Description

The town is surrounded by good walking country. It is 4 miles from Offa's Dyke and the Long Mynd. Ludlow and Shrewsbury are within easy distance. And it is about 60 miles from the Welsh coast and Snowdonia.

The house is available to rent for self-catering holidays all year (weeks and weekends).

You can see more details about the house and the surrounding locality, and photographs of the exterior and interior of the house, on this website.

This old street house has its origins in the 17th century, but large parts were rebuilt in the 19th century. It has some exposed beams and some original tiled and flagstone floors. There is a rough plan and photographs on the Pictures page.

The property has a spacious living room, with inglenook fireplace containing a powerful wood burning stove, chairs and sofas and a television. A kitchen/dining room, with a fitted kitchen, electric hob and oven, a dishwasher, a microwave and a fridge/freezer. It also has a large airer for drying clothes. Five bedrooms: Bedrooms A and B have double beds; Bedroom C has two 3 ft beds; Bedroom D has a 4 ft double bed (narrower than the usual 4ft 6", but possible for very good friends) plus a 3 ft bed; Bedroom E is very small and has one 3 ft bed. Two bathrooms: the upstairs bathroom has a bath, basin and lavatory; the downstairs bathroom has a shower, lavatory and a basin, and also a washer/dryer for clothes.

The house is at the end of a terrace and backs onto a mews courtyard (not suitable for ball games), facing an old stone stables (used as a storeroom, locked and not safe for children), and other outbuildings. Our "garden/field" (very suitable for ball games, about 10 yards by 50 yards, surrounded by hedges) is about 50 yards down a footpath past the house.

Heating is by night storage heaters and by electric heaters, as well as by the wood-burning stove. The water is heated by off-peak electricity (a boost is available during the day). Uncovered duvets are provided. You are welcome to bring your own linen. Should you wish for beds to be made up for you with our duvet covers/sheets/pillow cases, this can be arranged at a cost of £4.00 per bed. Telephone calls are metered and charged at 5 pence per unit. Because BT are discontinuing metered calls, from early 2008 we shall instead provide a payphone.

Furnishings are in keeping with a comfortable (rather than a smart) holiday home. The house is best with only 8 visitors, though it can sleep up to 9.Due to relatively steep stairs and steps down to the kitchen/dining room, the house is not suitable for disabled people, although "active elderly" will have little problem. ... read more »hide »
