About this property
This fully renovated, spacious and luxurious destination is a dream getaway for that special occasion and spending quality time with family or friends, plus canine companions. From the high-quality finishes to the range of amenities, you may never feel like going out. Set in rural Shropshire offering a central meeting point and the chance to explore both sides of the England/Wales border. Footpaths criss-cross the area, making this a great choice for walkers and cyclists, and at Alderford Lake, 3.5 miles, you can swim, hire canoes, kayaks or paddleboards, or enjoy the exhilarating aquapark. Just 5 miles away, the market town of Whitchurch boasts an array of independent shops and boutiques, Michelin-starred restaurants and traditional pubs. Both Hawkstone Golf Club and the fascinating follies at Hawkstone Park can be reached within 5 miles, while adventure seekers will want to try skydiving, karting and motocross, all within 17 miles. Historic Shrewsbury is just 16 miles.
Step into the grand entrance hall of this newly renovated farmhouse, where the impeccable modern décor and high-quality finishes are blended seamlessly with a traditional staircase and a stunning stained glass window, persevering its original character. After a day exploring the outdoors, head straight into the utility/boot room, where you can towel-dry your dogs and kick off your boots. This room also has laundry facilities and a handy WC. From here, enter the fabulous kitchen, where the cook can create marvels using top of the range equipment, while others hang out at the island, where there are high stools for six people to gather round. A raised wood burner sits within a wall that partially divides this room from the snug, which has a long, squashy sofa and a Smart TV. Enjoy the sociable aspect of this semi-open-plan space, in which both rooms are warmed by the glowing flames of the wood burner. When you’re ready to sit down for a celebratory meal, head into the separate dining room, which boasts an enormous table as well as a bar area with two bottle fridges and a wine chiller – perfect for special get-togethers. Off the spacious hallway you’ll find the welcoming lounge, which offers entrancing views of the garden and rolling countryside. This room, filled with soft seating, doubles as a cinema room and boasts an electronic projector and screen which drop down from the ceiling. With an electric wood burning effect fire, this is the perfect spot for a cosy, chilled-out evening together. Completing the ground floor is an impressive games room featuring a full-size snooker table, an arcade machine with 9,000 games, a dartboard, and a Smart TV. A wood burner keeps the space cosy during colder months, while in the summer, you can open the double doors and seamlessly extend the entertaining area out onto the patio. A state-of-the-art Bluetooth surround system flows throughout the downstairs, with different zones for the cinema room, games room and kitchen/dining area. There is a Smart TV in every room of the house, including full access to Sky. From the dining room, a door leads to a staircase and a beautifully styled king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower. The remaining six bedrooms, all just as luxurious, with rural views and plush carpets, are accessed via the main staircase in the front hall. The family room consists of a double bedroom area, with en-suite shower, and a staircase leading to a mezzanine (overlooking the bedroom, but not the bed itself) where there are twin beds. Please note that there are also two shallow steps near the entrance to this room. All the other bedrooms feature en-suite showers except for one of the twins, which has use of an elegant family bathroom.
Nestled in two separate buildings behind the property lies the highlight of the manor; your private indoor swimming pool and luxury spa. Once a humble piggery, this space has been transformed into the epitome of relaxation and indulgence. The spa boasts a soothing sauna, a refreshing cold-water plunge pool, and seating for unwinding in style. The swimming pool features bi-fold doors that open onto a sun-drenched, south-facing garden, allowing you to bask in the serene views of the picturesque meadow. Both buildings are thoughtfully equipped with changing rooms, showers, and WCs for ultimate convenience. The handsome detached getaway is set within a stunning 5-acre meadow where hares and rabbits often dart through the grasslands, and as night falls, the soothing hoots of owl’s echo from the surrounding trees. The expansive south facing patio is perfect for al fresco dining or unwinding with a glass of wine, while the fantastic outdoor kitchen invites you to experiment with local delicacies and create memorable meals as the sun starts to set. Furnished with comfortable seating and a cosy summerhouse, it’s a great spot to sit back, relax and indulge in the tranquillity of this enchanting countryside escape. Sporty types can also make use of the outdoor tennis court. There is ample private parking.
