The Pimhill Estate

Summary


The Pimhill Estate, near Shrewsbury in Shropshire, is a diverse organic farming estate featuring an Elizabethan Hall, a wedding barn, a guest cottage, and contractor-operated organic dairy and arable farming enterprises.

The estate spans around 673 acres and is offered as a whole or in up to three lots. It has been farmed organically for over seventy-five years, helping spearhead the organic farming movement in the UK.

Lea Hall

Lea Hall, built in 1584 and Grade II* listed, sits at the heart of the farm. Showcasing architectural elements from the 16th and 18th centuries, the living space covers approximately 7,363 square feet across three floors, including a cellar. The ground floor has four reception rooms, kitchen and utility areas. The first floor features four double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate WC, while the top floor includes two double bedrooms, two additional rooms, and another family bathroom.

The gardens reflect the Elizabethan period with formal elements like a Hornbeam avenue, clipped Yews, espaliered apple trees, an octagonal Dovecote, a kitchen garden, a small lake, and an outdoor swimming pool.

Adjacent to Lea Hall is the Courthouse, a detached brick building restored in 2012, offering an entrance hall, a double bedroom, a wet room, and a large open-plan living space with exposed beams and a kitchen. The Courthouse is used for wedding accommodations and short stays.

Pimhill Farm Venue & Yard

The Elizabethan Barn, built in 1584 and restored in 2011, is a popular wedding venue licensed for civil marriages and partnerships, accommodating 150 people. The barn is connected to a traditional brick cart shed and a pavilion with a commercial kitchen and toilets. The Clock House and the Moggy provide additional spaces for smaller events and ceremonies.

Adjacent to the wedding venue are modern and traditional buildings that once served the farm and milling business, now functioning as a commercial hub with flexible storage and office spaces.

Shotton and Pimhill Farms

The estates also includes a substantial in-hand agricultural asset, currently managed under two contracting agreements, comprising organic dairy and arable enterprises. The land is all classed as Grade II or Grade III and could lend itself to a variety of enterprises.

From the farm’s highest point are uninterrupted views of the Shropshire Hills to the south and the Berwyn Hills west of Offa’s Dyke. The farm lies on the Shropshire edge of the productive Cheshire Plain, known for its dairy farms and quality arable enterprises.
