Modernisation projects await bidders at Shrewsbury property and land auction
Three country houses requiring extensive modernisation, a lock up shop with two flats and four parcels of land will be going under the hammer on Friday this week.
The eight lots, located across Shropshire and the Welsh borderlands, are included in Halls auctioneers’ latest collective property and land auction at the company’s Shrewsbury headquarters at 3pm.
The lots include New Hall Farm, an imposing six-bedroomed, Grade II Listed, period farmhouse at New Hall Lane, Bronington, near Whitchurch, which has a guide price of £100,000 to £125,000.
Situated within generous gardens which extend to around 0.38 of an acre, the property has great potential for modernisation and improvement to become an impressive family home.
Located on the edge of the Bronington village, the house offers 3,500 square feet of living accommodation, comprising a reception hall, lounge, dining room, laundry room, kitchen/breakfast room, garden room, cloakroom and utility room on the ground floor.
The upper floors have six bedrooms, a dressing room, family bathroom and two loft rooms. In addition to the gardens, there are a number of outbuildings in various states of disrepair.
Having a guide price of £225,000 to £250,000, Stone Cottage, Stanford, Halfway House, near Shrewsbury is described by Halls as “a highly desirable”, mature, detached cottage in need of extensive modernisation and improvement, with potential for extension, subject planning consents.
The house has two reception rooms, downstairs shower room, useful store room and a lean-to on the ground floor and three bedrooms, a bathroom with separate WC upstairs. The house is set in nearly a quarter of an acre of gardens with workshops, garage and parking.
