Charming Barn Conversion

Charming Grade 2 Listed Barn Conversion set amidst beautiful Shropshire Countryside yet only 5 - 6 miles for the Historic Medieval Town of Shrewsbury.

Heribert Cottage is one of five Victorian linked barn conversions situated in a rural development offering modern facilities yet retaining its original charm. It sits within an enclosed paved courtyard, approached by descending four steps from the nearby off-road parking area for 2 cars.

Its location is ideally suited for visiting towns such as Bishops Castle, Ludlow, Ironbridge - (The Birthplace of the Industrial Revolution - A World Heritage Site) Welshpool - (Home of Powis Castle) and nearby Shrewsbury with its wealth of historic buildings, medieval passageways, Castle, River with boat trips, and excellent shopping facilities including specialist shops, restaurants and cafes.

The Shropshire Hills - The Long Mynd, Stiperstones, Earls Hill, Pontesford Hill and Pontesbury Hill (some of which can be seen from the patio and car park of Heribert Cottage) are within a few miles and Welsh border country is a short drive away.

For keen gardeners both Shrewsbury and Welshpool have excellent Garden Nurseries and local gardens open to the public.
