Eudon George, Bridgnorth, Shropshire, WV16

Completed in 1618, Eudon George Manor is an important and beautifully presented Jacobean manor house. Recorded in the Domesday book there has been a dwelling on this site since the 11th century. Having fallen into disrepair, the property was restored to its former glory in the 1980's using skilful, traditional building techniques and materials. Improvements and careful custodianship have continued since, preserving one of the finest examples of this period of property.

The entrance hallway allows access to the drawing room and dining room, both with magnificent leaded windows and stone fireplaces. Beyond the dining room is the kitchen breakfast room with range of solid wood units topped with granite, an oil-fired AGA, and access to the back stairs. An inner hallway connects the Sitting room, utility room and WC.

Stairs rise from the inner hallway to the first floor which consists of four bedrooms and three beautifully appointed bathrooms, all with delightful views over the grounds. As second stair rises to the second floor where the fifth bedroom and large loft room are found.

Eudon George Barn
Having undergone a sympathetic scheme of conversion, completed by the current owners in 2018, the barn at Eudon George offers versatile accommodation across two floors. The entrance leads into a large, vaulted space that can either complement the house as an ancillary building/party barn or, offer a superb sitting/dining room for the barn. There is a beautifully appointed kitchen with a range of units, a peninsula island, and an adjacent sitting area with views over the grounds. Stairs rise to a double bedroom with wonderful vaulted, beamed ceilings and an en suite bathroom. The planning permissions allow for further development of this building and up to three bedrooms if required. Planning reference 11/05804/LBC.
