Wigmore Castle 1

A unique and rare opportunity to acquire the historic Grade I Listed Wigmore Castle and grounds with a planning consent to convert an existing workshop into a two bedroomed dwelling. The property extends in total to about 29.84 acres (12.07 hectares). The castle was founded in 1067 by William Fitz Osbern, Earl of Hereford and a close associate of William the Conqueror. The Castle boasts a rich history and was a major centre of power for over 500 years hosting several kings and queens.
The proposed dwelling is located in a private yet elevated position with stunning views over the surrounding countryside and is in an easily accessible location on the edge of the rural village of Wigmore. Wigmore is a picturesque village with a delightful blend of historical heritage, natural beauty, and a thriving local community. There are two pub/restaurants, a community store, a mobile post office service, an active village hall, primary school and a highly regarded secondary school. Further facilities are located at nearby historic Ludlow. Ludlow is well positioned for access to the surrounding areas with the A49 linking Shrewsbury to the North and Hereford to the South. Ludlow Train Station is on the Manchester to Cardiff line.
