The Old Workshop, Picklescott

The Old Workshop is a converted stone barn in Shropshire's rolling countryside. Original features include exposed timber beams and thick stone walls that tell the story of its agricultural past. The barn sits in a peaceful rural setting where you can hear birdsong instead of traffic.

Fields stretch out in every direction from this barn conversion. You're surrounded by farmland and woodland with footpaths leading straight from the door. The views take in open countryside and distant hills.

Inside you'll find two bedrooms sleeping four guests with one bathroom. The living spaces are open plan with the kitchen flowing into the dining and sitting areas. High ceilings give the barn an airy feel while keeping that authentic agricultural character.

Shrewsbury lies 8 miles north (20 minutes) with its medieval streets and independent shops. The Stiperstones ridge offers dramatic walking routes 4 miles away (10 minutes). Ludlow's food scene is 15 miles south (25 minutes). Ironbridge Gorge museums sit 12 miles east (20 minutes).

The Old Workshop works brilliantly for couples or small families wanting a proper countryside escape in a barn with real character and history in its walls.
