residential smallholding, storage or equestrian facility subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

The former farmhouse and buildings is situated down a private lane which provides excellent access to the buildings and pasture land. The pastureland can also be accessed from the council-maintained highway into what is identified as Field 1.

The former farmhouse is not habitable but has previously had planning permission for the erection of a spacious 3 bedroom dwelling following demolition of the existing (planning ref: 12/03450/FUL). Copy of the consent is available from the Selling Agent. This planning permission was not commenced and therefore any prospective purchasers will need to make their own planning enquiries.

The land extends to approximately 53.82 acres (21.79 hectares) of unspoilt level permanent pasture with three natural pools in a ring fence. The land is classified as Grade 3 land and is within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone. The predominant soil type is Salop, a slowly permeable reddish loam over clay.

The existing modern buildings are set in a compact range with yard area to the front and comprise the following:
Livestock Building - 9.13m x 18.20m
Storage Building - 7.20m x 18.20m
Storage Building with Lean-to - 14.55m x 18.20m

The layout of the land, the private position and the current buildings present an excellent opportunity to create a residential smallholding, equestrian facilities or a private storage yard subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent.

LOCATION & LOCAL AMENITIES This property sits in a tranquil yet accessible location in the dispersed village of Bings Heath which lies approximately 3 miles from the edge of the bustling town of Shrewsbury. Shrewsbury is home to a castle, theatre, numerous museums and a vast range of shops and bars. Named one of England's finest medieval towns, there is always something for everyone.
Less than a mile to the A53, this property benefits from great access links to the wider road network including the M54 only approximately 4 miles away, the A49, A5 and beyond.

RIGHTS AND RESTRICTIONS OVER THE PROPERTY The owner of the adjoining woodland has the benefit of a right of way with or without vehicles, workmen, tools and equipment to pass and repass over the route identified by the grey line for felling and removing timber and for replanting and maintaining the woodland, making good any damage and paying proper compensation for any damage caused.

A footpath passes through the fields numbered 1 and 8 on the attached plan.

The property will be sold subject to and with the benefit of all wayleaves, easements and rights of way whether mentioned in these particulars or not.

The purchaser will not place or cause to be erected any building on the land identified as field number 3 and 5 on the attached plan nor use the same of any part thereof for storage or any other purpose than as grass or cultivated agricultural land until 16th November 2022.

The Property is not to be called "The Woodlands" or any similar name which would cause confusion with the house immediately lying south of the property.

SERVICES The property currently has the benefit of a private water supply via a borehole located adjacent to the former farmhouse. It is understood that mains water is available for connection in the council maintained highway. Mains electricity is currently available at the property. Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries in respect of connection to services.

METHOD OF SALE For sale by Private Treaty.
