An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

With its quaint streets lined with Victorian and Edwardian buildings, Church Stretton exudes an undeniable charm that enchants visitors and residents alike.

The House
Stepping through the front door, you’re welcomed to the warmth of the home’s character. The entrance porch, adorned with original stained glass windows, leads you into a hallway boasting Victorian tiled flooring—a testament to the property’s rich heritage.
To the left of the hallway lies the first of the reception rooms, a spacious area with a large bay window framing views of the frontage and featuring an inviting open fireplace. On the opposite side, the dining room awaits, with a feature fireplace adding to its charm.
For cosy evenings, the snug offers a retreat, with a feature red brick wall housing a wood-burning stove—an ideal spot to unwind with a good book. Adjacent, the second reception room awaits, offering a bay window and double-aspect views, complemented by an ornamental gas fireplace.
The heart of the home, the kitchen diner, offers modern convenience and timeless elegance.
