Outside
Goat House occupies a countryside position, affording some cracking views, and positioned between sought-after Clun and Bishops Castle. The private track winds down into the valley and up to the house. Outbuildings including a double carport, a barn with workshop/stable and store/shed are close to the house. The gardens surround the house to 3 sides, easily accessed from the house. The farmstead occupies a reasonably central position within the land, offering excellent control. The whole is bordered by hedgerows and interspersed by mature firs, ash, oaks and beech, enjoying far-reaching views. The pastureland is fenced, giving plenty of opportunity for keeping livestock. The flattest land is above the house. A small stream meanders through the bottom of the valley. Altogether, a bucolic Shropshire small holding!
