**By Informal Tender - August 7th 2025**
A very well situated residential development site extending to approximately 4.4 acres with Planning Permission and Reserved Matters Approved for the erection of 25 dwellings (5 of which are to be affordable units) including an interesting mix of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom houses, enjoying super elevated views over countryside, in a convenient and pleasant edge of village location.
Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer this excellent development opportunity on the outskirts of the village of Middletown, near Welshpool, for sale by Informal Tender.
The sale provides a very well situated parcel of residential development land extending to approximately 4.4 acres with Planning Permission and Reserved Matters Approved for the erection of 25 dwellings (5 of which are to be affordable units) including an interesting mix of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom houses, enjoying super elevated views over countryside, in a convenient and pleasant edge of village location.
The land is currently down to permanent pasture and forms part of a larger sloping field adjacent to All Saints Church on the eastern perimeter of the village with access directly on to the A458 Welshpool to Shrewsbury Road.
Reserved Matters have been approved for a most impressive development, including a variety of property types ranging from four 2 bedroom semi-detached starter homes to a range of 3 bedroom semi-detached, 3 bedroom detached, 4 bedroom detached and 5 bedroom detached houses.
The completed development will certainly be sought after and Halls, the sole Selling Agents, have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending it for an immediate inspection as a first class development opportunity.
Situation - The land is situated on the outskirts of the village of Middletown with direct access on to the A458 Welshpool to Shrewsbury Road, providing convenient access to both Welshpool (6.5 miles) and Shrewsbury (11 miles), both of which provide an extensive range of amenities of all kinds. There are a range of schooling options close-by, including Buttington Trewern County Primary School and Welshpool High School (with sixth form), whilst further options in both state and private sectors are available at both Oswestry and Shrewsbury.
Directions - w3w - ///stages.trickling,staples
From the centre of Middletown, proceed on the A458 in the direction of Shrewsbury and the land will be positioned on your left hand side immediately after passing All Saints Church. There is an access directly on to the A458 and a further access just beyond, which also provides access to Fron Farm.
Planning Permission - Outline planning permission was granted on 4th April 2018 for "residential development of up to 25 dwellings, construction of vehicular access and attenuation pond at land adjoining The Fron, Middletown, Welshpool". Application number P/2017/0010.
Subsequently, Reserved Matters were approved on 23rd May 2025 for "the erection of 25 houses, attenuation pond and associated works at land adjacent to The Fron". Application number 21/0232/RES.
We are informed that the planning permission is subject to a Section 106 Agreement requiring an 'education contribution' (£30,000).
