The Stack Yard presents a rare opportunity to create a bespoke, high-specification home in the heart of the Shropshire countryside. Set on a generous 0.56-acre plot within the peaceful hamlet of High Hatton, this development site comes with full planning permission (granted 3rd March 2025) for a striking contemporary residence. The design artfully balances modern architectural lines with its rural heritage, offering a substantial four-bedroom family home of approximately 2,797 square feet. Positioned on the edge of the hamlet, the property is designed to capture panoramic views that stretch toward The Wrekin to the south and the Hawkstone Hills to the north.
One of the most captivating elements of this project is the innovative conversion of an original circular grain silo. This structure is set to become a dual-level leisure complex, providing a unique ground-floor gym and a secluded first-floor home office. Connected to the main house by a stylish pergola, this feature adds a distinctive character to the site while providing essential space for modern remote working and wellness. The surrounding grounds are equally wellconsidered, offering a mix of formal gardens defined by traditional timber fencing and expansive informal areas that blend seamlessly into the rolling landscape.
The location offers a perfect blend of rural seclusion and practical connectivity. Residents can enjoy the quietude of North Shropshire while remaining within easy reach of local hubs like Hodnet and Shawbury, both of which provide essential amenities, primary schooling, and popular local eateries. For broader shopping, leisure, and professional services, the vibrant towns of Shrewsbury and Telford are both approximately 12 miles away. This accessibility, combined with proximity to the M54 and mainline rail links from Stafford and Crewe, makes The Stack Yard an ideal choice for those seeking a tranquil lifestyle without sacrificing convenience. From a development perspective, the site is well-prepared for construction, with mains electricity already connected and other services accessible nearby. The project also offers significant financial advantages for owner-occupiers, who may be eligible for an exemption from the Community Infrastructure Levy. There is shared access managed by the Hatton Barns Management Company, the development ensures that the private access and shared infrastructure are maintained to a high standard, preserving the exclusivity and appeal of this small, high-quality community.
