Description

This property encompasses approximately 17.48 acres of pastureland, situated within the picturesque Shropshire Hills National Landscape. Reilth Mynd is a traditional stone and brick farmhouse featuring five to six bedrooms, constructed in the early 2000s. The home blends character with modern amenities, providing a comfortable living environment. Additionally, there is a versatile space adjacent to the main residence that presents opportunities for conversion into an office, annexe, or rental unit. The property includes around 137.54 acres (55.66 hectares) of productive pastureland alongside a modern livestock building, adding significant functionality for agricultural use. Located in a tranquil rural setting with expansive views, it is also conveniently placed near the market town of Bishops Castle and offers good access to nearby towns including Craven Arms and Ludlow. Bishops Castle is an established market town rich in history dating back to 792 AD. It offers essential services such as schools, healthcare facilities, leisure amenities, and various local shops and dining options. A reliable bus service to Shrewsbury enhances connectivity for residents. Reilth Mynd has been cultivated by local families over many years and boasts fertile land capable of supporting high-quality livestock production. The land’s versatility suggests it could be used not only for grazing but also for harvesting or other agricultural practices. This property represents a unique opportunity for buyers interested in establishing a working farm or pursuing a lifestyle property amid stunning countryside. The distinctive features of this holding include its private driveway leading away from public roads, ensuring peace and seclusion while remaining accessible. The estate benefits from several development possibilities (subject to necessary planning approvals) that may enhance its value further. The land features Grade 4 unimproved permanent grassland classified by Defra which sits at about 1100 feet above sea level—ideal for livestock grazing and other agricultural uses. With mature hedgerows providing natural boundaries and support for biodiversity, this site holds considerable investment potential with prospects for carbon sequestration and environmental stewardship initiatives. Access is straightforward via an unclassified highway, while provisions such as private water supplies from a borehole add convenience for agricultural activities. The property comes with sporting and mineral rights along with standing timber included in the sale. Overall, Reilth Mynd represents not just a home but also an opportunity to invest in farmland with strong potential for growth and development within an exceptional rural landscape.
