About this property

Knockin 1.9 miles. Settled amidst the rolling countryside of Shropshire, a short distance from the charming market town of Oswestry, rests this black and white Tudor-style holiday home, Maesbury Manor. Boasting a spacious and homely interior benefiting from two ground-floor bedrooms, specially-equipped with hoists and accessible en-suite wet rooms, Maesbury Manor makes an excellent choice for an escape to the country that the whole family can enjoy. A sweeping in-and-out driveway greets you at the foot of this substantial holiday home, adjoined with the owner's home and enveloped by rural greenery. Entering the property, the entrance hallway has been adapted to ensure ample space for those with limited mobility, and offers handy storage space to store your belongings away from the main living areas. A day packed full of adventure calls for rest, so move through the property and into the sitting room, where you can kick back and unwind as your favourite show plays on the television. When stomachs start to rumble, discover the well-equipped kitchen, beautifully-appointed with contemporary fixtures and housing all of the essential amenities to assist with a self-catered break. Uncork a bottle of wine and gather together at the dining table to indulge in the fruits of your labour before making the most of your peaceful, countryside setting and carrying the conversation outdoors and into the late evening. When sleep calls, you'll find the first of two bedrooms on the ground floor, each equipped with twin beds and benefiting from access to their very own en-suite wet room and a hoist to assist with accessibility. Climbing the stairs to the first floor you'll discover a sumptuous super-king-size bedroom, a double and an additional twin, with a stylish shower room set across the way. Take a break from doing the cooking and treat your loved ones to an indulgent meal at The Navigation Inn, set just moments away from your doorstep and serving a menu of homecooked fare prepared with ethical and local produce; it's picture-perfect, waterside setting offers a truly idyllic spot to dine out or enjoy an afternoon tipple. For a change of scenery, you'll find the Bradford Arms, another traditional country pub, in nearby Knockin, along with a well-stocked convenience store, ideal for stocking up on goodies to enjoy from the comfort of your holiday home. Jump in the car and travel the short distance to Oswestry, where you can explore its medieval castle, board a heritage steam-hauled train at the Cambrian Railway Museum, or tour the fascinating history of the local area at Oswestry Town Museum. Peaceful afternoons can be spent amongst the greenery of the Mile End Golf Club, whilst those looking for a more exhilarating experience may prefer to visit the Forge Falconry Experience Centre. There's plenty more to see and do nearby, with the bustling town of Shrewsbury and historic city of Chester within easy reach, along with the Shropshire Hills AONB for those looking to immerse themselves in the great outdoors. Choose Maesbury Manor as the base for your next group celebration.

Knockin is a charming village nestled between Shrewsbury and Oswestry, close to the English/Welsh border. The community is home to the 12th century St. Mary's Church, the Bradford Arms tavern with exceptional food, and the legendary village store named "The Knockin Shop." Beautiful Shropshire and Mid Wales may be explored from here, including ancient Ludlow, Church Stretton (known as “Little Switzerland”), Lllangollen (with white water rafting) and Lake Vyrnwy and Bala.
