A Grand Welcome
Your journey begins under a magnificent stone archway, drawing you through impressive double doors into a breath-taking reception hall. Currently a sun-drenched sanctuary perfect for an inspiring home office, this space sets an immediate tone of elegance and warmth. From here, the heart of the home unfolds: to your left, the expansive kitchen and dining haven beckons, while to your right, the inviting living room awaits. A discreetly placed downstairs cloakroom, with its contemporary touches, offers convenience, and a gracefully rising staircase leads your gaze upwards to the first floor. Throughout this remarkable home, exposed ceiling beams stand as proud sentinels, whispering tales of generations past.
Culinary Dreams Unfolding
Prepare to fall in love with the kitchen, a truly magnificent space. Fitted with exquisite bespoke country-style units, it's a harmonious blend of rustic charm and modern functionality. A charming door leads directly to the front courtyard garden, inviting you to savour alfresco dining under the open sky. At its heart, a generous central island provides both clever storage and an integrated wine fridge, its extended oak work surface offering a cosy spot for two to share a morning coffee. Surrounding units boast luxurious quartz work surfaces, showcasing high-end Neff appliances: an electric oven, induction hob, extraction hood, fridge, and freezer. The adjacent dining area features perfectly matched units, two with elegant glass doors, cleverly framing a space for your television, creating a seamless flow for family life. A classic Belfast sink, nestled beneath a window, offers idyllic views of the picturesque courtyard garden, making even daily chores a delight.
Cosy Retreats and Versatile Sanctuaries
Beyond the reception hall, the living room unfolds - a large yet incredibly cosy sanctuary, radiating warmth and comfort. Sink into plush carpets, surrounded by chunky exposed beams that add incredible character, and bask in the gentle glow from dual-aspect windows. The focal point, a charming log-burning stove, promises untold evenings of warmth and relaxation. From here, step down into the snug, a truly versatile and enchanting room with an impressive apex ceiling and further exposed beams, creating an airy, peaceful retreat. A composite door offers convenient external access to the side of the property, complemented by two windows framing lovely garden views. A glazed door from the snug leads into a practical utility room, which also has its own door to the garden. This indispensable space provides plumbing and room for a washing machine and tumble dryer, along with an oak work surface, storage units above, and a handy butler sink.
Luxurious Slumber and Pampering Escapes
Ascending the stairs, you're greeted by a galleried landing, where more exposed timber beams continue the home's unique narrative. The principal bedroom is a truly luxurious escape, a spacious haven designed for ultimate relaxation. Its apex ceiling creates an incredible sense of light and space, while dual-aspect windows invite the sunshine to flood the room. Original wall and ceiling beams serve as beautiful reminders of the building's rich history. A decadent luxury en-suite awaits, boasting a magnificent freestanding clawfoot bath with a period mixer tap, a WC, and a vanity sink with elegant under-sink storage. For ultimate convenience, a spacious walk-in wardrobe is discreetly accessible directly from the en-suite.
The landing also accesses three further double bedrooms, each uniquely charming, offering private retreats. These are served by a modern family bathroom, featuring a walk-in shower with a rainfall head, a WC, a vanity sink with storage & a heated towel rail.
Charming Gardens and Effortless Outdoor Living
Outside continues to captivate, offering a delightful & low-maintenance garden & driveway to the front of this historic property. The ample tarmacadam driveway flows gracefully into golden gravel, providing generous off-road parking space. A charming low wall and a rustic timber gate lovingly define the intimate courtyard garden, creating an immediately inviting and private space directly at the front door. Here, railway sleepers thoughtfully shape a raised flower bed, adding a touch of rustic beauty without demanding extensive upkeep.
Beyond this, a delightful summerhouse, thoughtfully equipped with electricity & lighting, is nestled within a separate, private garden area, beautifully defined by railway sleepers and a timber gate. This secluded sanctuary offers both a lush lawned area & a tranquil gravel garden, ideal for quiet contemplation or playful moments.
Access
Conveniently accessed over the car park for the Lion Inn, double gates provide secure tarmacadam access into your private driveway, ensuring both ease and peace of mind.
Location
Nestled within the charming Shropshire countryside, Westbury offers a tranquil lifestyle with excellent connectivity.

For those seeking wider amenities, the historic market town of Shrewsbury is less than 9 miles away, a short and scenic drive.
Accessibility is a key advantage of Westbury. Its proximity to Shrewsbury means easy access to Shrewsbury train station, offering wider rail connections. Furthermore, the property benefits from convenient access to the M54 motorway, providing a direct link to the wider motorway network for commutes or leisure travel.
Families benefit from Long Mountain CofE Primary School in Worthen and the well-regarded Mary Webb School and Science College in Pontesbury for secondary education. This blend of rural charm and accessibility creates an ideal family environment.
