We have thoroughly enjoyed our time here at Laburnum House since December 2004. Several major improvement projects have made life here more convenient and contemporary without detracting from the origins of this unique home. Situated on a single-track road, we have benefitted from limited traffic flows, allowing opportunities for walking and cycling in the clean Shropshire air.
The village hall hosts many regular events throughout the year including yoga, 'flix in the sticks' blockbuster films, parish council meetings, beer festivals, playschool activities and various charity fundraising events.
