South Shropshire farm launched to the market
A South Shropshire farm has been launched to the market, with the opportunity of a traditional family home and extensive prospects within its 57 hectares, for the new owners to develop their own interests, be that agricultural, environmental, equestrian or sporting.
Situated just 2 miles south of Ludlow, Poughnhill Farm includes productive farmland, environmental and heritage features, woodland, an orchard, a modern agricultural shed and a traditional stone building, a 6 bedroom farmhouse and a 3 bedroom bungalow.
Scott Kemsley, Balfours partner and joint agent, comments: “This is a very special opportunity to steward this part of historic landscape and to enjoy a comfortable farmhouse at its heart. The land is classed as grade 2 and grade 3, which is well set-up as a grass-based farm; in recent years it has been mowed and grazed by cattle and sheep, served by a network of private supply water troughs.”
Among its resources are the Ledwyche Brook, a variety of copses and woodland, established and mature hedges. A Sustainable Farming Incentive Scheme and a Higher-Tier Countryside Stewardship Scheme are in place and will be transferred with the sale.
Scott adds: “The whole presents a diverse range of income streams, particularly considering its proximity to both Ludlow and the countryside; equestrian or farm tourism could be a bolt-on to agricultural income. In addition, there are biodiversity and carbon objectives which could provide further focus.”
Balfours are marketing Poughnhill Farm with a guide price of £2.1 million. For more information call 01584 707100.
