The family home of an Oswestry businessman who murdered his wife and daughter before killing himself earlier this year has gone up for sale.

Hugh McFall, 48, killed Sue McFall, 56, and 18-year old Frankie at their home in February. He then drove to his business premises in St Martins, where he took his own life. A for sale board has now gone up outside the four-bedroom house in Hampton Road in Oswestry.

Kate Woodhead Estates, the Oswestry based estate agent, has the house on the market with an asking price of £325,000.

The specifications for the house say it has two reception rooms and a large conservatory as well as a utility or study room and two garages.

The four bedrooms include one with an en-suite bathroom.

"In excellent decorative order it has extensive family accommodation in a sought after residential area," details say.

Photographs on the estate agent's website show a large, family home with big front and back gardens to the property.

The house has wooden flooring and the high specification fitted kitchen includes a range-type cooker. The main living room has stairs leading from it to the first floor and its four bedrooms.

French windows lead from the main part of the ground floor of the house into an airy conservatory, large enough to take a big corner sofa. It looks out onto well kept gardens.

Inquests into the deaths of the McFall family heard that Hugh McFall, who had a wholesale flower business, had large debts.

But coroner Mr John Ellery said nobody would ever know the exact reason for Mr McFall's actions.

The deaths stunned the Oswestry community. The McFall family had been popular in and around the town.
