Description
Description
The Pimhill Estate
Lot 2 - Shotton Farm
Summary
Located just outside the village of Harmer Hill, Shotton Farm forms the heart of the estate’s organic dairy enterprise, in recent years managed under a Contract Farming Agreement.
The farm comprises a useful block of level or gently sloping arable land (252 acres), a mixture of Grade II and Grade III according to the Agricultural Land Classification.
Farmhouse & Cottage
At the heart of the farm is Shotton Farmhouse, a traditionally proportioned listed farmhouse providing accommodation over three floors (including five bedrooms and two reception rooms). Within the building is an annexed dwelling, Shotton Farm Cottage, providing a further three bedrooms. The house and cottage are interconnected so could be occupied as a single larger dwelling (subject to planning).
Farmland
The farm is laid out in good sized enclosures around the farmstead, bisected by Shotton Lane, providing straightforward access for forage production and grazing under the current system. Described by the Soilscape as freely draining slightly acid sandy soils in the main, with sections of slowly permeable seasonally wet slightly acid but base-rich loamy and clayey soils. Parts of the farm are rotationally brought into the arable CFA to provide a more resilient management scheme, whilst dairy production has been the recent focus the farm and buildings could equally lend themselves to a more arable focussed or mixed farming regime.
The farm is offered subject to a current Sustainable Farm Incentive (SFI) scheme and a Mid-Tier Countryside Stewardship Scheme running.

Location
Located five miles north of Shrewsbury on the Ellesmere Road (A528), this highly regarded farming estate is positioned around Pimhill, a notable sandstone escarpment which characterises this part of Shropshire. From the farm’s highest point are uninterrupted views of the Shropshire Hills to the south and the Berwyn Hills west of Offa’s Dyke. The farm lies on the Shropshire edge of the productive Cheshire Plain, known for its dairy farms and quality arable enterprises.
Owners can enjoy walking, riding, and sporting activities from their doorstep, with Shrewsbury just five miles away offering additional amenities, including a wide range of independent retailers. The market towns of Ludlow and Chester provide additional services and access to racecourses and golf links.
The area is wonderfully rural yet well-connected, with the A49 three miles east connecting Pimhill to the regional road network, leading to Chester, Crewe, Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham. Manchester and Birmingham international airports are 56 and 64 miles away, respectively. Shrewsbury station offers national and regional rail connections, while Stafford station (36 miles) provides direct mainline services to London (from 77 minutes). Shrewsbury hosts the renowned Shrewsbury School, with Ellesmere College, Packwood Haugh, and Prestfelde School nearby. Pimhill Estate’s businesses benefit from proximity to Shrewsbury’s commercial and professional services and transport links, enhancing the success of its wedding and events barn by attracting clients from across England.
