Discover this characterful barn conversion, tucked away beyond country lanes in the heart of Shropshire. Designed with families and friends in mind, this stone-built barn conversion is wonderfully presented from the outside in, commencing with a beautiful diner with an extra seating area. Underfloor heating graces the property, bringing warmth to those cooler nights, with beams overseeing the layout and spotlights that give off a cosy glow. There is a sofa and a TV so you can relax here whilst preparing those home-cooked meals, with seating at the table for eight people to come together. If you can steer yourself away from the comfy set-up, why not settle down in the separate lounge; a spacious arrangement finished with homely features. A wood-burning stove and a sumptuous corner sofa provide all the seating you need for a lovely night in.
