Just a few minutes from Claverley, a much favoured and picturesque South Shropshire village, this unmissable traditional Georgian farmhouse sits within miles of uninterrupted countryside and combines superb family living, wonderful gardens and equestrian facilities. Exuding character and charm with its quintessential three storey regular facade, Upper Beobridge Farmhouse is located in a quiet hamlet, has immense kerb appeal and is set back from the lane behind a long beech hedge. Internally, the house boasts a wealth of period features including fireplaces, the original and rather special polished oak staircase, excellent examples of original doors and floors, beamed ceilings and numerous gorgeous windows. There is a two storey wing which encompasses the drawing room and master bedroom having sash windows and higher ceilings. The house has been sympathetically and stylishly reconfigured in part by the current owners in keeping with its period character. This specimen Georgian property now offers well proportioned and balanced accommodation appropriate for modern day living. The layout has a natural flow that is ideal for both everyday life and entertaining. Having entered through the rose covered porch, one is then greeted with a welcoming reception hall with wood burning stove and solid flagstone flooring which extends throughout much of the ground floor and has the benefit of underfloor heating. From the hall, the classically elegant and dual aspect drawing room is over 25’ long and in the mornings is imbued with natural light, and benefiting from half glazed french windows out onto the terrace. There is an ambient formal dining room also off the hall, a useful out-of-the way study and an ideally placed cosy snug off the kitchen. At the rear, with double doors to the South facing terrace and garden, the large farmhouse breakfast kitchen features solid oak units, a traditional four oven aga and a secondary conventional oven for summer months. A pantry and sizeable utility/boot room can be found off the kitchen. In addition there are two unused cellar rooms under the property.

Across the upper floors, this beautiful home is bestowed with incredible countryside views from every window and offers a master suite with dressing room, five further doubles, a vaulted single room and two house bathrooms. A separate staircase leads to a versatile games room/ gym with attic storage off and the sixth bedroom/playroom. The latter enjoys views over the large tranquil pond to the fields beyond through the almost full length window. Surrounding the property, the five acre grounds include extensive parking, expansive lawns with majestic mature trees, a large kidney shaped pond with duck house and waterlilies, two terraces, orchard and vegetable beds. Half of the plot is given over to an enclosed equestrian paddock. A separate, level schooling paddock lies adjacent and behind the gardens, with a two berth stable block, hay store, field shelter and tack room. The archetypal English country garden has hosted marquee weddings and parties over the years and been enjoyed by several generations. There is access via a gate at the rear of the property to the little used bridal path, the bottom of which is owned by the property allowing for vehicular access via the rear and direct entry to the fabulous hacking out and walks in the Shropshire countryside.

This wonderful country home lies approximately a mile from the beautiful village of Claverley with its black and white timbered buildings, eleventh century church and lively pubs and sports clubs. It also offers a well-regarded primary school and GP surgery. Approximately 8 miles away is the renowned historic town of Bridgnorth on the banks of the River Severn. It is a bustling market town and provides a plethora of popular restaurants, shops, and two secondary schools. Surrounding villages offer further schools and amenities, notably Worfield and Bobbington, while the wider area provides a choice of independent schooling, including Birchfield Preparatory, The Thomas Telford School and a number of other respected schools within Wolverhampton. For keen horse-riders, the property is conveniently placed for miles of hacking routes through the countryside along the Shropshire-Staffordshire border.
