A rare opportunity has arisen for buyers to secure the final remaining property at an exclusive barn conversion development near Shrewsbury with an open viewing this Bank Holiday weekend.
The Hayloft, part of the sought-after Horton Lodge Barns development on the B4386 between Shrewsbury and Cruckton, has unexpectedly returned to the market following the collapse of a property chain and has a guide price of £450,000.
Samuel Wood estate agents, which is marketing the property, say such opportunities are seldom repeated. Prospective buyers are invited to a special open house session this Bank Holiday Saturday, May 2 between 11am and 1pm.
“This property was effectively sold,” said Russell Griffin, Director at Shropshire estate agency Samuel Wood. “But an unexpected change has brought it back to market. The property is contract-ready, and our clients are highly motivated, it really is a second chance for buyers who may have missed out.”
The Hayloft is the final property within the intimate gated development of five restored farm buildings, offering a blend of rural tranquillity and convenient access to both Shrewsbury and Telford.
Set behind a private entrance, the single-storey home has been designed with both style and practicality in mind, a combination that agents say has driven strong demand for the development.
Described as a “ground-floor penthouse”, the property features three bedrooms and three bathrooms, with accommodation arranged entirely across one level, a layout increasingly sought after by downsizers and families alike.
At the heart of the home is a striking open-plan living space, where vaulted ceilings and exposed structural beams create a sense of volume and character. A wood-burning stove provides a focal point, while the layout flows seamlessly between kitchen, dining and seating areas.
The contemporary kitchen includes Shaker-style units, handcrafted resin worktops with LED lighting, integrated appliances and a Quooker boiling tap, designed to cater equally for everyday living and entertaining.
Large windows and patio doors flood the interior with natural light, particularly in the principal bedroom, which opens onto the garden and benefits from fitted wardrobes and a high-specification en-suite bathroom. A guest bedroom also features its own en-suite, while a third bedroom offers flexibility as a study or additional living space.
Mr Griffin added: “Demand for these homes has been exceptional. Horton Lodge Barns offers a rare chance to enjoy a sophisticated lifestyle in a peaceful countryside setting, without compromising on modern comfort.
“Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality and design of The Hayloft.”
The development also includes landscaped surroundings and carefully planned planting, designed to mature over time and enhance the setting.
With its combination of character, high-specification finish and semi-rural location, The Hayloft is expected to attract significant interest once again.
The Hayloft is available for viewing this Saturday 11am-1pm, no prior booking is required.
