There are theatres, cinemas and concerts in many of Herefordshire's and Shropshire's towns and villages, including Clun and Chapel Lawn.

There are many opportunities for outriding from the property across Forestry England, bridleways and down the local peaceful lanes.

There are good communication links to Shrewsbury and Hereford via the A49. There are train stations at Bucknell and Knighton which connect to Cravens Arms, which is on the Manchester to Cardiff main line with access to London via Newport or Shrewsbury in a little over three hours.

In the private sector, Bedstone College is about 7 miles away and Moor Park is approx. 25 miles away.

Description - Little Hobarris Farm is a spectacular property, offering a beautiful, characterful countryside home, in a picture-postcard setting with approx. 12 acres of land, equestrian facilities and a range of outbuildings, with the potential for many different uses. The property enjoys the most fantastic rural views and is presented to a high standard. The attractive Grade II listed stone house has been converted over the years, with its origins thought to date back to the 16th Century. It now offers a lovely mix of charm and character, with a contemporary finish in places, giving superb modern family living accommodation. The main reception rooms have flagstone floors and wood-burning stoves to ensure a warm and welcoming feel throughout. The kitchen is bespoke, offering made to measure oak units, dresser and worktops, and a centrally positioned range style cooker.

Adjacent to the kitchen is the family room/snug with log burner and beyond that a large utility room and boot room with rear access to the garden and land. To the other end of the house is a large living room with timbers and beams which is currently used as a drawing room and dining room. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a glazed garden room with sliding doors, giving access to the patio and offering stunning views with a south westerly aspect. Beyond the garden room, the owners have added a guest bedroom and wet room with underfloor heating. On the first floor, there are two impressive bedroom suites. One is the principal bedroom with dressing room and en-suite bathroom. The second suite has a bedroom and en-suite shower room and there is a study/4th bedroom located off it.

Outside - The superb range of outbuildings offer tremendous potential for many uses.

Several of the buildings form a courtyard to the front of the main house. These buildings include what is believed to have been a granary, the upstairs of which has been converted to a large bedroom and shower room, with a cart shed below, which is now used as a carport. There is also a large timber storage barn with mezzanine floor, a workshop, four stone-fronted stables, a garage and a shed.

A gravel track from the front courtyard passes between the house and orchard and continues past the tennis court and on to a modern timber barn. The barn comprises three stables and storage and is adjacent to the grazing land. The grazing is in three gently sloping fields and a paddock, each surrounded by mature hedges. There are three field shelters.

The Gardens - The landscaped gardens slope upwards away from a patio to the rear of the house. Beyond them are vegetable growing areas, a potting shed and a poly tunnel. Beyond those is an outdoor 20m x 60m Charles Britton menage, with spectacular views of the valley and surrounding hills.

Directions - From Shrewsbury, proceed south on the A49 to Craven Arms, turning right at the third roundabout onto the B4368 signed Clun. Continue to Clun and through the town, turning left at the junction to go over the river bridge and continue up the hill, passing the church, then taking the left hand turn after the bend signed ‘Hobarris 2.5 miles’. The property can be found on the right hand side, on reaching the hamlet of Hobarris. The Sat Nav will take you to the driveway of the property.
