Description

A most interesting parcel of versatile amenity land extending to 0.58 acres, or thereabouts, attractively situated on the banks of Colemere, with excellent views over this renowned Shropshire landmark and offering exciting potential for a variety of onward usages.

Description - Halls are favoured with instructions to offer this most interesting parcel of amenity land for sale by private treaty

The land extends, in all, to around 0.58 acres, or thereabouts and is idyllically situated alongside the banks of Colemere, with picturesque views in abundance over this popular Shropshire landmark.

The land, at present, is retained within one enclosure with boundaries provided by fencing and timber gates.

The parcel boasts a number of maturing fir trees, with the remainder of the land having been left for nature to take its course and, as such, features areas of untended growth.

A public footpath runs the length of the land.

It is decidedly rare for land to be offered in this much sought after location, particularly in such a convenient size and, thus, the parcel could serve a variety of onward usages. The land sits close to an established and well-regarded Caravan Park and, therefore, may offer potential for leisure development (Local Authority consent permitting), although no enquiries on this topic have yet been made.

Situation - The land lies directly to the south-west of Colemere, one of Shropshire's "most beautiful meres", and nestles within the rural village of the same name. Colemere regularly attracts visitors from across the county, and indeed beyond, who flock to the village to visit the Country Park, with its stunning scenery, rich meadows, and the local sailing club. Colemere sits around 3 miles to the south-east of the town of Ellesmere, which offers a respectable range of local amenities, with the county town of Shrewsbury reachable by car in approximately 30 minutes.

Directions - W3W - ///retail.flat.subtitle

Leave Ellesmere on the A528 in the direction of Shrewsbury, and continue for around 2.7 miles where a left turn (signposted Colemere and Lyneal) leads onto a country road, continue along this road for approx 0.5 miles then turn turn right and then almost immediately left, where the road leads into the heart of the village and, around 0.4 miles later, a track leads to the left and to the mere (identified by a public footpath marker). On foot, follow the track for a short while until the public footpath leads to the left, follow the footpath through the first field where the land will be identified by a Halls "for sale" board.

Access - Access to the land is provided by a public footpath over an adjoining field and, as such, is only pedestrian in nature. We are not aware of any vehicular access to the land.

Tenure - We are advised the land is of Freehold tenure.

Vacant possession will be granted upon completion.

Rights Of Way, Wayleaves & Easements - The land will be sold subject to any wayleaves, public or private rights of ways, easements and covenants, and all outgoings whether mentioned in these sale particulars or not. There is a Public Footpath crossing the land.

Local Authority - Shropshire Council, Shirehall, Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, SY2 6ND.

Anti-Money Laundering (Aml) Checks - We are legally obligated to undertake anti-money laundering checks on all property purchasers. Whilst we are responsible for ensuring that these checks, and any ongoing monitoring, are conducted properly; the initial checks will be handled on our behalf by a specialist company, Movebutler, who will reach out to you once your offer has been accepted.

The charge for these checks is £30 (including VAT) per purchaser, which covers the necessary data collection and any manual checks or monitoring that may be required.
