This former potting shed has been refurbished to the highest standards, offering a spacious open plan living space, wood burning stove, hi-spec kitchen and large bedroom with luxurious en-suite bath made for two. Set in the historic Weston Park estate which offers 1,000 acres of ‘Capability’ Brown landscaped parkland and within close proximity to the beautiful Shropshire countryside and Welsh borders.
Taking inspiration from its former use, the design scheme weaves in gentle nods to its heritage with white washed walls and quirky features, but with all the home comforts you would expect.
Entering the property through large glazed doors, the open plan living space features a hi-spec kitchen, wood burning stove, sheep skin rugs and a comfy sofa. The large bedroom has a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a bath made for two, heated floors, twin sinks and soft lighting. A secret door from the grounds leads into the historic walled garden with direct access to your very own entrance to the Granary Restaurant for you to explore and enjoy at your leisure.

The Potting Shed is by far the best cottage we have stayed in, having stayed in many cottages nationwide over the last twenty years. Beautifully clean and contemporary accommodation in a perfect setting. We would highly recommend.

A beautiful location with superb accommodation. The Potting Shed was spotlessly clean with everything you could need, including a great hamper. The views were really lovely and we had such a relaxing time. It was just so peaceful, with so many fantastic walks on the doorstep, plus a lovely bistro and coffee shop just five minutes’ walk away! We would definitely like to go back.
