THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN NOMINATED IN THE 2025 LABC BUILDING EXCELLENCE AWARDS BY SHROPSHIRE COUNCIL.
The Property
The Sarn has been a remarkable restoration project that was stripped back to its bare bones to transform a historic building into a modern and accessible home, located at the heart of the rural community of Hopton Castle in the Shropshire Hills AONB. Though it dates from the early 17th century, The Sarn now portrays a light and airy feel throughout. The new wall and roof construction now provides an enviable energy efficiency standard, achieving a score of 75 in its latest EPC test. The Sarn has a newly installed reed thatched roof.
Upon entering the property, you step into the kitchen, which is fitted with bespoke units and features a Belfast sink, a Cuisine Master range cooker and facilities to fit an integrated dishwasher and space for a fridge/freezer. The kitchen retains its historic charm with original red quarry tiles that run throughout as well as exposed beams. The snug room, featuring a large fireplace fitted with a log burner and exposed beams, exude rustic charm and warmth. The sitting room offers a cosy retreat and has a door that opens to a charming courtyard with breath-taking views. The large family room is a unique and versatile space that combines dining and sitting areas, enhanced by a skylight and fully bi-folding doors that create a bright and open atmosphere. These doors open out onto a large terrace. The property features a convenient downstairs bedroom with bi-folding doors that open into the garden and a walk-in wet room, providing accessibility for multigenerational living. The entire ground floor has wheelchair access. There is a utility room and WC on the ground floor.
The first floor comprises three bedrooms and a spacious landing. The main bedroom boasts a vaulted ceiling, a Velux window, and two storage cupboards. There are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside
The property benefits from a large garden which is accessed from a paved terrace that surrounds the house. Half of the garden has been laid for an orchard with 8 fruit trees. Views of the 12th-century castle can be seen from the garden. The south-facing terrace offers spectacular views over the Shropshire countryside, making it a perfect spot for al fresco dining. The gravel driveway provides ample parking space and includes a stunning double oak carport.
