An "exceptional" mixed arable farm has just been launched on the market in Shropshire, with the estate agent expecting a great deal of interest as land rarely comes to sale in the area.

Laburnum Farm, Heath Hill, Shifnal is available as a whole or in five lots with a total guide price of £1.59 million, and has been launched on the market with property agent Berrys.

The farm comprises a 4 bedroom traditional farmhouse, a range of agricultural buildings, large yard area and approximately 96.11 acres (38.90 hectares) of good quality pasture and arable land.

The majority of the land is currently down to pasture with 15.04 acres currently in arable.

The land is primarily Grade 3 land and the predominant soil type is Salwick which is suitable for both pasture and cereal crops.

The farm is located in a location to the east of Shropshire in a prominent agricultural area.

It sits on the edge of the hamlet of Heath Hill just north of the village of Sherrifhales, a village steeped in history being listed in the Doomesday Book of 1086.

“This is an exceptional farm in an excellent location likely to appeal both to buyers looking for a whole farm and farmers wanting additional land to extend their existing business,” said Chris Jones, agent in charge of the sale at the Shrewsbury office of Berrys.

“Land and farms rarely come up for sale in the area so we are expecting a great deal of interest.”
