A substantial Victorian brick farmhouse set in a ring-fence of approximately 155.14 acres (62.78 ha), The Knapps Farm combines classic country character with genuine agricultural utility. The three-storey house offers four bedrooms, sizeable living spaces, cellar capacity and a south-facing garden with far-reaching views over the Shropshire Hills. The site includes modern steel portal-framed sheds and traditional brick outbuildings, all with water and electricity, plus hard-standing yards and cubicles for up to 80 cattle.
The property is best for buyers seeking a working farm, diversification opportunity or a conversion project. The outbuildings present realistic potential for residential conversion or alternative rural enterprises, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. The land is productive and freely draining, suitable for grazing, mowing or arable rotations, and benefits from a natural water supply via Westbury Brook.
Important practical points: the farmhouse requires renovation and modernisation throughout, with only one principal bathroom and some rooms in need of updating. Broadband speeds are very slow and the location is a remoter, hamlet setting — private and accessible but relatively isolated. These factors suit buyers prepared for rural living and investment in upgrades.
For an owner-occupier family or an investor, the farm offers scale and flexible income potential — from traditional farming to environmental schemes, tree planting, renewable energy or residential conversion of suitable buildings. Proximity to Shrewsbury gives reasonable access to services while retaining seclusion and low local crime.
