They have lived at the property for the past 35 years and have improved the property to suit their requirements.

The house sits in the middle of its land and offers an increasingly rare quality of life with the opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, whilst being only a short drive from the larger centres of Shrewsbury, Ludlow and beyond. The farm is thought to appeal to farmers or lifestyle purchasers as it can be farmed for profit or let out to derive an additional outcome.

Situation - Lower Gravenor Farm is located close to the village of Wentnor, which boasts two country pubs, shop and church. Bishops Castle lies a short drive away (5.5 miles) and has a good range of basic amenities.

It has fully double glazed windows, oil fired central heating from a Stanley range and additional heating from log burners in the reception rooms. The property is served by a private borehole water supply.

Farm Buildings - Across the reception yard lie two attractive traditional store two storey outbuildings that offer great potential for a change of use to office/ studio/ holiday let or full time accommodation (subject to consents). The main farmyard lies beyond and comprises of a further range of more modern agricultural buildings, ideal for livestock and fodder housing, but with the possibility for a range of other uses. The farm buildings have the benefit of light, power and water supplies. A floorplan for the outbuildings is available upon request.

Land - The land forms a defining feature of the property, providing an attractive and versatile setting that completely surrounds the farmstead. Classified as Grade 4 on the Agricultural Land Classification scale, it is well suited to pasture and has traditionally been used for grazing and mowing. Adding to its character, the holding includes a number of small woodland parcels along with a diverse mix of mature trees that create natural shelter, enhance biodiversity, and give the landscape a timeless rural charm. The acreage is thoughtfully divided into manageable enclosures, offering flexibility for a variety of uses, whether for livestock, equestrian purposes, or environmental schemes. The ground rises gently across the holding, ranging from around 700 feet above sea level at its lowest point to approximately 1,000 feet at its highest. The farmstead itself is attractively positioned at about 850 feet above sea level, providing open aspects across the surrounding countryside and a strong sense of seclusion and privacy. The land is registered with Defra, allowing the purchaser to take advantage of current or future management and stewardship schemes if desired. This offers scope not only for agricultural use but also for conservation and environmental enhancement. Water is supplied by both a private borehole and natural sources, ensuring a reliable and sustainable provision across the holding. This combination of pasture, woodland, and natural features makes the land not only a practical agricultural asset but also a haven for wildlife and a beautiful setting for the farmstead. A full schedule of the property, land and buildings is available upon request.
