Description

Situation: Barn Owl is a stunning detached barn conversion that seamlessly blends rustic character with contemporary luxury. Located in the peaceful hamlet of Ensdon in stunning Shropshire countryside, yet only 2 minutes from Nesscliffe, with beautiful walks over The Cliffe, with immediate access to the A5 for commuting towards the M54, and 10 minutes from the market town of Shrewsbury, also accessible via bus hourly. The popular Royal Hill pub is a 10 minute drive away, on the banks of the River Severn.

The heart of the home is the magnificent open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, featuring attractive herringbone flooring and a wood-burning stove, creating a grand yet welcoming atmosphere. Large glazed doors and windows flood the room with natural light and provide direct access to the garden.

The stylish kitchen is fitted with a large handmade quartz central island/breakfast bar which seats 8 persons. The sleek cabinetry and integrated appliances, including a wine fridge and dual cook Samsung ovens combined with microwave and air-fryer offer an inclusive entertaining and cooking area. Adjacent to the main living area is a combined, practical, utility room and cloakroom, both accessed via sliding barn-style doors.

The accommodation is arranged over two levels. On the ground floor are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, one of which benefits from a contemporary ensuite shower room and its’ own, recently re-pointed, sunny, walled garden. The second bedroom is just across from the stylish family bathroom. All the rooms on the ground floor have doors going out to the garden.

The bespoke designed staircase features a red sandstone wall, climbing up to the second floor. The principal bedroom continues the characterful theme with exposed brickwork and timber detailing with an en-suite classically designed bathroom with underfloor heating. There is extensive storage offering bespoke wardrobes/cupboards. Throughout the home, there is a clear attention to detail, from the herringbone flooring to the bespoke lighting.

A paved patio area runs along the side of the barn, providing an ideal setting for al fresco dining and enjoying sunsets over the Shropshire hills.
