Walton Mill, Walton, Worthen, Shrewsbury, SY5 9JN

Walton Mill presents an exciting opportunity to purchase a smallholding requiring improvement which includes a bungalow, a former cottage, agricultural buildings and land, in all extending to approximately 24.64 acres (9.97 hectares).

Set within the South Shropshire countryside very close to the England-Wales border with the Brockton Brook running along the south of the site, the property occupies a private location while still being accessible to local amenities.

Please note that the bungalow is subject to an Agricutrual Occupancy Restriction.

Description - Walton Mill is accessed via a private track from the adopted road, partly being third-party owned, with a bridge over the brook.

Including a bungalow and former cottage with scope for complete restoration, the smallholding provides the prospective purchaser a blank canvas to personalise and transform.

24.64 acres (9.97 hectares) of grassland lending well to accommodating a number of livestock in addition to woodland and two outbuildings.

Location - Set only 1.5 miles from the village of Brockton which is home to a local country pub and a further half mile along the B4386 to Worthern which has a primary school, village hall, doctors’ surgery and a convenience store.

This road provides access to many surrounding villages, as well as leading into Shropshire’s county town, Shrewsbury, 13 miles northeast, which has a vast array of amenities, transport links and events.

Heading into Wales, Welshpool town is approximately 8 miles west of Walton Mill, also offering many useful facilities and attractions.

Bungalow - The two-bedroom bungalow is set within the woodland offering complete privacy. The property is of steel portal frame construction on concrete blocks and external cladding.

It was originally built in the 1980s and has had minimal alteration since, now requiring full modernisation or replacement. The bungalow has an agricultural occupancy condition attached to it.

Former Mill Cottage - The smallholding also features the beautiful former mill cottage which is a two storey property of stone construction with slates to the roof.

The cottage is briming with potential to be completely renovated and work has begun to restore it, including replacing the internal timbers, and the new slates and windows to the roof.

Buildings - The holding benefits from two outbuildings which provide generous storage space.

One is a timber pole barn with monopitch corrugated sheet roof of approximately 60ft x 14ft, with the second being metal corrugated barn of approximately 40ft x 14ft.

Land - The holding extends to approximately 24.64 acres (9.97 hectares) with the majority being grassland, suitable for grazing livestock, with some improvement it would allow for increased productivity.

There are also areas of woodland, some of which is where the bungalow and cottage is set in. The land is generally steep in topography, rising up from the entrance to the holding.

At the north side is a scheduled monument of a small Iron Age fort settlement. There are tracks within the land leading to the bungalow and cottage which require improvement to the surface.

The holding is ringfenced and there are established hedgerows to boundaries as well as the Brockton Brook which adjoins the southern boundary of the land.
