Enjoying uninterrupted views over parkland towards the River Severn and Wrekin Hill, Cronkhill Farmhouse occupies a delightful, elevated position on the National Trustâs Attingham Park Estate.
This spacious, timber framed farmhouse is located within picturesque grounds including a sun trapped walled garden, fruit trees and brick apple store. Dating from the 17th century and Grade I listed, it was remodelled by John Nash, the famous Regency architect, to match the adjoining property (also National Trust and open six days a year). Cronkhill Farmhouse retains many period details, including beamed ceilings, quarry-tiled floors and an open fireplace. Providing spacious living accommodation, a well-equipped farmhouse-style kitchen and a large dining and entertaining space, it can sleep up to fourteen guests. The property is especially popular with families and groups of friends.
Its idyllic situation combines a very convenient location, close to the bustling town of Shrewsbury and the prettiest villages of Shropshire. A local post office, shop and country pub are all within Âœ mile of Cronkhill. The National Trustâs Attingham Park is just 1 mile away, at the centre of which is a fine Regency mansion set within a deer park designed by Humphrey Repton. There is extensive year round walking to be enjoyed here.
This is an excellent central base from which to explore Shropshire. Shrewsbury lies 3 miles to the north, with its fine period architecture, cinemas, restaurants, and excellent shopping; to the south are the spectacular Shropshire Hills. In its medieval castle setting, Ludlow provides a food paradise with restaurants and artisan shops galore. Eight miles to the east is the World Heritage site of Ironbridge Gorge and its many museums. Three ruined abbeys and the remains of the ancient Roman city of Wroxeter are all within a 20-minute drive.
The custodian of Cronkhill Farmhouse is Rupert Acton who manages The Shooting Lodge, sleeps 11 (ref RNP) located at Acton Scott a 30-minute drive to the south.
