4 Introduction Broomcroft Farm is situated in the beautiful Shropshire countryside and offers far reaching views across to Wenlock Edge. Conveniently close to Much Wenlock and Shrewsbury, Broomcroft Farm offers a multitude of opportunities and is available as a whole or separate lots. In recent years it has been run as a sheep enterprise with the majority of the land down to grass. For a number of years the Farm was run as an intensive Arab stud with extensive stabling and an indoor school, which still remains. Historically the Farm has grown arable cropping on the majority of the land. Broomcroft Farm offers a wide range of opportunities, not only as a working farm but either as an equestrian enterprise or development opportunity on those areas with planning permission. Situation Broomcroft Farm is located in an idyllic situation just outside the pretty village of Kenley, surrounded by most attractive countryside. The area is well known for its beauty, stunning views and landscape including Wenlock Edge. It offers excellent walking opportunities and is well thought of by equestrian enthusiasts for its network of bridleways. The nearby village of Harley offers the well known pub, The Plume of Feathers, a church and community hall. The town of Church Stretton (10 miles) and the historic town of Much Wenlock (5 miles) provide a range of facilities including a variety of schools, a number of individual shops, supermarkets, delicatessen, public houses and restaurants. From Much Wenlock a road links through to Ironbridge and thereon to Telford, the M54 motorway and wider West Midlands network. The county town of Shrewsbury is 11 miles away and offers a comprehensive range of shopping, leisure and social facilities as well as both state and private schools, including Shrewsbury School, Shrewsbury High School and Prestfelde Preparatory School. It also links to the A5 north towards Chester and north Wales, whilst to the south is Bridgnorth with further road links to Kidderminster and the M5 motorway. Description Broomcroft Farmhouse is an enchanting mellow stone farmhouse set in a commanding position with fabulous views over its own farmland and on to Wenlock Edge. The main farmhouse dates back to about 1750, with earlier origins. It has been wonderfully restored and is beautifully presented offering a fantastic lifestyle opportunity for those wishing to live in a rural community and yet close to Shrewsbury.

5 The farmhouse is approached by a stoned driveway which sweeps behind the house into a partly concreted yard around which are some of the older outbuildings and the granary. The front door opens into a hallway which provides access to the sitting room with a wood burning stove in an inglenook fireplace and exposed timbers. The living/dining room is a wonderfully light room and perfect for entertaining. There is a Stovax Reva multifuel stove and French windows which provide access to the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room has a Rayburn along with a CDI range cooker with gas hob and oven. There is a larder cupboard and fully fitted units with granite worktops and Belfast sink. A slate floor extends from the kitchen into the utility room which also provides access into a boot room and outside onto a small courtyard where there is a WC. The first floor is accessed via a staircase from the hallway and to the master bedroom, a family bathroom and two further double bedrooms one of which has a staircase to an en-suite bathroom above. The second floor has a double bedroom, a shower room and a further two bedrooms. Gardens The walled gardens to the front and side of the farmhouse are laid mainly to lawn, with flower beds shrubs and fruit trees. There is a summerhouse/potting shed beside a substantial patio area. To the side of the house is a substantial garage block, again with planning permission for residential conversion.

8 Equestrian facilities The equestrian facilities are excellent and are conveniently situated close to the house. For a number of years Broomcroft Farm was run as a stud and the majority of the facilities remain. There are 9 excellent Lodden boxes all in good condition with feeders and rubber matting, although originally there were over 60 boxes, which could be reinstated if required. There is also the concrete standing for a horse walker. The principal building with insulated roof, was originally designed as an indoor school. It has a hard core surface with a lean-to, which could provide further stabling. There is an outstanding outdoor ménage with post and rail fencing, with beautiful views over the Shropshire Hills beyond. To the side is a circular lunging ring with post and rail fencing. All the paddocks are well fenced and watered.
