The Stables Rowley Farm Worfield Bridgnorth Shropshire WV15 5NT
Seller Insight A stunning barn conversion set in an idyllic location, this four/five bedroom architect designed property was converted by the current owners into the ideal family home. I was living with my parents in the farmhouse, they say, and we needed somewhere to call our own, a home in which to raise a family. The old stables provided the perfect opportunity to create a modern, open plan lifestyle whilst retaining the personality of the building with the windows and doors as they were when the stables were in use, the owners continue. We worked around the beams in the huge oak timber frame, so there are still some beautiful pieces of exposed wood on show. A stunning bespoke oak staircase leads up from the large, open lounge, providing a centrepiece to the living space which leads up to the more enclosed bedrooms above. The adjoining barn which accompanies the property possesses huge potential for further development. I have used the neighbouring barn for storage, as well as a home office complete with electricity, bathroom facilities and staircase, says the owner, though it could be developed into another family home or dwelling with the correct planning permission. The property includes a small range of other outbuildings too, including a feed room and log store. The gardens surrounding the property are generously proportioned with great views over the countryside all around. The gardens at their best are absolutely superb, say the owners, with expansive lawns, mature shrubs, and patio and yard areas with seating for al fresco dining and enjoying the summer sun in the warmer months. There is even a paddock at the end of the garden. The Stables lies on the outskirts of Worfield, a charming and convenient Shropshire village between Wolverhampton and Bridgnorth. The village remains unspoilt having a country pub, local shop, 12th Century church, tennis and cricket clubs with various countryside walks along picturesque footpath and bridleway routes. The local area is ideal for families, with many good schools to choose from. Worfield itself has a popular school, say the owners, while our two youngest children attended Beckbury C of E Primary School in another village up the road, a smaller school known for its generous staff to student ratio and caring ethos. The market town of Bridgnorth is just a short drive away, with Telford to the north for a range of shopping and recreational facilities. Access to the M54 motorway is convenient, as are rail links to London.* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.

We love the large lounge with its fantastic fireplace and log burner, a cosy place to spend time as a family. With its large garden and huge open plan lounge, the property is perfect for entertaining, so we have hosted various parties here, sometimes with a marquee on the lawn or in the stableyard.
