Splendid country house near Shrewsbury on the market for a cool £1.25 million
A stunning former farmhouse just outside Shrewsbury has gone on the market for £1,250,000.
The four-bed, four-bath, four-reception room Birch Hill has been fully refurbished to make a stunning modern home.
The beautiful property, located in Grinshill, is full of character details despite its modern look.
Some of the original stone walls remain, quarried straight from Grinshill itself. Stone has been quarried from the village since at least the twelfth century and has been used extensively in properties around Shropshire.
Haughmond Abbey, Shrewsbury Railway Station and the Welsh Bridge all contain stone quarried from Grinshill. Perhaps more notably, Grinshill stone was used to make the lintels and door surround of Number 10 Downing Street.
Externally, Birch Hill's historic sandstone is complimented with burnished timber boarding, aluminium windows, zinc sheeting and a clay-tiled roof.
