Description - The property was purchased in September 2015 and the current owners obtained planning permission in 2017 to reconfigure and extend the existing property. Planning reference - P/2017/0579

Originally a Welsh Longhouse believed to date back to the 1700’s, Corndon is a detached property offering fantastic potential for further development and renovation. The current owners have commenced various works and this opportunity allows all potential purchasers a chance to introduce their own ideas and finishes.

The ground floor accommodation currently offers a kitchen and bathroom together with a number of rooms, which are stripped back to block and stone with a wealth of original beams and additional features such as an inglenook fireplace. The first-floor space which has been created is a superb area requiring configuration.

To date the following works have also been completed:
- Ring beam put in place to stabilise the walls.
- One large section of the roof has been raised, replaced and completely reconfigured.
- Two RSJ’s have been put in place to support a future ground floor knock through.
- One of the former ground floor bathrooms has been demolished and removed.

Outside - The property is accessed along an unadopted shared lane, which arrives at an entrance gate. The private driveway extends to the front of the property and offers numerous potential parking areas and space for additional garaging. It should be noted that there is an existing single garage positioned to the far end of the property. Corndon has scope to create lovely gardens with far reaching, panoramic views which extend across rolling countryside and towards The Callow, Stiperstones and Devil’s Chair.

Land - The land is potentially to the front and side of the property and comprises the following:
- Grass and grazing - approx. 8.47 acres
- Gorse and woods - approx. 4.22 acres
- Water meadow - approx 4.9 acres

Set in all approximately 19.6 acres.
