Farm for sale

Chyknell Hall sits in an elevated position taking full advantage of the spectacular views across the beautiful gardens, parkland and the Shropshire countryside beyond. The Hall is approached along two private, tree lined drives, through the park meeting to the north of the house for the final sweep to the front of Chyknell Hall. Situated centrally in the Estate, the house and its park enjoy total privacy and seclusion, with no rights of way.

Protecting the eastern carriage drive is Chyknell Lodge, a pretty 2 bedroom cottage. Chyknell Hall is an elegant Regency house, with a stone Doric colonnaded entrance. Doors provide access into an imposing and beautiful entrance and staircase hall. The house has exceptionally fine reception rooms including the Drawing room, with a large bay window, the Dining room, with an arched recess and views out across a formal pond and the parkland beyond and the library with its central marble fireplace and enjoying triple aspect views across the stunning gardens.

The woodland on the Estate extends to about 57 acres. The woodland has been planted historically to provide optimum protection and amenity value to Chyknell Hall and are a very special part of the Estate. The species include Oak, Sweet Chestnut, Beech, Red Oak, Hornbeam, Poplar, Larch, Scots Pine and Norway spruce. The more recent planting has been under the Woodland Grant Scheme which commenced in January 2010.

In addition to the freehold ownership the Estate benefits from about 509 acres of adjoining sporting rights. These enhance the shoot significantly providing the ability to shoot over in excess of 711 acres. Over the years the shoot has been enhanced significantly to what is now an extremely good pheasant and partridge shoot.

Chyknell, extending to about 200 acres is a uniquely private Estate, situated in one of England's most beautiful, sought after and least populated counties. The much sought after village of Claverley is a mile away and is popular because of its thriving primary school, pubs, shop, Post Office and All Saints Church, which can trace its origins back to the 7th Century. The historic town of Bridgnorth, on the banks of the River Severn, is less than 6 miles away. The earliest mention of the town was in 895 and although the 'High Town' was destroyed during the Civil War, much of the 'Town Wall' remains today. Providing all the necessary services and amenities, Bridgnorth is a thriving market town.

The larger towns of Shrewsbury, Ludlow and the city of Birmingham are all under 30 miles away, the latter providing national and international flights. London is within 1 hour, 44 minutes by train from Wolverhampton. Standing in exceptional parkland, with stunning views across Shropshire's unspoilt countryside, Chyknell, has undergone a major refurbishment programme, with absolute attention to detail. The Estate provides a totally private, yet very accessible home and sporting estate with all the amenities rarely found in such abundance.
