Informal tender deadline Wednesday 3rd January 2024.



Situation - The Tiled House Barns are located close to the Welsh border, approximately 2 miles off the B4386 Shrewsbury to Montgomery Road. They lie approximately 2.5 miles from the nearest village of Westbury, approximately 7.5 miles from the nearest town of Welshpool and approximately 10 miles from the county town of Shrewsbury. The M54, which provides links onwards to the M5 and M6, is less than half an hour's drive away.

Description - The sale of the Tiled House Barns offers purchasers the rare opportunity to acquire a range of traditional former agricultural buildings, along with a steel framed dutch barn, with potential for a number of alternative uses, subject to planning permission.

The larger barn of stone, brick and timber construction under part-corrugated iron and part-slate roof lies adjacent to a two bay dutch barn. A further red brick barn under a slate roof lies opposite.

The barns are situated in approximately 0.19 acres (0.07 ha).

Pre-Application Advice - The sellers sought pre-application advice from Shropshire council in relation to the potential for residential re-use of the barns. The advice, dated 30th March 2023, concludes "The change of use and a sympathetic conversion of buildings to a single dwelling and an annexe would be acceptable in principle". A copy of the pre-application advice can be requested from the selling agent.

Please be aware, the formation of new dwellings attracts a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) payment, unless an exemption applies (e.g. self-build).

We advise all interested parties to make their own enquiries.
