Poughnhill Farm is a productive 118-acre block of Grade 2 and Grade 3 agricultural land just south of Ludlow. The holding combines mowing and grazing pasture with established hedges, small copses and woodland, and benefits from a private water supply and good natural shelter. The highest ground contains Caynham Camp, an Iron-Age hillfort and scheduled monument, which gives the site strong heritage value and commanding views.
The land is already entered into a Sustainable Farming Incentive and a Higher-Tier Countryside Stewardship Scheme (both commenced January 2024) and the sale will be subject to these agreements. Management to date has included sheep and cattle grazing and mowing; the block is well suited to continued grass-based farming, biodiversity or carbon-focused management, or other rural enterprises, subject to consents where required.
Practical considerations are straightforward: access is via a right of way, tenure is freehold, and there is a private water supply serving troughs. The site has excellent mobile reception but very slow broadband. There are no flood risks recorded. Prospective purchasers should note the presence of the scheduled monument (Caynham Camp) and the stewardship agreements, which will affect permitted works and future land management choices.
Overall, Poughnhill offers a substantial, versatile rural asset with environmental and heritage strengths and clear potential for agricultural, conservation and recreational uses. Buyers seeking scale, established landscape features and proximity to Ludlow should review the stewardship terms and any restrictions linked to the scheduled monument before offer.
