Four gated roadside access points and established hedgerows
Natural water supply on site suitable for livestock or conservation
Woodland included; timber, mineral and sporting rights sold with land
Potential income from environmental schemes and carbon sequestration
Public footpath crosses the land; sold subject to existing rights and easements
No buildings; development requires planning consent and due diligence
Very slow broadband; wider area classified as deprived
Set across approximately 49.36 acres (19.98 ha) of Shropshire countryside, this freehold parcel combines productive grassland with pockets of established woodland and a natural water supply. The land is currently suited to livestock grazing or arable use and benefits from four gated roadside access points, established hedgerows, and a public footpath crossing the site.
The woodland and soil depth create clear environmental and revenue possibilities: timber and mineral rights are included, and the land has potential for natural capital schemes such as tree planting, carbon sequestration, biodiversity net gain, and other conservation payments. Buyers seeking long-term agricultural returns or diversified income streams from environmental programmes will find strong potential here.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. The sale is for the whole holding with vacant possession on completion; there are existing rights, easements and a public footpath across the land. There are no buildings included and any development would require relevant planning consents. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average; the wider area is classified as deprived, which may affect grant or funding eligibility and local services.
This is a large, rural opportunity for farmers, investors or conservation-minded purchasers who want an extensive, well-serviced holding with environmental upside and clear access. The site’s scale, wood resources and water supply give flexibility for agricultural use, timber management or participation in environmental income schemes.
