General Remarks - The Stable forms one of a small select development of traditional stone and timber barns which were converted in the late 1980’s. Works were completed to a high standard and with great sympathy to the original building, retaining a wealth of original stonework, wall and ceiling timbers, which are still on show throughout. Whilst some of the fittings require updating, the living spaces are still beautiful with high or vaulted ceilings, giving that extra sense of space to the first floor rooms. What particularly sets the fabulous family home apart, is its genuinely stunning location on the edge of this ever popular village with its good sized mature gardens which are stocked with a multi-coloured array of shrubs, trees, plants and flowers. What’s more, the outstanding views over acres of unspoilt farmland and woodland, hills, are truly gorgeous.

Situation - The Stable occupies an enviable position on the very edge of this delightful South Shropshire village. The surrounding area is full of scenic landscapes and is a mecca for walkers and cyclists . The village is well served with a strong community spirit which supports the excellent village hall, community shop, public house, church and primary school. The nearest town of Bishops Castle is just 4 miles away, the nearest station is in Craven Arms and the larger towns of Shrewsbury and Ludlow are within comfortable motoring distance.

The House - This stone and timber clad barn was converted in the late 1980’s and provides comfortable accommodation to include an entrance porch into the fabulous hall with a vaulted ceiling to the balconied landing and a host of original structural wall timbers on display. These stunning themes of original timber features continue throughout. There is a spacious living room with its stone inglenook fireplace, wood burner and glorious country views and the ground floor continues into the dining room with open beams to the kitchen, both enjoying the views over the garden and beyond. The adjoining utility runs back to the hall with a cloaks/WC and access to the integral garage.

Off the first floor landing with its impressive timber work, lies the master bedroom with its en-suite shower and long range views over corn fields and woodland. The further three bedrooms are all well proportioned and have similar views and a high ceiling wall timbered finish, whilst the main bathroom completes the internal accommodation.

Outside - The grounds are no less impressive and enjoy a particularly sunny southerly aspect with beautiful views over fields towards Walcot Hall. To say the gardens have been a labour of love would be an understatement. They have been cultivated to produce a myriad of colour with literally thousands of shrubs, plants and flowers.

The property is approached over a well kept shared private road with a gravelled parking area to the front of the integral garage and a larger stone paved forecourt with space for several cars. From here, a small lawn and path lead to the main garden which runs along the south and western sides of the house. These are particularly private and offer any number of seating areas including a screened pergola which looks over the neighbouring cornfields. A pretty stream runs along the southern boundary, adding greatly to the character of the gardens. A paved terrace provides excellent spaces for al fresco dining and entertaining. There is also a range of useful workshops and wood stores which can be accessed from the private road as it passes through the carriageway of the linked barn.
