Dairy Farm in Wem Offers Development Potential for Over £700,000

A dairy farm located on Soulton Road in Wem is currently being marketed by auctioneers Halls at a price of £799,995. The property, named Brook Farm, offers significant potential for development. It comprises a period farmhouse with more than 2,500 square feet of living space distributed over three floors, around 12 acres of land, and a range of brick outbuildings.

According to Allen Gittins, chairman of Halls, the buildings have excellent potential for various alternative uses. He noted that the property could serve as a super equestrian holding, given the outbuildings and land, subject to planning consent. Additionally, the land, which is generally flat and mostly located to the side and rear of the property, could be developed for equestrian or other commercial uses, pending approval.

The farmhouse's ground floor features a sitting room, dining room, general reception room, kitchen, and utility area. A rear passage leads to an external store and traditional outbuildings. On the first floor, there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the top floor, currently undeveloped, contains three rooms that could be converted into additional bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.

The existing dairy setup includes an abreast milking parlour and a bulk tank, surrounded by 11,000 square feet of traditional buildings around a central courtyard. To the west of the farmhouse are lawned gardens, driveway parking, and views over a natural pond.

Situated about 12 miles from Shrewsbury, 22 miles from Wrexham, and 30 miles from Chester, the property also benefits from rail connections available in nearby Wem. The farmhouse offers great potential for modernization and could become a substantial country residence with equestrian facilities. The outbuildings may also support various commercial uses, subject to relevant planning consent.

Viewing of the property is by appointment only through Halls’ Ellesmere office.
