Set within about four acres of paddocks, orchard and mature gardens, Beeches is an attractive stone farmhouse offering spacious family accommodation and long unspoilt views across South Shropshire. The house retains character features — sash windows, fireplaces, wooden floorboards and a farmhouse-style kitchen — while the large steel-framed, timber-clad barn provides substantial ancillary space and workshop potential.
The house is believed to date from the 18th century with later additions; the current owners have already carried out several key works including a new slate roof, new windows, electrical rewiring and upgraded insulation. Heating is modernised with an air-source heat pump and underfloor system, reducing reliance on fossil fuels for everyday use. The farmhouse layout is flexible over multiple floors (including a cellar), suited to family living or home-working.
Outside the plot is a major asset: sweeping gravel driveway, extensive parking, greenhouses, paddocks with spring water supply and specimen planting, all providing privacy and scope for ancillary uses. The barn, with mezzanine level and large double doors, could store machinery, be used for stabling or be a candidate for conversion subject to planning consent.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: drainage is to a private system, services are reported but untested, and the property is in Council Tax band F (expensive). While many structural and external upgrades have been completed, the interior still offers scope for updating to modern tastes. Any proposed change of use or conversion of outbuildings will require the relevant consents.
