Church Farm comprises two distinct properties: an early mid-16th century property with five bedrooms, and a beautiful barn conversion located in an area of outstanding natural beauty in Shropshire, near Bishop's Castle.
The main property is a Grade II listed house whose principal period features include flagstone floors, beamed ceilings, fireplaces and wooden windows and window seats. The kitchen is light and airy, and the five bedrooms are all characterful, and versatile in terms of configuration. It is also worth noting that, while full of charm, the property does require some modernisation.
The barn conversion is a stunning one bedroom apartment on the top floor, with one single, very large open plan reception room with breathtaking views. The barn features some beautiful oak beams and handmade limed oak floors, and also benefits from two large sitting rooms and a galley kitchen. The ground floor is currently used as workshops and an office.

The gardens form a lovely backdrop to the properties and are made up of lawn, an apple walkway, a pond and an orchard full of a rare species of apple. Outbuildings consist of an unconverted barn, a log store and a garden shed.
Church Farm is situated in the Shropshire hamlet of More, near Bishops Castle in Shropshire. Bishops Castle provides many local shops and services typical of a small market town; Ludlow is just 15 miles.
The guide price is £1.2m. For further information please contact Knight Frank on 01432 273 087 or visit www.knightfrank.co.uk.
