Cwm Linton represents a rare and prestigious opportunity to acquire a versatile 6.29-acre residential smallholding, perfectly tailored for those seeking a self-sufficient lifestyle, equestrian pursuits, or a rewarding hobby farming venture. Nestled in a tranquil, elevated position with breathtaking views across the Camlad Valley toward Corndon Hill, the estate is defined by its exceptional dual-dwelling configuration. Alongside the beautifully restored 17th-century farmhouse stands "The Dairy House," a magnificent detached barn conversion that offers significant potential as a high-yield holiday let. This substantial building provides a ready-made opportunity for a lucrative on-site business, allowing a new owner to capitalise on the area's popularity with tourists and walkers to generate a robust annual income.

The primary residence is a characterful period farmhouse, believed to date back to 1654, which underwent an extensive and sympathetic refurbishment and extension in 2012. The current owners have meticulously preserved the home's soul, retaining original stone walls and exposed timbers while introducing high-quality modern comforts. The heart of the home is a classic country kitchen, finished with oak flooring and a signature Everhot electric range, leading into a cosy original sitting room featuring a warming wood-burning stove. A substantial contemporary extension provides an additional, light-filled living room with three-sided views and patio doors that open onto beautifully landscaped gardens. Designed for the practicalities of country life, the ground floor also includes a functional side porch and utility room, complemented by a separate downstairs cloakroom with a WC, ensuring the home is as convenient as it is charming. Upstairs, the master suite impresses with its vaulted ceilings and exposed 'A' frames, while three further bedrooms offer flexible space for family or a home study.

The Dairy House itself is finished to an exceptional standard, standing in its own plot with private parking and open terraces that soak in the valley views. Internally, the barn boasts a stylish, open-plan layout with three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a split-level kitchen and diner with dramatic vaulted ceilings. This secondary residence ensures that Cwm Linton is a comprehensive lifestyle package, blending historic charm with modern functionality, all while remaining within easy reach of the vibrant local communities of Montgomery and Bishops Castle.

For the aspiring hobby farmer or equestrian enthusiast, the infrastructure at Cwm Linton is exceptional. The property features an array of well-maintained, modern outbuildings centred around a clean gravel and concrete yard. These include a substantial four-bay general-purpose barn and an adjoining open-fronted shed, both featuring concrete floors and ideal for lambing, cattle, or the installation of internal stables. A separate two-storey workshop provides a versatile space for creative projects, a home office, or a studio, while a further open-fronted building in the lower field provides convenient shelter for livestock. The land itself consists of approximately 6.29 acres of gently sloping, well-fenced permanent pasture, divided into manageable enclosures with piped water troughs and a dedicated vegetable garden with a large greenhouse for true "field to fork" living.

In keeping with its self-sufficient appeal, Cwm Linton is equipped with independent service solutions including a private borehole for water and a sophisticated energy system. The property benefits from 16 solar panels with a guaranteed feed-in tariff and a 14kVA diesel generator, ensuring resilience and reduced running costs. Whether you are looking to graze horses, rear livestock, or simply enjoy the peace of the Shropshire hills while launching a thriving holiday business, Cwm Linton offers a unique and harmonious blend of tradition, income potential, and rural independence.
