5 bed country house for sale

Sutton, Stanton Lacy, Ludlow, Shropshire SY8

A characterful 5-bedroom farmhouse of quiet charm and honest proportion, set within 2.5 acres of glorious Shropshire garden.

The Property
Great Sutton Farm is a farmhouse of genuine character, awaiting a sympathetic hand to bring it fully into the present while preserving the qualities that make it so special. The reception hall sets the tone immediately, its beautiful quarry tiling flowing through into the principal rooms beyond and giving a real sense of continuity and craftsmanship underfoot. This is a home that rewards a buyer looking for scope, soul, and space in equal measure - a rare opportunity to shape a farmhouse in a truly beautiful rural setting.

The heart of the home is a kitchen/dining room of tremendous proportions, filled with light and fully fitted with solid units and appliances, including an oil-fired aga and a separate cooker - a proper working farmhouse kitchen for family life and entertaining alike. An adjacent pantry, with its original slate worktops, adds further practicality and period charm. A superb boot room with additional units, a basin and cloakroom WC provides valuable everyday space, while a separate study offers a quiet spot to work. The sitting room, with its open fireplace and exposed beams, and the snug/family room, with built-in bookcases, parquet flooring and its own fireplace, offer two distinct and characterful living spaces.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys the benefit of an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe, complemented by a further double bedroom and family bathroom on the first floor. A second staircase rises to three further bedrooms and a shower room, offering excellent accommodation for a growing family or plenty of room for guests.

Situation
Great Sutton Farm sits within a beautiful stretch of the Shropshire countryside in Shropshire Hills National Landscape Area, in the small hamlet of Sutton within the parish of Diddlebury - a peaceful, rural setting that offers a genuine sense of escape while remaining within easy reach of everyday amenities, just 5 miles north of the vibrant market town of Ludlow, renowned for its historic streets, thriving food scene, and independent shops - offering everything needed for day-to-day life along with regular markets and a strong sense of community. Ludlow's wider appeal includes its well-regarded schools, excellent range of restaurants and its status as a celebrated food destination, along with good road and rail links connecting the town to the wider region - making Great Sutton Farm an ideal base for those seeking rural tranquillity without sacrificing convenient access to the wider world.

Outside

A charming herb garden greets visitors to the front of the property, setting a fragrant and welcoming tone.

For the self-sufficient or simply the green-fingered, a dedicated kitchen garden area offers raised beds, greenhouses and sheds, ready to be put to full use for growing and cultivation.
