Set within an idyllic rural hamlet, The Stook is a substantial Grade II Listed barn conversion offering more than 3,000 sqft of flexible living space. Renovated in 2004 and presented with many original timbers, vaulted ceilings and large windows, it combines period character with modern fixtures — including a bespoke oak staircase, three reception rooms and a garden room that frames open countryside views. The layout suits family life and home working: four double bedrooms (principal with en suite), two further shower rooms and a generous galleried landing. Garage, workshop and ample parking sit alongside very large, landscaped gardens with pond and summerhouse.
The property’s strengths are its scale, setting and character: expansive reception spaces, flagged stone and oak floors, a multifunctional office/summerhouse and a detached garage/workshop. The south‑westerly rear gardens with terraces, pergola and water feature offer private outdoor entertaining and wide views over adjoining fields. Practical features include oil‑fired central heating and loft storage over the garage.
Buyers should note material drawbacks factually. The barn’s Grade II Listing will restrict alterations and may complicate future works or extensions. Heating is by oil which can be more expensive than mains gas, council tax is described as expensive, and broadband speeds are very slow — a significant consideration for remote working. The property occupies a quiet, remote setting with average mobile signal; routine journeys and some services require travel to nearby Pontesbury or Shrewsbury.
This is a characterful, chain‑free family home for buyers who prioritise space, privacy and countryside living and who accept listed‑building constraints and rural service limitations. Its versatile rooms and extensive outdoor space also offer potential for hobbyists, contributors to small‑scale farming, or those seeking a home with distinct historic character.
