Lot 3 - Pimhill Land and Buildings
Summary
Centred around the notable sandstone escarpment of Pimhill, a key local landmark and the estate’s namesake, the core of the land is the 266 acres of arable land.
Classed as a combination of Grade II and III the land has been famed as part of an in-hand organic diary and arable enterprise. Described as a combination of freely draining slightly acid loamy soils and slowly permeable seasonally wet slightly acid but base-rich loamy and clayey soils, this flexible holding could be put to a variety of agricultural uses.
The farm is offered subject to a current SFI scheme and a Mid-Tier Countryside Stewardship Scheme.
Pimhill Buildings
Under the Western Flank of Pimhill is known as Pimhill Cottage, previously a farmstead and dwelling but now comprising a small range of agricultural buildings, accessed by way of a private farm track which runs at the base of Pimhill and surrounded by approximately 21 acres of pasture.
The buildings could be improved and put to alternative uses, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.
Please contact the agents for further details.
Location

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.
