Clun, Craven Arms

A characterful and individually designed detached property with stunning views and beautiful maintained terraced and lawned gardens. Comprising 4 bedrooms, 3 reception rooms, family bathroom, shower room, garage and parking.

General Remarks - Designed and created in the 1980’s, this individual, architect built house is reminiscent of those homes you would find in the alpine region of its namesake. Mont Cenise is in fact, the name of the mountain pass between the countries of France and Italy. These provinces would provide a wealth of similar examples of majestic chalet style houses sitting on hillsides with characteristic sloping roofs, large balcony and windows offering the most spectacular views of the town, including the historic Clun Castle and its pack horse bridge.

Arranged over three floors, it offers flexible and spacious accommodation with breakfast/kitchen, dining room, living room, family room, four bedrooms, bathroom and shower, garage and hall.

A most notable feature of the property are the outside spaces which are an active gardeners dream, having been meticulously maintained and landscaped to provide lawns, waterfalls and private terraces with a multitude of vantage points to take in the breathtaking views.

Situation - It is set in the heart of Clun above and on the south side of the river but retaining great privacy throughout. Clun lies in the valley of the same name in the south west corner of Shropshire and according to A. E. Houseman, was one of “the quietest places under the sun”. It actually has an incredibly strong community with events throughout the year. It is surrounded by the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is a mecca for walkers and cyclists. Apart from the excellent range of pubs, shops and cafes, the larger towns of Craven Arms and Ludlow are within comfortable motoring distance.



The House - Approached by a private drive to an integral garage, the accommodation comprises a entrance hall at the lower ground level with steps up to the main living area with its well equipped Kitchen/Breakfast with worktops, cupboards, Rangemaster cooking range and which leads through to the Dining Room with fantastic views from its large windows and on to the Living Room with a feature stone fireplace and patio doors which open out onto the quarter circle balcony terrace with metal balustrade and which boasts those stunning views across to the castle and beyond. Double doors lead to the Family Room with dual aspect windows and through to Bedroom 4 with access through the Shower Room, WC and back to the Dining Room.

A wood staircase rises from here to the top floor off which are the three remaining Bedrooms and Family Bathroom. The principal room enjoying the best views.

Outside - The gardens have been a true labour of love and although not for the faint hearted, are landscaped perfectly to create several level and terraced areas with an abundance of Alpine plants, shrubs and trees. Several paths meander throughout the substantial grounds with so many seating areas to soak up the views, you’ll be spoilt for choice. A productive vegetable patch with associated Greenhouse, lies at the top with a level lawned area. One then descends past the terraced balcony to the stone built waterfall feature and pond which leads back down to the private parking and single integral garage.
