Lower Gravenor Farm is a traditional four-bedroom stone farmhouse set within just under 100 acres of pasture and small woodland parcels in South Shropshire. The house offers comfortable, adaptable accommodation across two floors, oil-fired central heating, log burners in reception rooms and a private borehole supply. Its elevated position gives long views across the Onny Valley and towards the Long Mynd, and the holding is registered with Defra for stewardship schemes.
A diverse range of agricultural and traditional outbuildings surround a central yard. Several stone and steel buildings have mains power, light and water and present genuine potential for conversion to ancillary accommodation, holiday lets or studio/office use — subject to planning consent. The land is largely Grade 4 pasture divided into manageable paddocks, suited to grazing, mowing, equestrian use or environmental projects.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: the property is served by private drainage to a septic tank, oil-fired heating (not a community supply), secondary/double glazing and very slow broadband. There is only one bathroom in the main house. Purchasers should allow for potential upgrading, servicing of off-grid systems, and any planning costs if converting outbuildings.
This is a rare opportunity for a working small/medium farm or lifestyle buyer seeking seclusion, productive pasture and conversion potential within commuting distance of Shrewsbury and Ludlow. It will particularly suit buyers who value privacy, land management options and who can accommodate rural service limitations or who plan targeted investment to modernise services or convert buildings.
