This property used to be the station hotel and overlooks the main line from Shrewsbury to Swansea.
   
A large property over four floors (two above ground at the front and all above ground at the rear), originally built as the Railway Hotel. Stone with slate roof. 20 main rooms including 4 large rooms that could each be subdivided into 3 rooms each.   Previous planning permission for conversion into 3 large houses which could offer 11 bedrooms combined.   The council wishes to encourage the property to be developed and have agreed to waive the requirements of the affordable housing scheme, allowing up to 11 sizeable apartments (10 x 1-bedroom and 1 x 2-bedroom) to be created (with separate entrances for 6 flats).   There is scope for the property to be used as business premises, eg B&B, Hotel, beauty farm, Walker's Bunk House, Offices, or self-employed Work & Live accommodation subject to relevant permissions.
   
The property is located at the heart of walking country, and literally a stone's throw from the railway station. The property is situated in the Shropshire Hills rural area of outstanding natural beauty (ANOB) frequented by tourists and walkers, it is on the edge of a market town providing all the normal amenities.  The quiet railway branch line links the property with outstanding scenery and the county town (Shrewsbury).  Steam locomotives and other historic trains visit during the tourist season.

The property is prominently situated on a corner leading into the town from the north, making it a landmark property. The property has both a curved double frontage with large front door in addition to a straight double frontage with a 'normal' front door. Being close to the station, it is easy to find.   The property is served by a fast internet connection (estimated 17Mb).

The existing owner is selling the property at below its real value to achieve a quick sale (no chains please).   Because of the need to convert the property to a new use, this unique property would suit a cash purchaser or developer with vision. The property is not listed and is not in a conservation area.

I warned my readers not to buy in the US three years before the collapse. I warned you to keep out of Dubai, and Egypt. And I have consistently warned readers against investing in so-called Below Market Value deals, and warned where the lousy Off Plan deals are. Join the mailing list and always be ahead of the pack. I've been reading the markets right for over forty years. No-one else comes close.
