3 Bed Detached House For Sale

Devonshire House is a commanding former public house of notable scale, occupying a substantial footprint in the desirable village of Wall-under-Heywood, nestled between the thriving market towns of Church Stretton, Ludlow and Shrewsbury. It is rare that expansive and characterful village buildings come to the market that offer flexibility for a wide variety of future uses (subject to the necessary consents) and steeped in local heritage. Internally, the property extends over three floors and offers a fascinating blend of spacious public areas, ancillary rooms and private quarters - all brimming with potential for reinvention. Whether reimagined as a grand country home, boutique guest house, a unique events venue or split into apartments or mixed-use accommodation, Devonshire House is one of those rare properties where vision meets volume.

The ground floor reflects the property’s heritage as a hostelry, with former bar rooms, reception areas, a large commercial kitchen and an impressive double-fronted layout. On the upper floors, a generous array of rooms comprising the private accommodation - easily adaptable for family use or commercial repurposing.

Externally, the building occupies a wide and deep plot of 032 Acres and provides excellent frontage and scope for landscaping, parking or further development (STP).

Wall-under-Heywood is a peaceful village tucked below Wenlock Edge, surrounded by glorious rolling countryside. The location strikes the perfect balance between rural serenity and strategic connectivity. Shrewsbury and Ludlow provide major amenities, schools and rail links, while Church Stretton is just minutes away with shops, eateries and walks in the Shropshire Hills.

Devonshire House is not just a property - it is an opportunity to shape the next chapter of a character filled building in a thriving rural community.
