Impressive Shropshire farmhouse with separate holiday cottage and countryside views hits the market

Lower Westwood Farm in Stretton Westwood near Much Wenlock appeared on the market this week for offers in the region of £1,150,000 with Halls Estate Agents.

The property boasts an impressive outbuilding, stabling, gorgeous views and a separate annexe, all set within approximately two acres of land.

Situated in an idyllic setting in the rural hamlet of Stretton Westwood on the south side of Wenlock Edge, the farmhouse is close to the Shropshire Hills and in an area that is renowned for its outdoor pursuits and superb hiking.

The main farmhouse is described as being "beautifully presented throughout" and offering "well proportioned and well laid out" living accommodation, with three reception rooms, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. 

Along with the main house, there is also the detached two bedroom cottage/annexe called Cowis Cottage that has previously been run as a successful holiday let for several years. 

There are also stables, a tack room and an impressive steel-framed barn that has been recently constructed.

Approached through a private gated entrance that is situated at the bottom of the lane, a gravelled driveway sweeps around to the property and is bordered by lawned gardens. 

The drive continues between the house and the cottage, with an orchard behind, to the stables and then into a large gravelled courtyard to the barn with a large parking area.

"Bordered by farmland, this is a most private setting with far-reaching views down the valley," said the listing. "The stable block provides two stables and a tack room with lights and power connected, along with a large cedar clad outbuilding, extending to over 1,000 sq ft of space, offering multiple uses to include secure storage and garaging, having two roller shutter doors to the front and a personnel door to the side."

Inside the main accommodation is a "farmhouse-style bespoke kitchen/breakfast room" that is fitted with a range of wall and floor units, granite work tops, and a Belfast sink. The kitchen also has a walk-in pantry. 

Also featured is a boot room, and a backdoor gives access to the driveway, grounds and stunning, far-reaching countryside views.

The large living room enjoys an abundance of natural light with patio doors opening out to the gardens and further spectacular views.

Meanwhile, the principal bedroom suite, which includes a dressing room with a range of fitted wardrobes, offers a contemporary en-suite bathroom with oak flooring, free standing bath, vanity unit with dual-wash hand basin and a walk-in shower.

The bedroom area is said to be "a peaceful and bright space" which "benefits from elevated views".
