The Fords Farmhouse is a Grade II listed Victorian farmhouse set in about 3.28 acres of gardens, paddocks and a biodiverse wetland. The house blends original period features — sash windows, exposed beams, high ceilings and fireplaces — with a recently upgraded, high-spec kitchen and four double bedrooms. Bright reception rooms and generous proportions make it well suited to family living, entertaining and flexible home working.
Extensive outbuildings and sandstone barns sit around a courtyard and offer genuine scope for conversion to guest accommodation, studios or business use, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. The current owners have demonstrated commercial potential with a proven glamping operation, showing the site’s suitability for hospitality or smallholding ventures.
There is clear expansion potential: two large attic rooms could be converted to additional bedrooms or a master suite if planning and listed-building permissions allow. Buyers should note the property’s listed status will restrict some alterations and any barn or attic conversions will require formal consents. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect remote working until upgraded.
Set in a quiet hamlet with low local crime and easy road access to Shrewsbury, Oswestry and Chester, the farmhouse offers a secluded rural lifestyle with good nearby schooling options. The plot’s size, greenhouse, kitchen garden and paddocks make it ideal for equestrian, smallholding or lifestyle business buyers who value space and biodiversity.
