About this property

Market Drayton 3 miles. A lovely, semi-detached, red brick farmhouse dating back to the 17th century, in a delightful rural setting, just three miles from Market Drayton in Shropshire. Set in the middle of grazing pastures on the owners’ 50 acre working stock farm, this superb, eco-friendly cottage has been lovingly renovated to offer quality accommodation throughout, with breathtaking views across to the owners’ wildlife lake. Upon entering you will appreciate the spacious layout, with an open plan living space divided by an impressive central staircase with a half landing splitting the stairs up to the first floor. The bespoke kitchen is well equipped with all you would expect from such a luxury property, with a farmhouse table providing a fantastic entertaining area for family meals, whilst the sitting room offers a welcoming area to sit in comfy leather sofas and plan the following day's activities. The first floor provides a mezzanine seating area with a spacious viewing gallery and Juliet balcony, which offers a full-height gable window from which you can enjoy far-reaching and undisturbed views across the garden and fields to the lake. The mezzanine level also provides a quiet reading area and a chill-out zone and a second dining area. The bedrooms are stylishly finished and two offer the benefits of en-suite facilities in addition to the ground floor wet room. Outside the cottage you will find patio and lawn seating areas with a garden, offering you ample areas to find some peace and tranquillity with a good book. This location benefits from a lack of light pollution giving plenty of opportunity to star gaze on clear nights or watch wonderful sunsets. You have access from the pretty lawns onto the fields to the lake, where you can enjoy the numerous waterfowl and birds that stop on migration or nest in the surrounding woodland. This cottage is a superb touring base for visiting a range of Shropshire market towns, wonderful shopping and restaurants in Shrewsbury and the magnificent countryside of North Wales. The historic city of Chester and its famous zoo make a great day out. . With many walks from the doorstep, and access onto nearby cycle routes, this stylish cottage is the perfect place for a relaxing break, at any time of year. This property is also excellent for birdwatching on a private lake.

The small market town of Market Drayton stands on the River Tern in north Shropshire. With many excellent shops, pubs and restaurants to discover, this is a wonderful area to explore. The Shropshire Union Canal and the Regional Cycle Route 75 run through the town, making this town an excellent base for walkers and cyclists.

  • Helen

    The travel directions provided by the owner were very useful. It is a great farm house with superb views on a working property with the owner onsite next door. A good base to explore Shropshire and its surrounds.

  • Peter

    One of the most well equipped houses we have stayed in. As other reviewers have said, the farm track /road to the farm is rough, but taken at a sedate pace it was not a problem.

  • Benjamin

    House was amazing. So comfortable, warm and cosy. Perfect place to unwind after a long day. Kitchen well equipped. Plenty of space to chill, drink a beer and enjoy the views. Highly recommend. Would be perfect for a family getaway also.
