Farm sells for £4.85 million

 

The sale of Marrington Cottages Farm at Chirbury, near Montgomery was agreed at a private auction.

 

The purchaser, Fraser Jones of Court Calmore, Montgomery, said he was delighted to have had the opportunity to purchase such a good farm and sizeable block of land so close to his dairy operation.

 

Halls’ chairman Peter Willcock, who conducted the auction, said: “The price achieved for this farm reflects the scarcity of supply of good quality arable land in the Welsh borderlands area.”
