Description
This property presents an exceptional chance for developers and those looking to create a bespoke residence. Encompassing former agricultural buildings with existing planning consent, the opportunity allows for the transformation into a spacious residential home boasting around 2,750 sq ft of living space. Additionally, there is a large garage/workshop that offers versatile use, adding further value with approximately 3,500 sq ft of additional area available. Nestled in expansive gardens with picturesque views of the unspoilt countryside, this project not only promises substantial living accommodations but also impressive outdoor spaces. The property's convenient location between St.Martins and Ellesmere ensures easy access to local amenities as well as larger towns like Oswestry and Shrewsbury. Planning permission has been granted for converting the traditional farm building into a single dwelling along with the repurposing of existing structures for workshop or stabling purposes. Interested buyers can explore full details on the local planning authority's portal using reference 24/04867/FUL.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
54out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £245,000, this is priced well below the local average per square foot, making the acquisition price a clear opportunity. The appeal is the chance to create a substantial rural home from traditional farm buildings, with planning permission stated for a dwelling of around 2,750 sq ft, plus a large garage/workshop and generous grounds. Verify the consent, conditions and site arrangements before proceeding.
This is a heavy conversion project, not a cosmetic refresh: the photographs show agricultural buildings rather than finished living accommodation, and a small lean-to roof has visibly deteriorated or has missing sections. The grounds are overgrown, and the eventual scope and programme will need careful assessment. The low entry price is compelling, but the overall opportunity remains weak on the WHOTS score because the condition is extensive and renovation economics are not established.
Key opportunities
- Convert the traditional farm building into the planned substantial detached home, shaping the proposed living accommodation around the character of the existing structure.
- The stated consent also allows an existing building to be repurposed for workshop or stabling, offering useful additional space alongside the proposed home.
- The proposed garden and domestic parking, together with the generous rural grounds, offer scope to establish a more usable and finished setting.
Key risks
- Agricultural buildings with no completed residential interiors, overgrown grounds and a deteriorated or partly missing lean-to roof make this a heavy conversion programme; allow for a full interior build-out and substantial site work rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- Confirm the planning permission, its conditions and the approved plans, including the proposed domestic parking and site arrangements.
