    About this property

    • Newton Mere is an attractive and well-appointed converted barn forming part of an exclusive courtyard development of just six properties, combining characterful features with modern, stylish living in this sought-after rural location.

      The property enjoys a desirable position within the courtyard and benefits from outdoor space including a balcony with steps leading down to an enclosed area laid with astro turf, providing a low-maintenance yet practical setting for outdoor enjoyment.

      Internally, the accommodation is both light-filled and thoughtfully designed, offering a seamless blend of traditional materials and contemporary finishes. An inviting entrance hall sets the tone, featuring a solid oak staircase which rises to the first floor.

      The ground floor living space is centred around a comfortable sitting room, complete with a log-burning stove, creating a warm and welcoming focal point. This flows into the open plan kitchen and dining area, which is fitted with a range of modern units complemented by granite worktops. Integrated appliances enhance both functionality and style, while a convenient utility area provides additional space for appliances and storage. From the kitchen, doors open directly onto the balcony, allowing for an abundance of natural light and an ideal connection to the outdoor space.

      To the first floor, Newton Mere offers well-proportioned and versatile accommodation. The principal bedroom benefits from a dressing area and a well-appointed en suite bathroom with a bath and shower over. A further double bedroom enjoys its own en suite shower room, while an additional double bedroom features Velux windows, enhancing the sense of space and light. The family bathroom is fitted with both a bath and separate shower, serving the remaining accommodation.

      Newton Mere presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a characterful yet contemporary home within a charming courtyard setting, ideally suited to modern living while retaining the charm and appeal of its barn conversion origins.

    For me this barn is really deceiving, as once you walk in the space is wonderful and the outdoor area is fantastic

    Local information

    • Frankton Farm Barns occupy a delightful rural setting in the small village of English Frankton, close to the picturesque North Shropshire Lakeland town of Ellesmere. The property offers the best of both worlds – a peaceful countryside position yet with excellent access to nearby market towns and regional centres.
    • Ellesmere lies approximately 2 miles to the south-west and provides a good range of everyday amenities including independent shops, supermarkets, cafes and restaurants, together with the well-known Mere and canal-side walks. The larger town of Oswestry is around 10 miles to the west, offering a wider selection of retail, leisure and healthcare facilities. The county town of Shrewsbury is approximately 16 miles to the south, renowned for its historic centre, extensive shopping, dining and cultural attractions, while the city of Chester is around 28 miles to the north, providing a comprehensive range of commercial and leisure amenities alongside direct rail services to London and other major cities.
    • The area is well served by road communications, with the A5 accessible, providing links to the national motorway network via the M54 and onward connections to the Midlands and North West. Rail services are available from Gobowen (approximately 8 miles) and Shrewsbury, offering regular connections to Birmingham, Manchester and London. Regional airports can be found at Manchester and Liverpool, both within comfortable driving distance.
    • The location is particularly well regarded for its schooling, with a number of highly-rated primary schools locally and secondary education available in Ellesmere and Oswestry.
