It is no wonder that the owners of The Barn House in Beckbury, near Shifnal, have hearts hanging on the wall and on the sofa of the living room.
This is a house that is easy to fall in love with.
The combination of part of a Victorian cottage and part of an 18th century barn has resulted in a charming village home that is understandably Grade II listed.
A double storey extension has been added to the rear to create even more living and sleeping space.
Inside it boasts both period features and modern fittings.
The history of the house is most evident in the impressive drawing room which is within the former barn. This has a wonderful vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and log burner in an inglenook fireplace. Two sets of French doors lead from this room out onto a sheltered terrace to the back.
Two further receptions rooms that formed part of the cottage are currently used as a sitting room and study/playroom.
The double storey extension was added by the current owners and houses the kitchen/dining room. Handmade fitted units, granite worktops and integrated appliances line the walls, along with a central island. More French doors lead out from the dining area to the terrace and garden beyond.
Additional storage and space for white goods can be found in the utility room. There is also a guest cloakroom.
On the first floor there are four bedrooms.
The master bedroom has a dressing room and an en suite with bath and separate walk-in shower.
A family bathroom with bath and separate walk-in shower serves the other bedrooms.
The property also has a garage to the back with another bedroom and en suite shower room.
Mature private gardens are laid to lawn with pretty planted borders. There is a paved terrace and raise seating area immediately to the back of the house.
The village of Beckbury has its own primary school and pub, The Seven Stars. The surrounding villages of Albrighton, Worfield and Shifnal offer a further selection of primary and secondary schools, pubs, restaurants and shops.
Bridgnorth is eight miles away and has lots of historical buildings, and a famous funicular railway that connects the upper and lower parts of the town.
The Barn House is also within a 45 minute drive of Birmingham.
