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.

Location – Buildwas is a charming village on the north bank of the River Severn, just outside Ironbridge. This historic setting is home to the ancient ruins of Buildwas Abbey and sits close to the renowned Ironbridge Gorge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The village centres around Buildwas Church, the Primary Academy & Nursery, and a well-used village hall that hosts a variety of events throughout the year. Everyday amenities are available just two miles away in Ironbridge, which also offers a wealth of historical and architectural interest, while nearby Telford provides an extensive range of shops, services and leisure facilities.
