For sale by Auction 6th April 2026
The Poppy House presents an exceptionally rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a historic Grade II listed property in the very heart of Bishop's Castle. Combining charm, versatility and genuine income potential, this is a property that seldom comes to market.

Currently operating as a successful café and B&B, the property offers an immediate, proven business opportunity. Equally, it could be reimagined as a substantial and characterful family home, with flexible accommodation ideal for multi-generational living or additional rental income.

The accommodation includes a ground floor café space with kitchen and utility, four en-suite letting bedrooms, a spacious upper floor with further bedrooms and living space, plus a self-contained two/three bedroom annexe and an additional two-bedroom cottage.

Externally, the property continues to impress with private gardens featuring a remarkable section of a Grade I listed castle wall - an extraordinary and highly unique feature rarely found in residential ownership.

Situated within the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Bishop's Castle is a vibrant and sought-after market town known for its strong community, independent shops, pubs, and popular festivals.

Whether you are seeking a lifestyle business, a landmark home, or a flexible investment, The Poppy House offers outstanding potential in a truly special setting. Opportunities of this nature are exceptionally scarce, making early viewing highly recommended.

Unique opportunity to purchase a property that you could convert back into an incredible family home or continue with owners flat, bnb business and cafe business
