About this property

A luxury detached cottage set in the delightful village of Westhope in Shropshire. Set in a beautiful location with a sufficient space inside and out, this property is perfect for big groups in the stunning countryside. The inviting exterior with stone walls and oak window and door frames welcome you into the well-equipped, spacious kitchen, finished with stylish, modern equipment and decor. Despite being a large cottage, The Old Farmhouse has a certain homely feel to it, with a stately dining table and woodburner sat under traditional wooden beams setting it off wonderfully. The large sitting room overlooks the astounding garden and countryside beyond, whilst being complete with contemporary furniture, underfloor heating, bi-fold doors and a 50'' Smart TV; it makes the perfect chill area. The downstairs is complete with a bright and airy double bedroom and an en-suite shower room, as well as a stylish wet room, finished to an excellent standard in keeping with the property. The upstairs reveals four stunning bedrooms with charming decoration and views towards the stunning scenery. The vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and comfortable beds really make this a family and friends cottage. The garden is nothing short of sensational, beautifully landscaped with flashy furniture and a hot tub, you will do well to even leave this cottage and get into Westhope itself. The garden also contains a compact yet impressive studio living area, decorated beautifully and set away from the main building for those who like to get away. An astounding cottage in a fantastic area of England.
