The Property

A spacious, detached stone built house with ‘upside down’ style accommodation planned to take full advantage of the superb views along the canal and surrounding countryside. The newly refurbished large open-plan living area upstairs has exposed beams and trusses and a small balcony with outdoor furniture so that visitors can relax in the evening and enjoy the scenery. By prior arrangement with the owners, guests can hire a day boat in order to explore the tranquil Shropshire Union Canal, or just sit and watch the boats (and ducks) pass by. An ideal location to ‘get away from it all’!
