Sitchfield, Hopesay - A timeless detached barn in a beautiful rural setting

General Remarks - Nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Hopesay, close to Craven Arms, Sitchfield is a remarkable stone and timber barn conversion offering a superb blend of rustic character, elegant design and exceptional privacy. Surrounded by rolling pasture and mature broadleaved woodland, this idyllic country home sits in just over 4 acres, providing a rare sanctuary of space, tranquillity and natural beauty.

Inside, the property showcases a rich tapestry of exposed timber trusses, natural stone walls and polished timber floors, with many rooms featuring vaulted ceilings that flood the home with light and highlight the craftmanship of its barn heritage. Offering 4/5 bedrooms, including two ensuite rooms, along with two further shower rooms and two spacious living rooms, create distinct areas for relaxation and socialising while a cosy dining room provides an inviting place for gatherings and intimate meals. The layout combines flexibility with a welcoming sense of warmth and timeless charm.

At the heart of the home, the well-appointed kitchen serves as a perfect gathering place for family and friends, while each living space frames views to the gardens and countryside beyond. A true connection to nature is felt throughout the home, with generous windows and French doors leading out to the mature landscaped gardens, where sweeping lawns, established planting, and sheltered seating areas create a peaceful outdoor haven.

A decked terrace with pergola and sun-drenched patio, provide ideal spots for al fresco dining or quiet morning coffee, while the surrounding pasture paddocks add to the sense of seclusion and rural lifestyle. Practicality is thoughtfully integrated, with outside storage and undercroft parking completing this beautifully balanced home.

Set amidst glorious scenery with complete privacy, yet within easy reach of local amenities and transport links, Sitchfield offers an exceptional opportunity to embrace refined countryside living in one of South Shropshire's most picturesque locales - a home where heritage craftmanship meets comfort, space and natural splendour.

Location - The property is situated in the tranquil and historic hamlet of Hopesay. It lies in a valley between Burrow Hill and Hopesay Hill in the scenic Shropshire Hills area and enjoys a peaceful country living environment of rolling hills and quiet lanes, great for walkers and nature lovers. However, local centres are not too distant, with the railway line and A49 road located at Craven Arms (3 miles) and north to the bustling towns of Shrewsbury and Ludlow (23 miles and 13 miles respectively) which provide a wider range of amenities and services.

Services - Mains water and electricity are connected. Private drainage. Oil central heating and wood stove.

NOTE: None of the services or installations have been tested by the Agents.
