This Grade II listed barn conversion is one of three homes on a small farm overlooking the picturesque Shropshire Hills. A home for all seasons, there's a cosy wood-burning stove inside for winter days and a private, south-facing garden for barbecues on summer evenings. Location-wise, the vibrant market town of Shrewsbury is just a short drive away. After something more active? Golfers can take their pick from three nearby golf clubs, while walkers can explore the Shropshire Hills or visit Attingham Park.
