Set in a quiet Cleedownton hamlet, The Hen House is a three-bedroom detached barn conversion blending period stone character with practical living. The ground floor offers a welcoming reception hall, cloakroom, open kitchen-diner with granite worktops and integrated appliances, plus a cosy living room with stone fireplace and wood burner that opens onto a flagstone patio and garden. The principal bedroom on the first floor includes fitted storage and a sizeable ensuite with underfloor heating; two further double bedrooms and a shower room complete the upper level with a useful landing study area.
Outside, a gravel driveway provides parking for up to three cars and gives access to a single garage with power and light. The generous rear garden includes mature shrub beds, orchard fruit trees and a lawned area set against wide Shropshire views toward Titterstone Clee — ideal for outdoor dining and family use. The property is freehold, in Council Tax band C, and sits in a very low-crime, rural community.
Important practical points: the house uses oil-fired central heating, private drainage via a septic tank and has double glazing installed before 2002. The building forms part of a curtilage listing, so alterations, extensions or repairs may require Listed Building Consent; prospective buyers should check permissions with the Local Authority. Broadband is limited (basic speeds circa 10 Mbps) and mobile signal is average, which is typical for remoter agricultural communities.
This home will suit buyers seeking a characterful family house or rural retreat who value privacy, views and a large garden. It also offers refurbishment potential where improving insulation and updating services could enhance comfort and long-term running costs. Note a neighbour has a right of access across the side of the property to reach their rear garden; the arrangement should be reviewed during legal enquiries.
