Highbeech HouseOne of a small, exclusive development of stylish houses, constructed by a local developer, Highbeech House enjoys an outstanding location set on the edge of the rural market town of Clun. Clun is in the Clun Valley in the Shropshire Hills area of outstanding natural beauty.

The sheer delight of its location was one of the reasons which prompted the owners to purchase this lovely house, from new, in 2008. It is a continuing pleasure to look out onto the surrounding rolling hills watching the seasons unfold and, even on a dreary grey morning, it is a delight.

Accommodation is highly flexible and, although there is a dedicated study, the owners have also utilised a downstairs bedroom for this purpose. Amongst rooms on the ground floor there is a large, elegant sitting room but everyone’s favourite space is the enormous kitchen/dining room/sun lounge. This room is very much the heart of family life; an extremely sociable space with comfortable seating and large enough to seat twelve around the kitchen table. This room leads into the conservatory and out onto decking, constructed in American resin-bonded materials with LED inset lighting, and surrounded by a toughened glass balustrade overlooking the garden. It is the perfect entertaining space and one which certainly gives the ‘wow’ factor to all who visit.

The owners have created a neat and beautiful garden, stocked with roses, fruit trees and bushes, together with a variety of colourful perennials. There is also a garden pond and a delightful garden studio. This lovely tranquil garden is opened each year as a fundraising event.

It is just a short walk into Clun which has a full range of excellent facilities, including a Village Hall which caters for a host of recreational interests and activities. Shops are exceptional, especially the independent butcher’s shops. In addition, there is a wide choice of both state and independent primary and secondary schools and colleges locally. Ludlow and Shrewsbury are within easy reach.

The owners state that this house in this location has been perfect for them and happy memories of their time here will remain with them forever.
