Hills Barn, Peatswood

PROPERTY OVERVIEW The Shippen is a truly exceptional Grade II Listed, three-bedroom barn conversion with the added benefit of a one-bedroom annexe. It offers you an outstanding blend of contemporary living and charming period character, and occupies the most private position of just three exclusive conversions in a peaceful rural setting with far-reaching views across unspoilt countryside.

The property itself stands within approximately 0.86 acres of beautifully situated grounds, giving you an extensive lawned garden leading to the timber garage and office block.

Sympathetically converted from an attractive 18th-century barn, the main property retains a wealth of original features including exposed timbers, impressive high ceilings and characterful architectural details, whilst providing spacious and versatile accommodation ideally suited to modern family life.

The welcoming entrance hall leads to a superb open-plan kitchen and sitting room, perfectly designed for everyday living and entertaining, with delightful views over the rear garden. A separate utility room provides practical convenience, while the generously proportioned lounge offers a wonderful living space centred around an impressive brick fireplace with a multi-fuel stove.

To the first floor, a spacious landing gives access to three well-appointed bedrooms, including a superb principal bedroom with en-suite facilities, together with a stylish family bathroom.

A particularly valuable feature of The Shippen is the self-contained annexe, offering excellent flexibility for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, home office use, or potential holiday letting opportunities, subject to any necessary consents.

Externally, the property is complemented by a substantial double timber car port with an office space and garage, whilst the grounds provide ample outdoor space to enjoy the stunning rural surroundings. The elevated position commands breathtaking views across the picturesque valley, creating a wonderful sense of privacy, tranquillity and connection with the countryside.

Combining character, space and versatility in an idyllic rural location, The Shippen represents a rare opportunity to acquire a unique period home with exceptional lifestyle appeal.

We highly recommend you view this lovely property to appreciate everything it has to offer - so please call the team at our Market Drayton office to arrange your viewing.
