Summary - Birchope Farm, Ratlinghope, Shropshire, SY5 0SX SY5 0SX
6 bed 6 bath Detached
Secluded Shropshire estate with huge gardens and flexible income potential.
Three separate units: 3-bed farmhouse, 2-bed cottage, 1-bed converted barn
Set within about 3.34 acres in the Shropshire Hills, this trio of stone buildings offers private, flexible country living. The main house (three bedrooms) retains period features including exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and vaulted kitchen/family space. Two further properties – a character two-bedroom cottage and a newly converted one-bedroom barn – sit within the grounds and broaden uses for multi‑generational occupation or holiday income.
The estate benefits from substantial outdoor space: landscaped gardens, well-stocked borders, a kitchen garden and paddocks with far-reaching, unspoilt views. Practical on-site services include mains electricity with solar panels, a private borehole and stores; these support off-grid living but the property depends on oil/LPG-fired heating and private drainage.
There is clear potential to modernise or reconfigure: the barn conversion is recent, while the two cottages and farmhouse would respond well to targeted updates to insulation, heating and internal finishes. Previous planning consent for a first-floor extension above bedroom three has lapsed, so any enlargement would require fresh permission.
Buyers should note material considerations plainly: the buildings are traditional granite/stone construction with no assumed wall insulation, EPC ratings are E (farm and byre) and D (barn), broadband speeds are very slow, and heating is oil/LPG fed. For those seeking a secluded rural base with strong holiday-let or multi‑household potential, this offers a rare plot with scope to enhance energy efficiency and rental income.
