6 Thorne Lane, Blackford, WV16

Newbury House is a beautifully positioned detached cottage of considerable character, set discreetly within the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and enjoying far-reaching panoramic views across rolling countryside. Approached via a gated entrance and sweeping driveway, the property immediately conveys a sense of privacy and rural charm, all whilst standing within approximately four acres of gardens and well-maintained paddocks.

Believed to date back to the 19th century, the cottage offers a wonderful balance of period features and practical living. The welcoming entrance hall leads through to a characterful sitting room, where an impressive inglenook fireplace forms a striking focal point, complemented by solid oak flooring and French doors opening onto an elevated patio that perfectly frames the surrounding views. A separate dining room provides further space for entertaining, featuring an attractive fireplace and additional French doors to the rear.

At the heart of the home lies a farmhouse-style breakfast kitchen, thoughtfully arranged to suit both everyday living and hosting, alongside a useful utility room and boot room with traditional stable doors—ideal for those embracing the outdoor lifestyle this setting affords. A ground floor shower room with W.C. adds further convenience.

To the first floor, four well-proportioned double bedrooms are accompanied by a family bathroom, while a substantial loft space, extending to approximately 26ft and benefitting from a rear-facing window, offers excellent versatility for a variety of uses, all enhanced by exceptional elevated views.

Throughout the property, a wealth of original features can be found, including exposed beams and trusses, all contributing to its warm and inviting atmosphere.

Externally, the property is particularly well suited to equestrian use. A bespoke range of brick-built stables, constructed with reclaimed materials, includes three principal stables along with a separate larger stable suitable for foaling. Each benefits from lighting and rubber matting, with a covered overhang and hardstanding areas ideal for day-to-day equine care. The paddocks are well arranged, enclosed by post and rail fencing, and offer a mixture of level and gently sloping grazing, divided thoughtfully around the driveway for ease of access.

The surrounding gardens are mature and established, blending seamlessly into the adjoining land, creating a truly idyllic setting.
