A Georgian gem, in a pretty Shropshire village, standing in grounds of approximately 1.15 acres with a lovely garden, a paddock, stables and a detached Artists Studio.

Location - Beckbury is a charming and picturesque village which lies amidst beautiful, rolling Shropshire countryside in a peaceful location and yet is within easy reach of many, major commercial centres and the motorway network.

Description - Beckbury House is a particularly attractive family home with elegant accommodation which is beautifully presented throughout and which has been finished to the highest of standards.

The principal part of Beckbury House is believed to date from the Georgian era, possibly with earlier origins at its core and has been skilfully extended over the years to greatly enhance the scope of accommodation provided. There is the potential to utilise the existing layout to form a two storey annex making the property ideal for multi generational occupancy.
