Welcome to Walford Lodge, a home that greets you with warmth the moment you step through the door. Characterful beams, soft natural tones and a wonderful sense of heritage set the scene, inviting you to slow down and settle in.
To one side, there’s a cosy study - perfect for working from home, diving into a good book. From here, the house opens up into an impressive living and dining space, the true heart of the home. Stretching over seven metres, this beautiful room blends charm and comfort with exposed timber beams, a crackling log-burning stove, and doors that spill out into the garden. It’s a space made for laughter-filled dinners, festive gatherings, and relaxed everyday living.
The kitchen continues the country feel, combining bespoke cabinetry with generous worktops and plenty of room to cook, chat and create. Doors lead straight out to a sheltered outdoor entertaining area, your go-to spot for summer barbecues, evening drinks, or peaceful morning coffees while the garden gently wakes up around you.
Just off the dining area, a second hallway reveals a stylish ground-floor bathroom complete with a walk-in shower and indulgent jacuzzi bath, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. Beyond this lies a spacious second living room, bathed in natural light and featuring its own log burner, a striking staircase, and French doors opening onto the garden. Whether it’s movie nights, quiet Sunday mornings, or accommodating extended family, this versatile space adapts beautifully — even offering potential for a private Airbnb-style guest suite.
Upstairs, the second staircase rises from the far living room to two additional characterful bedrooms tucked beneath the eaves, creating a flexible layout. The main staircase leads to three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside, the gardens are a true delight. Mature planting, rolling lawns, a vegetable plot and vibrant seasonal colour create a setting that feels both established and full of life. Fruit trees and a tranquil pond add charm, while thoughtfully positioned terraces mean you can follow the sun from morning coffee to sunset drinks. Beyond, the rolling fields and wide-open skies of rural Shropshire provide a breathtaking backdrop.
Adding even more flexibility, a self-contained annexe sits within the grounds, complete with its own kitchen, bathroom and living space — ideal for visiting family, independent living, or holiday letting.
