A 194-acre organic dairy farm near Shrewsbury, Shropshire, owned by the same family since 1917, is now on the market with a guide price of £3.25 million. Hall Farm, Cruckmeole, near Hanwood, is being offered for sale by informal tender through Halls on behalf of brothers Andrew and Roger Bebb.

Tenders must be submitted to Halls Holdings House, Bowmen Way, Battlefield, Shrewsbury, SY4 3DR, by noon on Friday, June 21.
Situated just outside the hamlet of Cruckmeole, less than a mile from Hanwood village and six miles from Shrewsbury, Hall Farm presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly productive, organic dairy and livestock operation with arable potential in a scenic part of rural Shropshire.
The farm includes two houses, providing opportunities for multi-generational living, staff accommodation, holiday lets, or assured shorthold lets. Hall Farmhouse, offering 3,740 square feet of living space over three floors, features:
Ground floor: Large farmhouse kitchen, additional kitchen/breakfast room, five reception rooms, two offices, conservatory, boiler room, shower room, and W.C.
First floor: Seven bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Adjacent to the farmhouse, Keepers Cottage, part of a substantial traditional range of brick buildings, extends to approximately 1,866 square feet over two floors:
Ground floor: Kitchen/breakfast room, utility, W.C., shower room, three reception rooms, and a study.
First floor: Three bedrooms and a family bathroom, accessible by two staircases.
Farm Buildings:

Milking parlour
Collection yard
Cubicle shed
Loose housing sheds
Silage clamps
Slurry store
The traditional buildings have potential for change of use, subject to planning consent.
The predominantly Grade 3 pastureland has held organic status since 2001 and is divided by a hardcore access road, with field sizes ranging from five to over 40 acres, suitable for grazing livestock, mowing, and arable cultivation. The farm is part of a Countryside Stewardship mid-tier agreement running until January 1, 2026, and is eligible for the new Sustainable Farming Incentive Scheme.
James Evans, Director at Halls, commented on the farm's unique market position: "The sale of Hall Farm offers prospective purchasers an unusual opportunity to acquire a highly productive, organic dairy and livestock setup with arable potential, in a convenient and beautiful part of rural Shropshire." He also noted the potential to convert the nine-bedroom farmhouse into a third home, highlighting opportunities for diverse living arrangements and rental options.
This sale presents a unique investment in a historic, well-maintained agricultural property with substantial potential for future development and diversification.
