Situation - Peacefully set back from the public road down a private track whilst still being within practical distance of amenities, Brook House Farm presents an idyllic position to enjoy countryside living. The A488 is under one mile from the farm and gives access into the county town of Shrewsbury, either by car or the regular bus service. Less than six miles south lies the historic market town of Bishop’s Castle, known for its array of independent shops, cafes and pubs, as well as many community-run events throughout the year.

The Farmhouse - Comprises a spacious dwelling made of traditional stone and a later rendered extension with wooden windows and doors, beneath a slate roof. The property is sizable with the capability of space for up to three well-sized bedrooms along with ample living accommodation. The property, which requires full renovation, presents a chance to create a family home specifically suited to its owners.
Externally timber post and rail fencing separates the house from the farm yard with a small lawned area to the front and larger grounds to the rear, opportune for a patio, lawn, flower beds, shrubs and vegetable patch.

The Chalet - Brook House Farm also has a wooden clad chalet near to the farmhouse, which has been sited there for over ten years. The chalet consists of an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, two bedrooms and bathroom. There are two external access doors, and windows to all rooms.
Council tax is paid on the property, and has been in effect since 2024. Subject to gaining the necessary consents, the chalet may have the potential to be replaced with a similar unit to provide useful living accommodation while renovation works are undertaken on the farmhouse, or once complete, as an annexe.

The Land And Buildings - From the public road, the property has a right of way over a privately owned track. Through a gated entrance, the vehicular access continues into the property’s boundary leading directly into the farmyard.

Brook House Farm has the advantage of a very generous range of agricultural buildings which provide space for housing livestock as well as machinery and fodder storage. Two steel portal frame sheds sit adjacent to each other in an ‘L’ shape at the north of the farmyard. Further versatile space is offered by a Dutch barn with large lean-to. There are multiple other smaller outbuildings, which would benefit from some repairs or replacement, and would offer perfect storage for tools and equipment; essential for any functioning small holding. A traditional stone barn lies to the northeast of the house.

The farm is ringfenced and in all extends to 24.05 acres (9.73 hectares) The land rises to the west, reducing in gradient at the top and is predominantly grass which is suitable for grazing livestock; with some improvement it would allow for increased productivity. An area of woodland runs parallel to the track and a source of natural water supplies the land. Near to the house there are some smaller paddocks which also feature a pond.
