Enviably located just outside the highly desirable Shropshire village of Beckbury with its beautiful picturesque houses, quaint little stone church, C of E school and renowned country pub complete with ubiquitous roaring log fire, sits in an elevated position surrounded by glorious, rolling countryside.This unique family home was, up until 1998, a very large u shaped farming property, consisting of two adjoining barns and a small farmhouse. The two barns which make up over ¾ of the overall building is the property for sale here; the farmhouse whose rear, windowless wall backs onto the central courtyard has no impact whatsoever on the privacy and the quality of Brook Farm an outstanding period barn: huge beamed vaulted ceilings, rafters and exposed timbering in the walls presenting as a huge property having enormous impact and oozing character, especially when viewed from the central court yard at the front and the lawn at the back. The side elevation which represents the first view of the property on approach up the long driveway, certainly does not do it justice and belies the overall dimensions and impressive bearing of the property.
But it is the conversion which took place between 1998 and 2002 that is so very exciting…
The majority of the large barn, at ground floor level, is now one open plan room which incorporates a fabulous kitchen dining area and lounge with a central staircase and mezzanine landing producing a dramatic focal point. With the grand, vaulted ceiling clearly a major feature here, the landing affords some cosier areas and a homely feel. The dining room off is very much a continuation of the main reception room and benefits from a lower ceiling and a charming, part exposed brick and part rendered wall with inset curved timbers, to provide a very ambient setting for a dinner party with, at the front, a view to the vaulted ceiling and a full height glazed door with windows to the side and above, affording a dramatic view of the courtyard. The incorporation of the many structural beams is inspire and provides each room with a quality and character that has been exploited to its full potential. The use of honey coloured oak for the modern editions including the stairs, doors and much of the the flooring blends so very well with the original oak and off white rendering and grey york stone adds to the period feel.
The property benefits from a high technical specification with remote controlled lighting throughout the inside and the outside of the property, underfloor heating for the entirety of the downstairs and a comprehensive irrigation system in the courtyard. There are two floor mounted boilers (one in a self contained unit outside the property) and with timber double glazed windows, all different shapes and sizes from circular to eliptical, the property is well insulated and provides energy efficiency that is as good as is practically possible with a property of this nature.Each of the 6 lovely double bedrooms has its own ensuite bath or shower room fitted with modern white suite and coordinating biscuity shades of travertine or cream tiling.
