Building The Dream - From the early 1900s up until the late 1960s, a small black and white cottage existed on the site. A local haulier, George Ashley, parked Livestock Lorries on the site before, in 1954, a brick and concrete ‘piggery and meal house’ was erected. Pig production continued on the site until 1993, when the building became redundant and fell derelict.

Location & Situation - The Old Piggery sits just outside the village of Cockshutt in Shropshire. With far reaching views across the surrounding countryside, the property is close to the local amenities of Ellesmere, which is situated 5 miles North West. The large historic market town of Shrewsbury is located 12.5 miles to the South offering a wide range of dining, retail and recreational facilities.

Road: The property is located 15 minutes drive from the A49, A483 and M54 providing easy access to Birmingham in the East and Chester, Liverpool and Manchester in the North West.

Rail: Shrewsbury station is 20 minutes from the property, offering direct links to local towns and cities. Stafford station provides speedy links to London, with travel times from Stafford to London Euston being 1hr 18 minutes.

Air: Located 1 hour from Liverpool John Lennon Airport and just 1 hour 15 minutes from both Manchester and Birmingham airports, providing quick and easy access to all European and wider international travel.

Schools: There is a wide range of public and private schools located locally, including Shrewsbury School, Ellesmere College, Shrewsbury High School, Moreton Hall and Lakeland Academy.

Sporting: A wide range of golf and leisure activities are located close by, with golf at Shrewsbury and Hawkstone, horse racing at Chester, Ludlow and Bangor-on-Dee, shooting at West Midlands Shooting Ground in Hodnet, flying at Sleap Airfield and a large number of local football and cricket clubs within 10 miles.

In 2015, planning was approved to remove the existing buildings on the site and replace with a single dwelling built on a single level. Work commenced but came to a halt in 2017 with just the subfloor and steel structure erected. Purchased by the current owners in 2021, the project was remodelled and work re-commenced in early 2022, with the site being occupied once again in December 2023.

Directions - From Ellesmere proceed South on the A528 in the direction of Shrewsbury for around 4 miles and just before reaching the village of Cockshutt turn left signposted English Frankton. Proceed for 0.3 of a mile and turn left (unsigned). Continue along this small country lane for a short distance and the property will be situated on your right hand side.
