Eye Manor

Believed to date back to the 14th century and having recently undergone a scheme of sympathetic renovation and improvement, Eye Manor is an impressive Tudor house occupying a spectacular position in the rolling Shropshire countryside near to Shrewsbury and Much Wenlock.

A stunning armoured timber door opens into the entrance hall, showcasing the exposed stone side of the large inglenook fireplace which stands at the centre of the property. An inviting dual aspect drawing room features beautiful, exposed beams and a large Clear View stove within the inglenook. Beyond the drawing room is the South facing dining room with open fireplace and views over the grounds. Toward the Northern end of the house is a sitting room which also features a Clearview log burner. The kitchen has bespoke fitted units with oak worktops, an oil-fired Aga range and a useful separate pantry. There is an adjoining boot room which has access out to the walled courtyard.

The master bedroom suite is on the first floor and consists of a dual aspect bedroom with superb views, a dressing room, and luxurious en suite shower room. This room is accessed via its own oak staircase from the drawing room. The guest suite (accessed via the main staircase) has an en suite shower room.

On the second floor there are two vaulted double bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, and the other served by the family bathroom. Of particular note is the bedroom toward the Southern end of the second floor which looks out toward the River Severn and surrounding countryside.
