Description

Situation: This unique site, suitable for self-builders and developer alike, benefits from some existing services, its own access track, a level site for the erection of a detached dwelling and garage and an adjacent paddock, all extending to approx. 1.29 acres (0.52 ha).

High Ercall is identified as a high-ranking settlement in terms of infrastructure within the Telford and Wrekin Local Plan. The village has a village hall, shop, church, primary school and village tennis club. Until recently it also had a public house. The number 104 and 521 bus operates on the B5062 past the end of the lane providing access to this settlement.
