Summary - LONGFORD HOUSE FARM, MARKET DRAYTON, LONGFORD TF9 3PW
5 bed 4 bath Country House
Substantial 5-bed farmhouse on c.3 acres with outbuildings and development potential.
Over 6,200 sqft of living space across three connected buildings
Longford House Farm is a striking former farmhouse extended and renovated to provide more than 6,200 sqft of flexible family living across three connected buildings. The house sits in about 3 acres of formal gardens, pasture and rewilded nature space, with a lily pond, Indian sandstone terrace, fruit trees and a gated driveway leading to substantial outbuildings and workshop. The principal suite occupies the top of the barn-style extension and benefits from floor-to-ceiling windows and a large en-suite.
The current owners completed major works (reroof, rewiring, hardwood double glazing, oil boiler, exposed oak finishes) and a new sewage treatment plant was installed in 2025. There is a successful pre-application response for a single dwelling adjacent to the house, offering clear medium-term development potential if required. Generous parking and useful stores/workshop make the property practical for large families, home working or small-scale hobby enterprise.
Important practical points are straightforward: heating is oil-fired and the original timber-frame elements are assumed to have no cavity insulation, which may mean future insulation or energy upgrades are advisable. Council Tax sits at a higher band (Band G) and the property is in a remote hamlet: access is generally good to Market Drayton but note one nearby lane is currently unpassable for regular vehicles. Broadband is fast but mobile signal is average.
This is a rare opportunity for a family seeking substantial, characterful space with gardens and land in a peaceful agricultural setting, while retaining sensible, specific renovation/energy considerations and possible land-development value.
