Introduction
Shepton Fields is an exceptional, established agricultural holding. Situated between 900 and 1,100 feet above sea level, the property occupies a commanding position in beautiful, unspoilt countryside, boasting breath-taking views to the south and east towards Shrewsbury, Telford, and The Wrekin.
This is a first-class livestock farm, fully equipped with stock-proof fencing across the holding to ensure secure and efficient land management, including natural ponds and thriving wildlife habitat, offering exceptional potential for biodiversity and private conservation. Over the last 5 years the farm has been utilised as a dairy young-stock unit, and a number of the fields have been used for sheep grazing. The land benefits from a private water supply which feeds the land, buildings and house.
Shepton Fields Farmhouse
Steeped in early 20th-century character, Shepton Fields Farmhouse is a substantial 1925 residence built with rendered brick walls beneath a pitched tiled roof offering the perfect blank canvas to create a lovely rural lifestyle home.
The practical ground floor layout provides ample space for family living and entertaining. A central hallway leads to two versatile reception rooms, a dedicated dining room, and a traditional kitchen with an adjoining back kitchen. A practical utility room keeps daily chores separate, while a conservatory provides open views of the surrounding Shropshire landscape. Upstairs, the first-floor features four well-proportioned bedrooms and a central family bathroom, offering a comfortable living environment.
Grade II Listed Barn & Outbuildings
Adjacent to the farmhouse is a historic, Grade II listed L-shaped barn. Originally a mid-15th-century longhouse extended in the early 17th century, it features a traditional timber-framed cruck construction encased in red brick and uncoursed limestone rubble under a corrugated iron roof.
Additionally, the yard contains traditional brick and stone farm buildings offering clear potential for residential conversion, subject to planning approval.

The Farmland

Convenient Enclosures: The entire acreage is split into manageable, intelligently sized enclosures. This setup allows for seamless livestock rotation, easy stock management, and highly efficient field-to-yard operations.
