About this property

Hidden away down your own private driveway, gather loved ones and enjoy sublime sunsets that melt over the rolling Welsh Hills in front of you. Thoughtfully designed to maximise the magnificent 360-degree rural views, this beautifully detached and private farmhouse is tucked away in the magical setting of Downton Estate; perfect for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The estate comprises 5,000 acres of picturesque English countryside and is divided by the River Teme, which cuts through a deep limestone gorge on its way from the Welsh Hills to the Severn Estuary, a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. If you're celebrating a special occasion, don't miss a visit to The Old Downton Lodge—an award-winning fine dining gem nestled in a charming 18th-century farmhouse on the estate. Here, guests are treated to an exquisite culinary experience, with an exclusive 10% off dinner for guests. The historic market town of Ludlow (8mls) offers a medieval castle, bustling farmers market and food centre full of local produce to discover.

Consciously designed and bathed in an abundance of natural sunlight, the breathtaking scenery that surrounds you never feels too far away, no matter where you are in the property. At the heart of this home-from-home, the expansive open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner perfectly combines elegant contemporary décor with the original farm building features, all while framing stunning rural vistas through the bi-fold patio door. The beautifully high vaulted ceiling adds a sense of grandeur, while the soothing neutral colour palette harmonises with the vibrant hues of the landscape outside, inviting you to relax and unwind after a day of adventure. Sharing the same peaceful atmosphere as the rest of this rural retreat, the three en-suite bedrooms on offer, one super-king-size and two doubles, boast wonderfully green views to wake up to, as well as crisp, white linens that ensure a dreamy rest.

From sunrise to sunset, the expansive enclosed garden offers a haven of tranquillity to escape to, from enjoying your morning coffee from the comfort of the gravelled patio to dining alfresco with magnificent views towards the Welsh Hills as your backdrop. Those travelling with dogs can enjoy the large lawn. There is private parking for two cars in the carport, with space to park an additional three cars.
