About this property
Trefonen 2.7 miles. Next to the owner's house on a working sheep farm, this beautiful detached barn conversion, The Old Cart House, has been carefully built, providing everything you could want in a holiday home. Separated from the owner's farmhouse by a wall to provide you with your own space, you can find a property suitable for a small family or a couples retreat, with ample parking and some sheep as neighbours! After you have reached the property up the single farm track, park up and head in through the glass doors, into the open-plan living space, with underfloor heating throughout, you will soon be warmed up. Unpack your food in the kitchen and decide what's on the evening menu, before using the excellent appliances to cook a delicious meal in this spacious and well-decorated room. Serve up on the dining table for a quality sit-down meal, and afterwards retire to the sitting area in front of the flat-screen TV, perfect for putting on a group-favourite film in the evening. Downstairs is also home to a sparkling shower room, so there won't be any waiting in line for the bathroom in the morning. Upstairs, discover the two bedrooms; a king-size and a twin 2' 6" which can convert to a king size on request, with the king-size featuring a door to the external staircase down the side of the house, as well as the family bathroom containing a bath with shower over. Enjoy the use of wardrobes in each delightful room, with the property also benefiting from space to store bikes or a caravan. The Old Cart House can provide you with walks and countryside on your doorstep for an excellent Shropshire break.

The property was superb, very clean and well presented. Our hosts, met us as we arrived and offered help if needed. Pete even took us on a tour of the farm. We enjoyed the weather, walks and countryside peace. Thank you Sarah & Pete for offering this property for others to enjoy.

The location and the surrounding area is perfect, and Sarah and Pete are so kind and helpful and certainly go above and beyond for their guests. We had one of the best holidays here and would highly recommend to others and will definitely return in the future.
