Description

Poughnhill Farm, Caynham offers a rare opportunity to purchase a property with real country estate qualities, yet set in a compact and affordable area. Where else can you find a spacious house with charm and character; a watercourse with clean babbling brook and fishing rights; mixed and charming woodland; traditional pasture and hay meadows and an iconic feature such as an Iron Age fort? All set within a ring fence in proximity to the historic market town of Ludlow, approx. 2 miles away. A property which offers so many things to so many different people warrants close inspection. This is a true lifestyle property that rarely becomes available. Coming to the open market, the first time in over 170 years. Having originally been part of the Caynham Court Estate, and having been purchased in 1852 by Sir William Curtis. Poughnhill Farm is in a beautiful area of the South Shropshire countryside, within convenient distance of the Worcestershire and Herefordshire borders. Enjoying an enviable 143 acres (approx.) Poughnhill Farm has many diverse habitats - ranging from riverside along the Cay Brook and Ledwyche Brook, with over a mile of double bank fishing, woodland, hillside, pasture, extensive hedgerows and Caynham Camp. All thus ensuring a huge variety of plants, birds and other wildlife. Forming part of a small hamlet of six houses on the estate, Poughnhill Farmhouse is a traditional, stone built, 6 bedroom property dating to circa 1801. In addition is Fixhill Cottage, a detached 3 bedroom bungalow, enjoying a delightful plot and superb view. Of significant merit is Caynham Camp - a Historic England Scheduled Monument - a large univallate iron-age hill-fort which enjoys magnificent views of the surrounding countryside of South Shropshire and beyond. The farm benefits from Stewardship Agreements. Energy Rating E (for both dwellings)
