A stunning staircase rises from the entrance hall to the first floor, where there are two spacious bedrooms mirroring each other with views to the front garden and driveway. In between these two rooms is a single bedroom, which could also be used as an office/study or dressing room.

The principal bedroom is down a hallway and may be shut off from the rest of the bedrooms. There is a vanity/dressing area and an en suite with a bath and shower over. The bedroom has beautiful high vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, double glazed sash windows overlooking the gardens and plenty of built in fitted wardrobes and cupboards.

The borders are well stocked with a range of perennial plants, mature shrubs and specimen trees which provide colour and interest throughout the year. Highlights include snowdrops in the early spring, followed by magnolias later and a profusion of David Austin roses in summer. There is also a productive fruit/vegetable garden and wildlife area.

From the garden there is private access to Monarchs Way, a well known footpath and bridleway which goes for many miles in either direction and is perfect for exploring the surrounding countryside.

History
Shackerley House is a Grade II Listed building. The old part of the house dates back to the early 1600s, with a later three storey Georgian extension to the front of the property.

In 1651 the house was occupied by Francis Yates and his wife Margaret. This family became involved in the escape of the future King Charles II following his defeat by Oliver Cromwell at the Battle of Worcester. On the day after the battle, Margaret took refreshments and a change of clothes to the fugitive King who was hiding in a nearby wood. Francis later assisted in hiding the King in the famous Oak Tree at nearby Boscobel House, which later became known as the Royal Oak.

A sapling of this tree, presented to Prince Charles in 2001, is growing in the front paddock of this property.
