Situated in the rural Shropshire parish of Beckbury, this Grade II-listed village house is part Victorian cottage, part 18th century barn. The property features a double storey extension to the rear and is only one mile from the civil parsh of Ryton and within easy access of Badger, a picturesque hamlet which dates back to Anglo Saxon times.
A large drawing room sits within the former barn and exhibits period features including a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and a wood-burning stove, coupled with modern fittings. Two further reception rooms sit next to a bright, contemporary kitchen decorated with a white backdrop and a range of handmade units and granite worktops. Two sets of French windows open out to the terrace and gardens beyond.
Upstairs, this modern family home pairs classic Victorian chandeliers and rustic edges with soft, modern touches. The landing leads to four bedrooms and a master bedroom with a dressing room and en-suite bathroom including walk-in showers throughout.
The Barn House is surrounded by mature, landscape gardens. A paved terrace and raised seating area provide shelter for outdoor entertaining during the summer months and is bordered by willow trees and a wild hedgerow. The property also has useful ancillary accommodation, located to the rear of the garage and comprised of a bedroom and en-suite shower room.
