High Clear Barn is a substantial four-bedroom barn conversion set in nearly 8 acres of paddock and woodland, offering far-reaching Shropshire countryside views and genuine equestrian or smallholding potential. The main house combines vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a large open-plan kitchen/dining room with practical modern fittings, while a separate laundry/boot room, two reception areas and a master suite with vaulted ceiling provide flexible family living. An extensive steel-framed three-bay agricultural barn (approx. 45ft x 40ft) with power and lighting adds valuable secure storage or stable space.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators; the property has double glazing fitted since 2002, but the original granite walls are assumed uninsulated and may need upgrading for improved energy efficiency. Broadband is very slow here, and mobile signal is only average — factors to consider for home-working. The drive is private but the neighbouring property has a right of access via the driveway; a public footpath runs along the woodland edge and access drive.
The land is a major asset: formal gardens, paddocks securely fenced with mature hedging, and a woodland belt with three natural pools. The pasture area to the east is subject to an overage clause restricting development above one residential property; this preserves rural character but limits building potential. Mains water and electricity are connected, with private drainage; buyers should verify services and boundaries with their surveyor and solicitor.
This home will suit buyers seeking a private country lifestyle, equestrian opportunities or a family home with substantial grounds. It offers ready-to-enjoy accommodation with clear scope for energy upgrades, landscaping or further equestrian development within the planning and overage constraints.
