With a stunning open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area, this barn is perfect for a large family holiday, a friends get away or to celebrate a special occasion.

The hand-made dining table, comfortably seats 12 and is ideal for a celebration meal or a simple family feast. The modern kitchen is well equipped to cater for large groups, containing plenty of tableware and kitchen utensils.

Having been lovingly converted, this barn has retained original beams, trusses and brick pillars mixing traditional with modern.

Outside, James's Parlour boasts a very large enclosed garden with a substantial patio area with furniture. With incredible views across the Shropshire countryside and a real suntrap in the Summer. Watch the sun go down over the fields whilst you enjoy an alfresco meal with something bubbly or a fun picnic with the children!
