The northern outskirts of the county town of Shrewsbury and main ‘A’ road networks lie just 3 miles away.
Description - Brook House is a former agricultural smallholding which, whilst presently dilapidated, presents a fantastic opportunity for redevelopment and restoration to its former glory.
The house is a semi-detached, two storey property of brick construction under a tiled roof, with timber framed, single glazed windows. It is approached directly off the council-maintained Broomhall Lane which leads from Bomere Heath to Preston Gubbals, via two single gateways into the yard and buildings area.
Internally, the accommodation currently comprises a reception room, dining room, kitchen, pantry and cloakroom on the ground floor, together with two bedrooms, a bathroom and attic storage on the first floor. There is also a lean-to garage.
The house and buildings lie at the centre of the land holding which comprises five enclosures of permanent grassland which adjoin the village edge and have access off Broomhall Lane and Green Lane.
The property enjoys an attractive rural setting whilst remaining conveniently accessible, making it suitable for a variety of uses including grazing, equestrian, smallholding or amenity purposes, subject to planning where required.
Services - We understand the property previously had a mains water connection which has been disconnected, mains electricity and private drainage. Purchasers must make their own enquiries in relation to the availability of services.

They will however provide whatever assistance they can to ascertain the ownership of the same.
Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (Nvz) - The land is not located within an NVZ.
Planning - The land adjoining the village was promoted under Shropshire Council’s Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) in 2018, where it was considered available, achievable and viable. More recently, the larger parcel to the north of Broomhall Lane has been promoted under the council’s Call for Sites.
The property will be sold subject to any development plan, tree preservation order, town planning schedule, resolution or notice which may be or come to be in force, subject to any road or widening or improvement schemes, land charges and statutory or provisional by-laws, without any obligation on the Vendors to specify them.
Overage Clause - The property will be sold subject to an overage clause of 30% over 30 years, in the event of change of use of the land from agricultural or equestrian use. The clause will be triggered on the earlier of the implementation of a planning permission or sale of the land with the benefit of planning permission.
