Converted in 1990, this barn retains all the soul and character of its seventeenth-century origins. Exposed beams and vaulted ceilings run throughout, while a galleried staircase and landing give the interior a sense of real drama and scale. Every room speaks to the building's age, without ever feeling like a museum piece — this is a family home first, with history woven quietly through it.
At the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen and dining room is anchored by an oil-fired AGA, set beneath quarry tiling, with a separate oven and gas hob for everyday cooking. It flows naturally into a generous dining area, made for long lunches and family gatherings. The sitting room, with its own vaulted ceiling and wooden flooring, is warmed by a Clearview wood-burning stove, and an adjacent study offers a quiet spot to work or retreat. A well-fitted utility room with solid units and a Belfast sink, plus a ground-floor cloakroom WC, complete the practical heart of the house.
The principal bedroom is a genuine highlight — an en-suite bathroom and walk-in dressing room accompany a large Velux window that frames the surrounding countryside beautifully. Four further bedrooms follow, one with its own en-suite shower room and sitting area, kitchen and separate access with balcony.— a rare and flexible arrangement, well suited to multi-generational living or letting, subject to the usual consents.

The gardens and grounds are the property's quiet triumph — tranquil, idyllic, and largely laid to lawn, with borders and shrubs that have clearly been tended with real care over the years. They extend to around an acre.
A wooded area with a running stream borders the garden, drawing in local wildlife and lending the whole plot a wonderfully secluded, natural feel.
A kitchen garden with poly tunnel, fruit cage and raised beds offers scope for real self-sufficiency, while a wood store, workshop and further stores provide ample practical space.
-
The property occupies one of the most beautiful and tranquil settings in the rolling Shropshire hills, surrounded by open countryside and unspoilt rural views. The nearby village of Clunton offers a pub and church, while the market towns of Craven Arms and Ludlow provide excellent day-to-day amenities, including shops, pubs, restaurants and more.
For wider leisure, shopping and facilities, the historic towns of Ludlow and Shrewsbury are easily reached, offering the best of both worlds — rural seclusion with excellent connectivity.
