Grade II Listed Shropshire Farmhouse with Stables and Paddocks Offers Exceptional Equestrian Lifestyle

Dating back to the 16th century, the attractive black and white country house sits within landscaped gardens surrounded by mature trees and countryside views. Located on the edge of the popular village of Marchamley, near Whitchurch, the property offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity for equestrian enthusiasts, hobby farmers and those seeking a characterful rural home.

Marketed by leading rural property specialists Balfours, Slip Farm benefits from extensive outdoor facilities, including paddocks, seven stables, a menage and more than 2,000 square feet of outbuildings. Additional accommodation includes a detached home office and a double garage, providing flexibility for home working, business use or leisure pursuits.

Conveniently positioned just eight miles from Whitchurch, the property also offers easy access to Market Drayton, Telford and Shrewsbury, making it ideal for those looking to balance country living with commuter convenience.

Inside, the historic farmhouse showcases an abundance of original character features. The welcoming reception hall leads to three reception rooms and the kitchen. The spacious sitting room enjoys two bay windows, one incorporating French doors opening onto the terrace and gardens.

Two reception rooms feature wood-burning stoves, while the dining room is particularly impressive with its large inglenook fireplace and intricate network of exposed timber beams that celebrate the home’s heritage and craftsmanship.

The farmhouse kitchen combines modern convenience with traditional charm, featuring a range of fitted units and integrated appliances that complement the property’s rural roots. Adjoining the kitchen are a pantry, utility room and downstairs shower room with WC. A second shower room is conveniently located off the reception hall.

Upstairs, two staircases, including an attractive spiral staircase and a second staircase from the dining room, lead to four characterful bedrooms. All bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes, while the principal bedroom enjoys an en-suite bathroom. A separate shower room serves the remaining bedrooms.

Alistair Hilton, Head of Sales at Balfours, said: “Slip Farm is a property that simply keeps on giving. While it will undoubtedly appeal to buyers seeking an equestrian property in Shropshire, its extensive outbuildings, office space and stabling offer potential for a wide variety of business, lifestyle and hobby interests.
