Located on the A49 between Shrewsbury and Ludlow, Church Stretton was named ‘Little Switzerland’ by the Victorians because of its beautiful landscape and health resort status.

“This versatile property enjoys an idyllic setting on the edge of Church Stretton and offers a blend of residential accommodation and income-generating potential,” said James Evans, head of Halls Commercial.

“The holding provides significant scope for further development or enhancement, subject to the necessary planning consents. It will appeal to lifestyle business owners, equestrian enthusiasts or purchasers seeking a lifestyle change, investment opportunity or multi-generational living arrangement.”

Springbank Farm is a detached, four bedroomed house built in the 1900s with an attached garage and gunroom, large garden and pond within a generously-sized plot.

To the east of the house is Meadow View, a tenanted, detached bungalow with two bedrooms and an attached outbuilding. The equestrian facilities comprise three stables, a tackroom and an adjoining 20m x 40m manège.

Mr Evans said the caravan site, which is licenced to provide 18 pitches, offers significant potential to be extended. It was renovated in 2023 and has a digital booking system.

The property, which includes 5.87 acres of agricultural land, enjoys a prominent, elevated position with outstanding hillside views on the northern edge of the town.
