Description

The Fords Farmhouse is a truly special Grade II listed property, offering the chance to embrace an exceptional lifestyle change in the heart of the beautiful Shropshire countryside.

Set in approximately 3.28 acres of paddocks and gardens, this charming home offers privacy and seclusion while remaining easily accessible to key routes connecting Shrewsbury, Oswestry, and Chester.

This property is not just a home, it’s a unique opportunity to blend modern comfort with period charm, while exploring exciting lifestyle or business ventures. The current owners have already embraced this potential by running a highly regarded glamping business, showcasing the home’s versatility. Whether your dream is to continue a hospitality venture, pursue equestrian interests, or simply enjoy a peaceful rural setting, The Fords Farmhouse is perfectly positioned to bring that vision to life.

The Main Home
This elegant farmhouse is arranged over two floors and currently offers four generously proportioned double bedrooms. Full of charm, it features high ceilings, original fireplaces, and timeless character detailing throughout.

At its heart is a recently upgraded, high-specification kitchen, seamlessly blending modern functionality with rustic character. Perfect for entertaining, it's conveniently located next to the dining room, where light streams in and period features continue the home’s warm and welcoming theme.

There are four reception rooms, each bathed in natural light from large sash windows, providing excellent entertaining spaces and family flexibility. A feature fireplace creates a natural focal point, while the additional rooms offer scope for a home office, library, or playroom.

Expansion Potential – Attic Rooms
Accessed via a pull-down ladder from the dining room, two spacious attic rooms present a fantastic opportunity for expansion. With the relevant consents, a permanent staircase could be installed from the first floor, allowing these rooms to be transformed into two additional bedrooms, or perhaps a luxurious master suite complete with a private bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. This hidden potential makes The Fords Farmhouse not only a beautiful home but also a smart long-term investment.

First Floor
Upstairs, the master suite enjoys glorious views over the gardens and benefits from a beautifully appointed en-suite. Three further spacious double bedrooms boast original floorboards, charming features, and plenty of natural light. A modern family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.

Outbuildings & Land
The outbuildings offer remarkable flexibility. A brick-built store at the end of the drive is ideal for secure storage, while a row of sandstone barns in the courtyard provides exciting conversion potential for guest accommodation, offices, or studio space (subject to the necessary consents).

The surrounding 3.28 acres offer a perfect mix of landscaped gardens, fenced paddocks, and an untouched wetland area, supporting both biodiversity and equestrian or smallholding interests. A traditional kitchen garden, complete with raised beds and a greenhouse, further enhances the home’s sustainable, country-living appeal.

Summary
The Fords Farmhouse is more than a home; it’s a lifestyle. Whether you're seeking tranquillity, a new business opportunity, or room to grow your family in a magical setting, this exceptional property delivers. With the added bonus of potential attic conversion, it offers incredible flexibility and future value in one of Shropshire’s most desirable rural locations.
