Award-winning Shropshire holiday site comes to market for £2.9m

An award-winning holiday retreat in south Shropshire which is eyeing future expansion is now on sale for £2.9 million.

Westhope Country Retreats, at Middle Westhope Farm near Craven Arms, has six individual holiday cottages capable of accommodating 52 people but planning consent is in place to add nine more units.

This would increase the capacity by a further 24 people.

Along with the new cottages, planning permission is also in place for a facilities building incorporating offices, a gym and games room and entertainment area.

Shrewsbury-based property agency Roger Parry & Partners is marketing the three-acre countryside retreat which sits near the Shropshire Hills and attracts walkers and cyclists.

The site has built a strong reputation within the tourism sector and has been the winner of numerous awards including hospitality business of the year and a silver for self-catering accommodation at the West Midlands Tourism Awards.

Each of the six cottages has its own character, ranging from the two-bedroom Troopers Barn through to the larger Old Farmhouse, which can accommodate up to 14 guests.

The latter also has full residential status, meaning the new owner can live on site while managing the wider holiday business.

It also has landscaped grounds, parking and communal areas and is within easy reach of Church Stretton, Much Wenlock and Ludlow.
