For sale by Public Auction.

Auction Details:

Nock Deighton Land and Property Auction, Wednesday 25th March 2026, 5.00pm (doors open at 4.00pm), Bridgnorth Rugby Club, Edgar Davies Ground, Bandon Lane, Bridgnorth WV15 5AD

The woodland at The Rookery, Badger, WV6 7JR extends to approximately 2.97 hectares (7.35 acres) and is held under Title Number SL233740. Access is taken from a gated driveway located at what3words ///unimpeded.comedy.shine, leading from a quiet country lane, with the woodland itself beginning at ///found.trump.married. The land offers a substantial and private block of established woodland, providing a peaceful natural setting with a strong sense of seclusion. It presents an excellent opportunity for amenity use, conservation, recreational enjoyment or longer-term stewardship, appealing to those seeking a manageable yet meaningful parcel of countryside.

The setting is particularly special. Badger is a small and highly regarded rural village in south-east Shropshire, known for its unspoilt character and attractive surrounding landscape. The area is defined by gently rolling countryside, mature hedgerows, scattered woodland and open farmland, creating a quintessential English rural scene. Despite its tranquil feel, Badger is well placed for access to Bridgnorth, Telford and the wider West Midlands, making it both peaceful and practical.

Badger’s charm lies in its quiet lanes, historic buildings and strong sense of community. The village enjoys a distinctly rural atmosphere with minimal through traffic, making it ideal for those who value privacy and a slower pace of life. The surrounding countryside offers excellent opportunities for walking, riding and enjoying the outdoors, further enhancing the appeal of owning land in this sought-after Shropshire location.
