Located in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Bryn House is a fine Grade II listed property of great charm and quality; with its separate cottage, gardens, paddocks and amenity woodland, it forms an extremely attractive and manageable country estate.
The original part of Bryn House dates from the 14th/15th century and the main part of the house is Georgian with later Victorian additions. Sympathetic investment and modern internal and external infrastructure has brought Bryn House firmly into the 21st century. The work at Bryn has been meticulous with great emphasis on retaining or matching as many of the original character features one would expect in a character of this ilk: original Adams fireplace, wood-panelling, parquet flooring, high ceilings and a myriad of oak beams– all contributing to the character and warmth of the property.
The drawing room (used as such and as a library by the current owners) is magnificent and enjoys an east/west aspect that enhances its natural light. The view from the sitting room is breath-taking affording an unencumbered view down the Clun Valley.
The kitchen is well fitted and the pantry has recently been refurbished to create a fully equipped larder and laundry room. Next to the pantry is a basement that has the benefit of a fully lined tanking system with the usual guarantees. It is currently not developed and could easily be used as a cellar, store room or additional storage.
On the first floor and set off from an impressive landing is the main bedroom suite with a large bedroom with a bathroom running across the front (southern elevation) of the house. Large windows fill the room with light and provide fabulous views across the garden and down the valley. A small flight of stairs leads from the landing to the guest wing with a generous sitting area and access to two further bedrooms. Stairs to the second floor lead to three further bedrooms off a landing. There is a useful attic storeroom, up a small flight of stairs from the end of bedroom three.
Outside
The grounds are mature, private and well maintained. A winding path leads to 6 acres of stunning woodland dingle and stream; the woodland generously gives back the fallen wood to keep the log burners fuelled during the colder months. The gardens are of approximately 3 acres and enjoy wonderful far reaching vistas from various angles. There is a pond, orchard and a partial walled fruit garden. A private well provides water for the garden and is fully integrated in the garden via a network of outside taps. Adjacent to the garden, Bryn also consists of a private valley ideal for grazing with a couple of acres of flatter land suitable for horses; running through this valley is a small woodland and the land is currently grazed by the local farmer. A newly built oak shed with larch cladding sits within the garden and is used by the current owners to house their garden tractor; it has full electrics and could be further adapted as a stable, field shelter or alternative use space. An ancient Bothy sits in the remaining acre of land situated across the lane, providing security and seclusion for the main house and grounds. The Bothy has not been developed by the current owners and offers further amenity with the right imagination.
Bryn Cottage
An attractive and self-contained cottage sitting within the grounds of Bryn House, Bryn Cottage is Grade II listed and renovated to an extremely high standard. The cottage is light and full of character features. The adjoining Victorian barn attached to the property is currently used as a gym for the family and has been recently opened up by the current owners to show off its amazing oak beams and general character. Parking is plentiful and the cottage enjoys a garden that does not interfere with the privacy of Bryn House should anyone choose to run it as a holiday or short term let, or as an ideal property for a family relative or staff.
