About this property
Evenwood Granary is one of three Grade II listed barns conversions on a fabulous private farm development with panoramic views across the Shropshire Hills. This stunning two-storey dwelling, originally a working granary, has been painstakingly and sympathetically restored to provide a fabulous retreat in peaceful countryside, but within striking distance of historic and vibrant Shrewsbury.
Retaining many of the original features including troughs and stalls, the character of Evenwood Granary seamlessly blends with the modern touches and tasteful furnishings. Natural light floods each room and the far reaching rural views from all windows are simply stunning.
Set over two floors, enter into a spacious tiled entrance hall, underfloor heating throughout the ground floor gives a warm welcome when taking off you coats and boots after a day exploring. The open-plan sitting/dining area, has a cosy wood burning stove, ideal for winter evenings and full height bi-folding doors allow you to take in those spectacular views across the rolling countryside. The kitchen is fully fitted and well-equipped for even the keenest chef, with a large central island with stools making this a central hub ideal for entertaining.
Upstairs the principle suite has a king-size leather sleigh bed and an en-suite with bath and walk-in shower. Bedroom two offers the flexibility of either twin single beds, or a 6' super-king size bed can be requested if required, along with its own en-suite shower room.
If you can tear yourself away from the peace and tranquillity of this idyllic setting, nearby Shrewsbury, the historic and vibrant county town, boasts a mediaeval castle and Tudor streets full of excellent eateries and shopping. Built on a hill, the River Severn curls around it like a moat. The picturesque surrounding villages of Church Stretton, Much Wenlock and Cardington offers more excellent eating out options.

Our recent stay at Evenwood Granary was faultless. The owners have done a superb job transforming what was once a barn, and the result is outstanding. The accommodation is spacious, beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and extremely well equipped. The setting is exceptional — surrounded by peaceful countryside and wonderfully quiet. It’s an ideal base for exploring the many local attractions and enjoying walks in the Shropshire Hills.

Evenwood Granary was absolutely excellent. Our accommodation was very comfortable and spacious. The owners had equipped it with everything you’d need plus extras. Also provided with a generously filled hamper.

This really is very good quality holiday accommodation. Exceptionally clean, spacious and well equipped with the bonus of a beautiful, peaceful outlook and a super welcome hamper! The lanes around it are narrow but worth it - we found it to be a fairly central location for visiting Powis Castle, Ironbridge and the nearby National Trust properties. Shrewsbury is interesting and having a large M&S food hall there, on the right side of town, is great. We would certainly recommend the property.
