The Kitchen has a range of handmade bespoke kitchen units, with curved cabinets, deep pan drawers and a double Belfast sink. The wall cabinets are in a contrasting colour and add space for the microwave. Halogen hob with modern push back extractor and built in double oven. Room for a table and chairs. The inset lighting together with the natural light pouring into the kitchen from the triple aspect windows, making washing up a dream as you look over your garden. Karndean flooring once again is the finishing touch to this kitchen. The main drawing room is located on the left of the dining hall
and has a beamed ceiling and offers views from every window, the large stone built inglenook with bread oven to the side, houses a welcoming wood-burning stove and once again the herringbone Karndean flooring. Running a business requires a large and spacious office, which is found off the drawing room and is a modern addition, which has been tastefully done to reflect the older style and symmetry of the stone farmhouse, with beamed ceiling and casement doors leading to the front of the property. The hallway, with downstairs cloak room and stairs rising to the first floor is situated off the dining hall and has a large under stairs cupboard. At the half way point of the staircase is a window offering natural light. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, the master bedroom, has the benefit of an en-suite bathroom, there is a further family bathroom. Bedroom four also a double is currently used to house the linen and bedding etc. needed for the thriving business.
Gardens
The private gardens are a delight and offer, a trickling waterfall with a bubbling stream that starts from a nearby spring at the rear of the garden with a seating platform overlooking them. This area is planted with bluebells and other wild flowers and is adjacent to a small brick built building once used as a piggery. Coming towards the cottage you pass through a small fruit orchard where mistletoe is growing on the low branches of the apple trees as the the brook continues to wind its way. This delightful mature garden has an abundance of herbaceous plants and large shrubs enclosed by a wealth of large native trees melding into the open countryside. Pathways meander through the lawns with seating positioned to provide the most dramatic views of the surrounding Shropshire Hills. Everything you need to enable you at the end of the day to sit and sip on a chilled glass of wine, or wrap yourself up in the winter and hold a cup of warm coffee in your hands.
Kitchen Garden
Across the lane in the paddock is the kitchen garden with several raised beds and a greenhouse and a variety of soft fruit bushes.
Garage and parking
The driveway leads to a large single garage and separate workshop and offers parking for at least five cars.
Outbuildings
Adjacent to the garage there are several open faced wood stores, compost bins and a further garden shed for storage.
Glamping units
The cabins are all bespoke built using only the highest quality materials, fixtures and fittings. Each is very different in its design with unique features that attract staying guests. Each one is sited in its own paddock providing seclusion and privacy for couples. Having started with one cabin, this relatively young profitable business is in its sixth season and given that the latest luxury cabin, Wild Honey Hyde has only just come online this summer, there is still plenty of room for future growth. Offa s Pitch has been featured on national TV and the Sunday Times as the best of UK luxury glamping, and all of the cabins have received Gold standard awards from Visit England annually for accommodation excellence.
Offas Pitch
The first of the three cabins, is designed to look like a beautiful large tent, pitched in the open countryside and built by a local Welsh oak frame company. The internal design is retro-scandi with clean lines and oak beams throughout the unit, offering vaulted ceilings and curved archways. The centre of the Pitch offers a welcoming lounge area, with space for a dining table and chairs along with a comfortable sofa. This area leads into a kitchen, in duck egg blue to open touch units, with pan drawers, under-counter oven and a central oak island. Casement doors lead you onto the welcoming patio. The bedroom and shower room are found at the opposite end accommodating built in drawers, holding plenty of storage space for guests. The front raised entrance pergola offers space to put muddy boots after a long walk in the open countryside. To the side of the cabin is a raised patio and seating area with a private wood-burning Norwegian hot tub where guests can sit in this dark-sky location and stargaze.
Aether's Tilt
Situated in its own plot, with a private gate leading from the lane, this beautiful cabin is styled like a shepherds hut but built larger to provide a more comfortable living space. The exterior is clad in English Elm that continues to age to a natural silvery grey colour. Aether s Tilt interior design is industrial steampunk with bespoke wall art, splash back and shower room mirror complemented by industrial lighting and fittings. The outside space again includes a Norwegian wood burning hot tub to relax in and enjoy the wonderful views over the pastureland and hills beyond. In this space guests can sit back and relax in the private setting.
Wild Honey Hyde
This cabin, situated on the hillside, is raised on stilts and affords the most exceptional views of the surrounding countryside. It is clad with larch that has undergone the Japanese wood charring process Shou Sugi Ban and then tinted a colour to produce an effect the Japanese call Karafurutaiger. Apart from how beautiful it looks, the advantages of this finish are that it is has excellent weather resistance, requires little or no future maintenance and is repellant to wasps and other burrowing insects. Both internally and externally this cabin has a very contemporary look and the quality of the furnishing, fixtures and fittings provides guests with the highest level of luxury for which this glamping business is known. The raised composite decking on two sides compliment the modern style of the cabin where there is also a Norwegian wood burning Hot Tub in which to relax and take in the amazing scenery.
This exquisite opportunity is pure class and elegance. Viewing comes highly recommended.
