DESCRIPTION
Oak Tree Farm presents a unique opportunity to acquire a Shropshire smallholding extending in total to approximately 22.44 acres (9.08 hectares), available for sale as a whole. The 3 bedroom farmhouse and adjacent double garage benefit from a separate access off Covert Lane via a semi-circular in and out driveway. A pole barn and general purpose building sit to the north of the property off a separate farm track that runs adjacent to the house and garden. The land is primarily laid to pasture and has been used for producing hay. With gently rolling topography and grade 3 soil quality, the land could also be suitable for arable cropping. Additionally, the property features a charming wooded boundary on two sides that slopes down to a water course. The residential property includes a detached three-bedroom house offering approximately 186.70 square meters (2,010 square feet) of living space. Downstairs consists of a kitchen, living room, dining room, study, conservatory and downstairs WC. Upstairs benefits from a master bedroom with ensuite shower room, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom with separate shower cubicle. While the home is in good condition, it would benefit from some modernisation, allowing buyers the opportunity to add personal touches. There is ample parking for several vehicles to the front of the house, and a 6.61m x 5.78m garage, making it convenient for both residents and visitors. The farm buildings are located at the end of a 135m track to the north of the residential accommodation. The buildings can be described as follows: • Monopitch pole barn with tin roof and open sides - c12.82m x 7.5m • Timber framed, corrigated sides and roof with part concrete floor and internal stores – 15.91m x 17.64m plus an extension to the rear c10.5m x 10.5m. The building is set on a slope which drops away from the front access towards the water course. There is a vehicle and separate pedestrian access at the front of the building.

LAND
The land extends to approximately 21.59 acres of which c15.51 acres is laid entirely to permanent pasture. With gently rolling topography, it is ideally suited for both grazing and arable purposes.

Access can be gained off Covert Lane and from the farm buildings. The land has been used for hay production and the crop has recently been taken. There is no third-party occupation.
