Description - Halghton Grove is a superbly situated livestock farm in a noted farming district just outside the well known village of Penley.

The farm comprises a substantial three storey period farmhouse residence, which offers great potential for modernisation, improvement and/or extension (subject to planning permission), a range of traditional farm buildings, together with an extensive range of more modern Livestock Housing and feeding buildings and good quality farmland, in two principal parcels, extending, in all, to approximately 82.42 acres, or thereabouts.

Farms such as this do not come on the market in this area very often, so it should be noted by farmers, those with equestrian interests or even those just looking for a first class country residence in such a rural, yet convenient setting.

Situation - Halghton Grove is situated just outside the well known local village of Penley which has noted primary and secondary schools, a parish church and a local village store. However, the north Shropshire lakeland town of Ellesmere (5 miles) is within a short drive and offers an excellent range of local Shopping, Recreational and Educational facilities. The larger centres of Wrexham (9 miles) and the county towns of Shrewsbury (21 miles) and Chester (23 miles) are within easy motoring distance, all of which, have a more comprehensive range of amenities of all kinds.

The Farmhouse - The period farmhouse provides substantial and versatile internal accommodation over three floors and has huge potential for a scheme of modernisation, renovation and improvement into a first class family home.

The ground floor currently includes a Lounge, Dining Room, Kitchen, Living Room, Larder, Pantry, Office/Store, Shower Room and Utility Room.

The first floor includes three Bedrooms, a landing and storage area, and has a staircase to the second floor, where there are three further Bedrooms and a Store Room.

Farm Buildings - The farm buildings are conveniently positioned in relation to the farmhouse and are principally set around concreted yards. There is a traditional Range building closest to the farmhouse which extends to approximately 1,400 square feet and offers great potential for alternative usages such as dependent living accommodation, offices, holiday lets, etc (subject to Local Authority consent). The later farm buildings are most substantial and ideal for continuation of livestock rearing/feeding/housing and fodder storage. It should be noted that this was formerly a dairy unit, so has extensive former shippons which again have potential for alternative agricultural usage.

There are a number of more modern portal framed loose housing sheds.

Land - The land is a major feature of the property and extends, in total, to approximately 82.42 acres (33.35 hectares) or thereabouts and is predominantly retained in two principal blocks of pasture land either side of quiet Council maintained Halghton Lane.

The main block of land is situated to the side and rear of the Homestead and extends to approximately 55.81 acres (22.58 hectares) or thereabouts.

The second block is situated directly across Halghton Lane from the Homestead and comprises further enclosures of grass extending to approximately 26.61 acres (10.76 hectares) or thereabouts.

The land is all in grass, being of permanent or semi-permanent nature with mature hedgerow boundaries and a mains water supply supplemented by natural pits and ponds.

The land is generally level and would be considered to be a Grade 3a on the Predictive Agricultural Land Classification (PALC) Map for Wales/Provisional Land Classification Map of England and Wales, as published by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) by the Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).
