Floreat Salopia Shropshire Hills, Shropshire

Property Description

Shropshire is known as the birthplace of industry. With the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ironbridge just a fifteen-minute drive from this cosy terraced house, you can learn about industrial history by day, and enjoy quaint, cottage-like living by night. As you pass through the leafy wooden trellis, the cherry-red front door welcomes you inside, where modern sensibilities meet traditional features. We love the dark wooden floors and the ornate, vintage fireplace in the lounge. As you wait for the fire to start crackling, pick a book from the host’s collection and snuggle up on the sofa. Downstairs in the basement, the entertainment den will keep everyone busy on a rainy day. With a home cinema set-up and games console, the kids will love this secret hideaway. But on a sunny English afternoon, you’ve got a private patio for entertaining in a different way. Serve up a family dinner alfresco and wait for the stars to come out. Or if you'd rather head out, this countryside town is perfect for pub grub and a pint of cider.

Home truths:
*This home is set over three floors, so you'll need to climb stairs to access the entire house
*While the home has three bedrooms, there is only one bathroom to share between all guests – it might be best for families or close friends
*Free parking is available on the premises if you're bringing a car along to explore the countryside
*Your host does not provide shampoo in the bathroom, so you'll need to bring your own
*The sofas are not the most comfortable to lounge and relax on
