Description
A remarkable country estate steeped in history, with equestrian facilities, extensive traditional buildings and exciting future potential
There are houses that are built to a specification, and then there are houses that have a story to tell.
Daywell Manor is very much the latter.
Steeped in history and believed to date back to circa 1666, with later additions and alterations adding to its architectural character, this handsome country property is a rare combination of period elegance, land, outbuildings and versatility.
Set privately off a quiet country lane and surrounded by approximately 10.17 acres, Daywell Manor offers an increasingly rare proposition: a substantial historic home with its own land, established gardens, equestrian facilities and an extensive collection of traditional barns and outbuildings.
And while the property's history is compelling, it is its future possibilities that make it particularly interesting.
With the potential to accommodate equestrian use, a home-based business, lifestyle enterprise or other commercial venture, subject to the necessary consents, the property offers far more than simply a beautiful family home.
There is also lapsed planning permission for the conversion of an existing barn into two holiday lets, creating an exciting opportunity for a future owner to explore, subject to planning.
For those looking for a country property that can evolve with them, Daywell Manor provides an unusually broad canvas.
In all approximately 10.17 acres, with a further 9.51 acres available by separate negotiation.
A home with genuine heritage
From the moment you approach Daywell Manor, there is a sense that this is somewhere different.
The entrance is framed by two of the property's characterful traditional outbuildings, which run parallel to the lane before opening onto the sweeping driveway and the house beyond.
The Manor itself presents an enchanting period façade, with its origins believed to date back to 1666.
Inside, its history is tangible.
Heavy pitch-pine doors, impressive traditional fireplaces, oak panelling and original flooring provide a connection to the property's past, while later additions have created a substantial and versatile family home capable of accommodating modern life.
The generous reception hall provides an impressive introduction, leading naturally into the principal reception rooms.
There is a formal drawing room, study, garden rooms and dining room, creating a series of spaces equally suited to quiet family life or larger-scale entertaining.
The kitchen and breakfast room form the heart of the house, complemented by a snug, pantry, utility room, shower room and WC.
Upstairs, six well-proportioned bedrooms provide excellent family accommodation.
The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, enjoying panoramic views across the surrounding countryside, with dressing-room options and access to the property's two bathrooms.
The result is a home that retains the character and atmosphere expected of a property of this age, while providing the scale and flexibility demanded by contemporary family life.
The land, gardens and lifestyle
Beyond the house lies a wonderful combination of formal gardens, productive areas, recreational space and pasture.
The landscaped grounds incorporate mature hedging, ornamental planting, established lawns, fruit trees and a kitchen garden, creating an attractive setting around the Manor.
A hard tennis court adds a sporting dimension, while the extensive lawns provide plenty of space for entertaining, family gatherings or simply enjoying the remarkable surroundings.
But it is the land beyond the formal gardens that really sets Daywell Manor apart.
Approximately 10.17 acres are included within the sale, with the land principally laid to permanent pasture.
There are two smaller turnout enclosures and two principal paddocks, which could readily be subdivided further according to requirements.
There is also a further 9.51 acres available by separate negotiation, with a brook forming part of the boundary.
For an equestrian owner, smallholder or someone simply looking for greater independence and space, this represents a significant opportunity.
Equestrian potential
Daywell Manor has been designed, in part, around the practicalities of country life and provides a particularly strong equestrian proposition.
The established stable yard includes:
Six stables
Tack and feed rooms
Various stores
Victorian stable stalls
A substantial 43m x 35m maximum ménage
Dutch barn
Open-bay bricked barn
L-shaped timber-framed barn
Additional adjoining loose boxes
The network of quiet country lanes surrounding the property also provides excellent hacking opportunities, allowing horses to be ridden directly from the property without relying solely on road transport.
Whether for private enjoyment, keeping horses as part of a family lifestyle or developing a more substantial equestrian use, the infrastructure already in place provides an excellent foundation.
More than a home — an opportunity
Perhaps one of the most intriguing aspects of Daywell Manor is the collection of traditional buildings that accompany the house.
These are not simply useful storage spaces.
They provide scope, flexibility and potential.
The unconverted L-shaped timber-framed barn, together with the other traditional buildings, could offer opportunities for a range of future uses, subject of course to the necessary planning and other consents.
A home office. Studio. Workshop. Equestrian use. Ancillary accommodation. Business premises. Holiday accommodation.
The possibilities will ultimately depend upon the purchaser's vision and the relevant planning consents, but the existing buildings provide an unusually interesting starting point.
Of particular note, there is lapsed planning permission for the conversion of an existing barn into two holiday lets.
For a purchaser with an entrepreneurial outlook, this introduces another dimension to the property — the potential to combine a substantial country residence with an income-producing or commercial element, subject to renewing or obtaining the necessary planning permissions.
This is precisely the sort of property where the buildings and land can potentially work as hard as the house itself.
A wonderfully connected rural position
Despite its peaceful rural setting, Daywell Manor is remarkably well connected.
Gobowen is approximately 1.3 miles away, providing everyday amenities and a railway station with services towards Shrewsbury, Wrexham and Chester.
Oswestry provides a wider range of shopping, dining and leisure facilities, while Shrewsbury, Wrexham and Chester are all readily accessible.
For commuters, the A5 is particularly convenient, providing links north towards North Wales and south towards Shrewsbury and the M54, with onward connections towards the West Midlands.
The surrounding area is renowned for its countryside and outdoor pursuits, with golf available at Oswestry, Llanymynech, Llangollen and Wrexham, racing at Chester, Bangor-on-Dee and Ludlow, and numerous opportunities for fishing across the surrounding rivers and lakes.
The area is also particularly well served for schooling, with Oswestry School, Moreton Hall, Ellesmere College, Adcote, Packwood Haugh, Shrewsbury School and Shrewsbury Sixth Form College, alongside schools in Chester.
The opportunity
Daywell Manor is difficult to categorise.
It is a historic country house, but it is also an equestrian property.
It is a family home, but it has the buildings and land to accommodate a far broader range of uses.
It offers privacy and countryside, yet sits within easy reach of major road and rail connections.
And perhaps most importantly, it offers something increasingly difficult to find:
space to create your own future.
Whether your vision is to restore and enjoy a remarkable piece of local history, establish an exceptional equestrian home, embrace a rural lifestyle, develop a home-based enterprise or explore the potential of the traditional buildings and former holiday-let planning, Daywell Manor provides the foundations.
Some properties are about what they are today.
Daywell Manor is equally compelling because of what it could become.
