Set within the peaceful hamlet of Peplow, this substantial former model farm offers a rare combination of historic character and clear development potential. Full planning permission (Shropshire Council ref 24/00564/FUL) is in place to convert traditional agricultural barns into five dwellings, including spacious 4- and 5-bedroom homes with unusually large gardens and uninterrupted views across North Shropshire farmland.
The principal strengths are scale, setting and consent: a total building area of about 9,685 sq ft on a 1.76-acre plot, original 1874 brickwork and roof trusses, and a secure planning route to residential use and garaging. The site sits in a quiet rural community with very low crime, good road links to the A41/A5 and reasonable access to nearby towns and schools — attractive to retiring buyers seeking space, families wanting countryside living, or developers/investors seeking a permitted conversion.
Buyers should be clear about material drawbacks. The consented scheme requires full conversion and fit-out work to create the new homes; the buildings have been used for storage and will need investment to complete the permitted dwellings. Broadband speeds are very slow and the area registers as relatively deprived, which could affect day-to-day connectivity and some service provision. Council tax banding is unknown. Mobile coverage is average; there is no flood risk.
This opportunity suits a buyer wanting to deliver a sympathetic conversion in a historic, rural setting — whether completing the consented scheme, adapting the layout within the permission, or holding the site as an investment. A video is available to help assess the setting and scale before viewing.
