Lower Stocks Farm represents a unique and desirable development opportunity, set within around 3.16 acres of grounds most suited to cash buyers.
Located just under 2 miles from the highly sought-after market town of Ellesmere, this extensive site provides the ultimate blank canvas for developers, investors, or self-builders.
The heart of the site features a substantial four-bedroom country farmhouse that has been entirely stripped back to its timber frame structure (no brick infill). All internal walls have been cleared to the raw framework, offering complete architectural freedom to design a premium, high-specification layout entirely from scratch. Because of the non-standard, stripped-back nature of the construction, the property is likely unmortgageable in its current state and maybe more suitable for cash buyers.
Beyond the main residence, the acreage features a comprehensive mixture of neighbouring agricultural buildings. This includes a versatile adjacent barn ideal for a studio, home office, or auxiliary accommodation to go with the main house, alongside additional traditional, brick-built barns and a variety of further agricultural structures that can all be considered for Class Q conversion into separate residential dwellings (subject to the necessary planning consents). The entire plot commands breathtaking, uninterrupted panoramic views over the rolling Shropshire countryside, ensuring either an exceptional return on investment or the creation of a truly spectacular rural estate.
Services: Mains Electricity, Drainage via a septic tank located within adjacent farmyard (inspection chamber situated on the front lawn). Buyers should note that the current system may not meet the Environment Agency’s General Binding Rules. The property is connected to a water supply which also serves the neighbouring farm buildings.
