Set in the heart of the Shropshire countryside, The Fords Farmhouse is a captivating Grade II listed home steeped in history, charm, and potential. Nestled on approximately 3.28 acres, this remarkable residence offers not just a place to live, but a lifestyle—one that embraces nature, tradition, and forward-thinking opportunity.
A Home with a Story
From the moment you arrive, The Fords makes an impression. Its striking period façade, complete with sash windows, original beams, and exposed timbers, reflects centuries of character—yet the home is thoughtfully modernised to meet contemporary expectations. The recent addition of a high-specification kitchen, crafted with both function and elegance in mind, forms the heart of the home and is perfect for both family living and entertaining.
Throughout the property, natural light pours into beautifully proportioned rooms, with four reception areas offering flexibility for family life, homeworking, or formal entertaining. The four large double bedrooms on the first floor, including a serene master suite with en-suite, maintain the farmhouse’s original soul while offering everyday comfort.
Room to Grow
A standout feature of this home is its untapped attic space. Accessed currently via a pull-down ladder, these two spacious rooms could easily be transformed into a fifth and sixth bedroom—or a luxurious master suite—subject to the necessary consents. With the installation of a permanent staircase, this area becomes a valuable and exciting prospect for expanding families or savvy investors.
Outbuildings & Business Potential
This property is more than a residence—it’s a canvas for future ventures. The array of outbuildings includes a secure brick store and traditional sandstone barns, ripe for conversion into guest accommodation, office space, or creative studios (STPP). Already demonstrating success, the current owners have run a reputable glamping business on-site, highlighting the property’s capacity to support lifestyle-led income opportunities.
Idyllic Grounds & Natural Haven
Outside, the landscape continues to inspire. Formal gardens, mature trees, and a private driveway offer both beauty and seclusion. The land comprises fenced paddocks, ideal for equestrian or smallholding use, and an ecologically rich wetland area that supports local wildlife—a true haven for nature lovers.
A kitchen garden, complete with raised beds and a greenhouse, reflects the property’s commitment to sustainable rural living, further underlining its potential as a self-sufficient retreat.
Prime Position, Rural Tranquillity
Despite its peaceful setting, The Fords is superbly connected. Located just a short drive from Shrewsbury, Oswestry, and Chester, it offers the best of both worlds: country life with commuter convenience.
Why The Fords Stands Out
- Grade II listed with exquisite original features
- Recently upgraded kitchen and modern bathrooms
- Potential for two additional attic bedrooms (STPP)
- Outbuildings with conversion or business potential
- 3.28 acres of gardens, paddocks, and biodiverse wetland
- Proven glamping business opportunity
- Convenient rural location with strong connectivity
The Fords Farmhouse invites you to reimagine what home can mean. Whether you’re dreaming of a peaceful family base, a thriving rural business, or a forever home with room to grow—this is a truly rare find in one of Shropshire’s most picturesque locations.
