Designed, restored and renovated to an exceptional standard in 2015 by the current owners, The Coach House is a property of immense character and charm in a highly desirable location and within an historic private estate. Forming a family home, plus large annexe currently used as two award-winning boutique holiday cottages, this property has been featured by UK property guru Sarah Beeny and seen on Channel 4, Netflix, The Guardian, The Daily Mail, and Homebuilding & Renovating Magazine.
LOCATION
Nestled on the Long Mynd in the stupendous Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this individual lifestyle property is blessed with myriad local walking, hiking and cycling routes from the door and a sense of solitude, whilst at the same time being near to the historic market towns of Shrewsbury (20 minutes’ drive) and Church Stretton (10 minutes).
THE COACH HOUSE
A private drive with lake views deliver you to the property. Once entered, this home’s warm, welcoming atmosphere immediately engages. Unique design and rustic tradition combine to create a sitting room full of conversation points, with a wood burning stove, exposed beams, and underfloor heating that serves the entire downstairs.
An exposed original stone walkway reveals a kitchen diner for the ages. Impressive Calacatta marble worktops—sourced and imported from Italy—set the tone. The Neff induction hob, Smeg double oven and double Belfast sink continue the quality. Floor to ceiling French doors maximise light, leading to a fossilised sandstone terrace and gardens beyond.
Upstairs, the large master bedroom & en suite enchant with exposed beams and redwood vaulted ceilings. Along the landing two further double bedrooms continue the aesthetic, with the family bathroom central.
THE COTTAGES
Adjacent to the Coach House lies a highly versatile and flexible annexe –– currently forming two luxurious holiday cottages –– but which could become further residential or multi-generational living accommodation, homeworking space, or provide a mix of uses. Dove Cottage is the larger, comprising two en suite bedrooms either side of a family room with full kitchen. Wren Cottage completes the picture and features one en suite bedroom, and a sitting room with full kitchen. Both cottages enjoy wood burning stoves, French doors onto more sandstone terracing, and are routinely booked all year round. This property therefore provides a unique opportunity to acquire a successful business, as well as a beautiful country home.
The Coach House and holiday cottages frame a secluded courtyard garden. This rare feature provides a professionally landscaped all-day sun trap to appreciate this location’s abundant natural beauty.
THE GARDENS
The lower gardens feature a lawned area, further terracing and wood stores. Two guest parking spaces add to two more on the north side of The Coach House, easily reverting to lawn.
VILLAGE INN
10 minutes’ walk away is The Bottle & Glass, a quintessentially English 17th century village inn and the centre of this strong and storied community, serving local ales and excellent food.
