Full Description
No upward chain. Forget Me Not Farm offers a rare opportunity to acquire a charming five-bedroom, 500-year-old farmhouse set within approximately three acres of beautifully established, highly productive land. Carefully developed over more than three decades without chemicals or sprays, the land now forms a mature and balanced natural system, rich in biodiversity and capable of producing abundant, nutrient-dense food throughout the year. Importantly, this is not a project or a blank canvas, but a functioning and thriving system already in place. The holding can be engaged with as much or as little as desired, offering both productivity and flexibility depending on lifestyle. Set in attractive countryside close to the Warwickshire border, yet within easy reach of Solihull, Stratford-upon-Avon, the wider Midlands business centres and the Cotswolds, the property offers a compelling blend of rural tranquillity and accessibility.
A Home with a Heartbeat: The 500-Year-Old Farmhouse
A house that has sheltered families for half a millennium. Thick walls, hand-crafted beams and generous rooms shaped by centuries of living. Solid, warm and welcoming, with a sense of history you feel the moment you arrive.
The Home
Five double bedrooms, four bathrooms, open fires, a wine and root cellar, and wide, flexible living spaces. Well suited to family life, home working and hosting, with rooms that can adapt easily as needs change.
Resilience
Designed with independence in mind, with practical features already in place to support day-to-day living with ease. These include an original well, scope for rainwater harvesting, solar potential, an off-grid gas range, fires and access to free wood.
Soil and Stewardship
Soil like this is rare. Carefully stewarded for over 30 years using regenerative principles, the land supports abundant food production and biodiversity. Fertile, living soil developed without chemicals or sprays.
Growing Infrastructure
Three polytunnels, a greenhouse with established grapevine, raised beds and an orchard with over fifteen fruit varieties provide strong productive capacity and support a self-reliant lifestyle.
A Shared History
Historically the farmhouse and neighbouring converted barn formed part of a single holding before the titles were separated some 33 years ago. The relationship may appeal to buyers considering extended family or multi-generational living.
A Living System
Not a blank canvas, but a mature system already in place and easy to step into. Offering privacy, flexibility and year-round organic food production, the land reflects more than three decades of careful stewardship.
A Place to Live, Create and Carry Forward
Offering privacy, purpose and flexibility, the property suits family living, creative pursuits or retreat-style use. A rare combination of lifestyle and practicality, with the opportunity to carry something meaningful forward.
Setting and Location
Completely private and rural, yet superbly connected. Approximately four miles from Solihull and within easy reach of Birmingham, transport links and the airport. The Warwickshire countryside and Cotswolds are both within comfortable reach.
