The Old Smithy in the Shropshire village of Norton, on the A442 between Telford and Bridgnorth, will be transformed into a three-bedroom home with a new contemporary extension.
It is one of a number of projects that will see heritage buildings transformed across the Apley Estate and stands adjacent to a row of four "eco homes" in Village Road which were recently added to a national network of low carbon homes.
Estate director Graeme Manton said Apley was very pleased to see the latest plans approved.
He said: “We are delighted that Shropshire Council has given the go-ahead to breathe new life back into this historic building.
