About this property
Nestled at the foot of the Wrekin in a wonderfully scenic, secluded spot, this beautiful Grade II-listed 18th-century converted mill offers a peaceful escape ideal for families and friends keen to uncover the beauty and heritage at the heart of rural Shropshire. The quaint village of Cluddley is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to several historic buildings, including the breathtaking 12th-century St. Chad's Church, as well as a thriving community atmosphere. Carve through the unspoilt Shropshire countryside on foot or two wheels from the doorstep or head to Buildwas Abbey (7 miles) or the National Trust’s Attingham Park (7.5 miles away) to explore 200 acres of parkland and a magnificent Regency mansion. Those who love life on the water can head to nearby Ironbridge Gorge (7.5 miles) to hire a kayak canoe, kayak or mini raft to embark on a scenic adventure down the River Severn with Shropshire Raft Tours.
Sympathetically restored, maintaining the authentic character of the original mill building, this rustic retreat is reminiscent of times past and boasts a truly warming atmosphere that’ll capture your imagination. Featuring the carefully restored workings of the original mill, the quaint sitting room, which is nestled in the mill’s original tower, is steeped in heritage. The first of two cosy lounges has a roaring wood burner and gorgeous exposed ceiling beams which set the scene for evenings of pure relaxation. The second spacious lounge, which opens into a delightful conservatory, combines bucolic charm with homely touches. Boasting contemporary country cottage-style décor, the well-equipped kitchen will inspire you to get creative with your fabulous local produce; there is plenty of room in the dining room next door to enjoy your efforts with the whole family too. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms – one king-size, one double and one twin, which feature handsome period features and wonderful views. A characterful family bathroom and small games room housed on the first floor of the tower complete this characterful retreat.
From sunrise to sunset, the extensive garden spanning over 1.5 acres is a haven of tranquillity; enjoy dining alfresco on the patio area as children let off some steam playing garden games on the lawn. Private off-road parking for up to four cars.
