About this property
Tucked away on the outskirts of Minsterley in Shropshire, is this lovely, two-bedroom detached barn conversion, Linden Barn. Enjoying a fantastic location on the grounds of the owner’s home, with views of the paddock and resident horses, as well as exceptional views of the Shropshire Hills AONB which backs the property, Linden Barn is a fabulous dwelling for couples or a family of four seeking a getaway to the countryside. Step into the contemporary kitchen/diner, where you can look forward to whipping up mouth-watering meals, ready to savour at the dining table for four over a bottle of wine or alfresco out on your very own private patio, where you can truly experience dinner with a view!
After dinner, retire to the sitting room, where you can kick-back and relax on the plush seating whilst selecting a film from the TV as the evening’s entertainment. After a day of hiking through the Shropshire Hills AONB, soothe your muscles with a soak in the bath or wash away the day with a refreshing shower; there is also a heated towel rail to keep your towel warm. As your eyes grow heavy, retreat to one of two beautifully decorated double bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room and both offering plenty of storage. Take a stroll through the well-kept grounds of the owner's home, where you'll be greeted by a number of friendly ponies who are eager to meet you!
In Minsterley, head to the Crown and Sceptre Inn for a refreshing pint and a delicious pub lunch, and if the timing is right, you might catch an event being held at Minsterley Parish Hall.

Be sure to make a stop at Snailbeach where you will find the Snailbeach Lead Mine and Stiperstones offering wildlife rich walks through its popular nature reserve.

Owners live very close and were very friendly without being intrusive. No pub in walking distance but this didn't bother us. Ideal for visiting Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth, Oswestry, Ironbridge. Loads of information leaflets on things to do.

Lindenâs Barn is a stunning property very clean and comfortable and beautifully decorated and had everything you need. The grounds are so well maintained with beautiful views of the countryside. Never had a welcome basket like it and we have been to many properties over the years. Lots of lovely places to visit nearby. We would highly recommend this property if you want a peaceful, comfortable break, a little piece of heaven.
