Description

Daywell Manor is a substantial six-bedroom country house, believed to date from around 1666, set within approximately 10.17 acres near Oswestry. The property combines period features with later additions and includes a collection of traditional barns and outbuildings, established gardens and equestrian facilities. A further 9.51 acres may be available by separate negotiation. The house has a reception hall, drawing room, study, garden rooms and dining room, alongside a kitchen and breakfast room, snug, pantry, utility room, shower room and WC. Upstairs are six bedrooms and two bathrooms. Period details described include pitch-pine doors, fireplaces, oak panelling and original flooring. Outside, the grounds include lawns, mature planting, fruit trees, a kitchen garden and a hard tennis court, with pasture divided into paddocks and turnout enclosures. The equestrian facilities are stated to include six stables, tack and feed rooms, stores, a ménage, a Dutch barn, an open-bay barn, a timber-framed barn and loose boxes. The listing notes lapsed planning permission for a barn conversion into two holiday lets. Any future conversion, commercial or other alternative use would require the relevant consents and feasibility checks. The property is marketed by Daniel James Residential, Shropshire.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

57out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

Daywell Manor is a substantial historic home with a distinctive mix of period character, generous reception spaces, around 10 acres of grounds and extensive equestrian and ancillary buildings. The photographed interiors look broadly maintained but retain dated finishes, offering scope for a light cosmetic refresh while preserving features such as the fireplaces and timber details; the established gardens and pasture also appear well cared for.

At £950,000, the asking price works out at about £271 per sq ft, around 2.8% above the local average, so price is a restraint rather than a value-led attraction. The 57/100 D grade reflects that limited price and economics case, despite strong fundamentals and a compelling lifestyle canvas. The lapsed barn-conversion permission may be worth exploring, but any future use would need current planning and building-condition checks.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh dated decorative finishes across several rooms while retaining the period fireplaces, timber details and traditional character.
  • Make use of the generous reception spaces and established gardens, pasture and equestrian areas as a distinctive lifestyle property.
  • Explore the lapsed permission for two holiday lets in an existing barn, subject to current planning feasibility and confirming the building's condition.
