Description
This beautifully presented detached barn conversion is brimming with character and rustic charm, blending period features with modern comforts. Peacefully tucked away in a private and tranquil setting, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of seclusion while still offering excellent access to the major road network, making it ideal for those seeking both convenience and countryside living. The local primary school is a short walk away.
The ground floor accommodation is both versatile and inviting. A charming lounge, complete with a corner wood-burning stove, provides a cosy retreat for winter evenings, while the separate family room offers additional living space. The heart of the home is the spacious kitchen/diner, perfect for everyday family life and entertaining, complemented by an adjoining utility room and cloakroom/W.C. A games room provides endless possibilities for leisure, and a dedicated study offers a quiet place for home working or study.
Upstairs, the property boasts four generously sized bedrooms, each filled with natural light and character. Two well-appointed bathrooms serve the first floor, designed to suit the needs of a busy household.
The central heating is provided by an oil-fired system and drainage is via a septic tank.
Outside, the appeal continues. To the front of the property there is ample parking, alongside a raised seating area that makes the most of the surroundings. The garden provides a lovely space for relaxation, while a large wooden shed—currently used as a workshop and log store—adds practicality. Beyond, a gated paddock area offers additional outdoor space, ideal for those with small livestock, hobbies, or simply for enjoying a greater sense of the countryside. A row of pigsties are located at the rear of the property and could be adapted for a variety of uses.
This distinctive home truly captures the best of rural living with modern-day accessibility, making it a rare and attractive opportunity.
Historic Ironbridge is a five minute drive away, medieval Much Wenlock ten minutes and the popular market town of Shrewsbury can be reached within twenty minutes.
