Address

Former United Reformed Church, The Brow, Welsh Frankton, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, SY12 9HN.

Location

The property is situated in the small hamlet of Welsh Frankton in North Shropshire. It lies in a corner plot at the junction of the A495 Oswestry to Ellesmere road and Brynalt Lane, approximately three miles southwest of Ellesmere and six miles northwest of Oswestry.

Opposite the property, on the other side of the A495, is a modern residential development at Frankton Fields. The southern side of the property enjoys extensive views over the Shropshire and Welsh countryside.

Description

The property is a former church and school room, which occupies an end of terrace position.

The original single storey building probably dates from 1874 and was latterly extended to provide a school room to the side and later an adjoining toilet block with WC and wash hand-basin.

The building sits on a total site area of 0.07 acres incorporating a single car parking space and some amenity land to the front.

The property provides a unique opportunity for redevelopment as character residential accommodation, subject to statutory consents.
