5 bed detached house for sale

Clunton, Craven Arms, Shropshire SY7

A beautiful unique off-grid Barn Conversion in the most idyllic tranquil setting surrounded by exceptional rural views, gardens and wildlife.

Converted in 1990, this barn retains all the soul and character of its seventeenth-century origins. Exposed beams and vaulted ceilings run throughout, while a galleried staircase and landing give the interior a sense of real drama and scale. Every room speaks to the building's age, without ever feeling like a museum piece - this is a family home first, with history woven quietly through it.

At the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen and dining room is anchored by an oil-fired aga, set beneath quarry tiling, with a separate oven and gas hob for everyday cooking. It flows naturally into a generous dining area, made for long lunches and family gatherings. The sitting room, with its own vaulted ceiling and wooden flooring, is warmed by a Clearview wood-burning stove, and an adjacent study offers a quiet spot to work or retreat. A well-fitted utility room with solid units and a Belfast sink, plus a ground-floor cloakroom WC, complete the practical heart of the house.

The principal bedroom is a genuine highlight - an en-suite bathroom and walk-in dressing room accompany a large Velux window that frames the surrounding countryside beautifully. Four further bedrooms follow, one with its own en-suite shower room and sitting area, kitchen and separate access with balcony.- a rare and flexible arrangement, well suited to multi-generational living or letting, subject to the usual consents.

Situation
The property occupies one of the most beautiful and tranquil settings in the rolling Shropshire hills, surrounded by open countryside and unspoilt rural views. The nearby village of Clunton offers a pub and church, while the market towns of Craven Arms and Ludlow provide excellent day-to-day amenities, including shops, pubs, restaurants and more.

For wider leisure, shopping and facilities, the historic towns of Ludlow and Shrewsbury are easily reached, offering the best of both worlds - rural seclusion with excellent connectivity.

Outside
The gardens and grounds are the property's quiet triumph - tranquil, idyllic, and largely laid to lawn, with borders and shrubs that have clearly been tended with real care over the years. They extend to around an acre.

A wooded area with a running stream borders the garden, drawing in local wildlife and lending the whole plot a wonderfully secluded, natural feel.

A kitchen garden with poly tunnel, fruit cage and raised beds offers scope for real self-sufficiency, while a wood store, workshop and further stores provide ample practical space.
