2 Bed Cottage in Northwood

About this property

Set on a working farm in the Shropshire countryside and close to the England/Wales border, this red-brick barn conversion offers a charming base for couples and small families planning rural adventures together. Step out each day to explore the local area and start by greeting the resident cattle and sheep that add to the rural charm. The host village of Northwood offers a traditional pub/restaurant, perfect for a post-walk pint or a hearty meal on the evenings you don’t fancy cooking. Further afield, the market town of Whitchurch (8 miles) beckons with its beautiful Georgian architecture, as do the bustling medieval streets of Shrewsbury (15 miles) – the birthplace of Charles Darwin and home to a castle, abbey, and museums. A trip to historic Oswestry (15 miles) promises a wide choice of weekly markets boasting local produce, as well as a unique visit to the Old Oswestry Hillfort.

Before stepping into this welcoming barn conversion, take a moment to appreciate its charming red-brick exterior and the peaceful surrounding countryside that sets the scene for a rural escape. Head inside and be greeted by a well-appointed kitchen/diner set beneath a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams. Find all you need here to cook up holiday feasts using the produce you sourced at the local markets; enjoy the chef’s work at the wooden dining table or take your plates outside to dine alfresco when the weather allows. After each meal, move through to the lounge to let stomachs settle; sink into the choice of soft seating, flick on the Smart TV, or simply admire the countryside views through the arched French doors. At the end of each day away, two restful bedrooms offer a great night’s sleep. The first is on the ground floor, offering a double bed and a sleek en-suite shower room – ideal for guests with limited mobility. The second bedroom is up on the first floor, featuring an inviting super-king-size bed and another en-suite shower room, meaning no bathroom queues each morning.

Outside, to the rear of the property, awaits a sun-soaked and enclosed garden perfect for unwinding. Gather at the furnished patio to fire up the BBQ and savour an al fresco meal, enjoy garden games on the lawn, and benefit from ample off-road parking, making arrival and day trips a breeze.
