Set within about 1.60 acres of agricultural land, Lower Hurdley Farmhouse is a traditional stone and slate cottage that will appeal to buyers seeking authentic rural character and scope for improvement. The Grade II listing confirms its historic C18 origins and attractive features: exposed beams, flagstone floors and an inglenook fireplace with wood burner. The house sits in a hamlet setting with low crime, fast broadband availability and easy access to Churchstoke, Bishops Castle and Welshpool.
The property offers practical rural living: lawned gardens, a stone/hardcore driveway with off-street parking, timber workshops and an outhouse with W/C. There are historic farm outbuildings and agricultural land that present options for continued low-intensity farming, storage or conversion subject to consents. Services include mains electricity, mixed water supply and oil-fired boiler with underfloor heating.
Important negatives are clear and factual. The farmhouse is Grade II listed, which brings restrictions and likely extra costs for works; this will cause difficulties for some buyers. Some outbuildings and agricultural areas are described as derelict/unkempt and will need repair. Windows include single-glazed units in places and the property uses oil heating and private drainage. Council Tax band E is noted as above average.
This is a genuine opportunity for a buyer who values countryside character and space rather than a turnkey home. It suits someone prepared to manage listed-building constraints and planned works to unlock the property’s potential, whether as a private country home, a smallholding or part of a larger lot purchase.
