Shrewsbury House dates back to the 15th Century and was once reputedly the residence of the King’s Forester. Extensively renovated by the current owners, the property now provides spacious and characterful family accommodation while retaining its original charm. The house benefits from exceptional natural light, thanks to its large leaded windows and thoughtful orientation.
Inside, the entrance hall leads to three principal reception rooms, each featuring Clearview wood-burning stoves in addition to full central heating. Highlights include a drawing room with a stunning stone fireplace, a cozy sitting room, and a dining room with an atmospheric reclaimed inglenook fireplace, exposed oak timbers, and a quarry-tiled floor. The generously proportioned kitchen, refurbished to a high standard, is the heart of the home, featuring a 4-oven Redfyre cooking range and views over the gardens. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large utility room with ample storage space.
Upstairs, the east wing comprises a spacious master bedroom with exposed beams, a period fireplace, an en-suite shower room, and an opposite dressing room with extensive fitted storage. Two additional double bedrooms and a luxurious bathroom with underfloor heating complete this wing. The west wing provides two more bedrooms and a bathroom, with the option to close it off for use as a private suite—ideal for multi-generational living. A staircase leads to a large attic spanning almost the full footprint of the house.
Outside, the property is accessed via an electric five-bar gate, leading to parking for up to six vehicles and a double garage with mezzanine storage. The walled gardens extend to approximately one acre and are beautifully maintained, featuring extensive lawns, terraces on the south and west elevations, an ornamental pond, and a paddock area with additional outbuildings. There is also a brick-and-tile outbuilding.
