The area is also rich in National Trust houses and gardens that open throughout the year, and for historians why not visit Powis or Stokesay Castle. 

Take in the views across the orchard of mature fruit trees before stepping into this beautifully finished barn. A spacious lounge/kitchen/diner offers a warm welcome, with vaulted ceilings show casing exposed beams and brick work that complement the contemporary colours and furnishings that the owner has carefully chosen. The lounge area is the perfect place to relax, light the wood burner on a chilly evening, curl up with a book or enjoy a good film on the TV. The kitchen/diner is open to the lounge with a well-equipped kitchen that’s great for a simple supper with an electric oven and induction hob, microwave, fridge with ice compartment, dishwasher and washing machine. There is a simple breakfast bar with stools just perfect for dining. And when the day is done there is a king-size bedroom with views onto the gardens, there is also a shower room with shower and WC on the ground floor.

It's a lovely property, in a quiet, peaceful location. Very comfortable with all the appliances you could wish for. Craven Arms and Ludlow are within easy reach as are the many walks in the area. It's a great spot from which to plan your holiday. If you're into walking I highly recommend 'Walking the old ways of southern Shropshire' and the OrdinanRead morece Survey app. The many restaurants in Ludlow cater for all tastes. Shrewsbury and Hereford are only a short train ride away. Hide
