Feel the authentic charm and age of this beautifully curated barn conversion as soon as you step into the completely open plan, single level arrangement. As you stand on the stone floor in the spacious kitchen and dining area, marvel at the impressive A-frame oak beams and exposed stone walls that run the length of the property, imagining how the building once housed cows on the farm, many centuries ago. Attention to sustainability is evident throughout your stay, with recycled materials used for the kitchen units and reworked quality furniture. A traditional farmhouse style kitchen provides ample space and equipment to cook up a romantic meal for your loved one, with locally sourced produce purchased from nearby Ludlow. Moving down the property, a quirky, stylish bathroom with traditional roll-top bath; a classic feature that exudes sophistication, is a seamless extension to the open plan living space. A privacy screen made of traditional oak beams offers a sense of seclusion without disrupting the unique, airy feel for the space. The WC however, is closed off beyond a solid wood, lockable door. Unwind in a relaxing bubble bath after a long day outdoors or use the handheld shower as a quick wake me up before a busy day of adventuring. Large sliding doors at the end of the property invite the beauty of the outdoors inside, allowing you to marvel at the stunning countryside views from the comfort of the plush sofa in the living area, or to accompany a lazy morning in your king-size bed with a freshly brewed coffee. In the colder months, close the doors and let the traditional wood-burning fire in the corner of the room warm you up while still enjoying the beautiful views that make you feel connected to the outdoors.
Outside, a small patio area with bistro table and chairs is perfect for unwinding with your drink of choice in the evening, whilst chicken and ducks wander freely around the grounds. The property is surrounded by farmer fields and is one of a few barns on site.
