Searching for a house with beautiful views? Walnut Barn in Bausley has it cracked.
This refurbished country house in the Shropshire village not only has the vistas, but the perfect spot to enjoy them from.
Next to the master bedroom there is a sunroom which has windows along one wall and partway up the sloping ceiling.
Pull up a chair and just drink in the sight of countryside that stretches down the valley and as far as the horizon.
The six-bedroom country house was formerly a cottage and barn which have been combined to create one quite special residence.
It is also quite famous, according to Philip Robson of estate agent Berrys.
“As you approach Walnut Barn along its private driveway you see the house with the majestic Walnut tree to its side, made famous on You Tube by the tree climbing, squirrel-chasing Coco, the cockerpoo; ‘My Dog Climbs Trees’,” he revealed.
The house is in a rural spot, not far from the River Severn and close to the 900ft outcrop of granite called Breidden Hill, which has Rodney’s Pillar at its summit.
Following its refurbishment, the property has oak floors, skirting and doors, and underfloor heating with three independently controlled zones.
The ground floor is mostly open plan with the kitchen, dining room and sitting room all in one great space, only divided by kitchen units and a wood-burner between the lounge and dining areas.
There is also a separate utility and a cloakroom.
A wing to the side has two bedrooms, both with en suite shower rooms, and a room between them which could be used as a study or a bedroom. This could be turned into an independent annexe.
On the first floor it has three more bedrooms as well as the sunroom. The master has an en suite with both bath and shower. The family bathroom also has a bath and separate shower.
Outside there is ample parking and a three-vehicle garage with toilet and accommodation above that is currently arranged as office space and a games room.
In addition to the barn and its gardens, there is opportunity to purchase 13 acres of adjacent land by separate negotiation.
Bausley lies centrally in a triangle between the towns of Shrewsbury, Oswestry and Welshpool, within seven miles of the A5, which gives access to the M54 and motorway network.
The Mid Wales coast is less than 90 minutes away.
There is good walking and riding on nearby Breidden Hill. There are four cross country courses within easy reach, including Radfords five miles away.
Llanymynech Golf Course is nine miles away.
For twitchers, wildlife enthusiasts and photographers, the local countryside has a varied wild bird population with stone chat, curlews, green woodpeckers, kingfishers and dippers.
