" The Rope Walk is an attractive period country house dating back to the 17th Century. It was here that, as the name suggests, ropes were made from the end of the 18th Century and were particularly well known for the length wanted for lead mines and collieries along the Welsh Marches. In 2002 the present owners extended the property with an amazing contemporary extension that blends perfectly the historic portion and the quality contemporary section of this unique property.

This intriguing, spacious five bedroom detached period country house boasts some of the most enviable views Shropshire has to offer. This versatile family house also includes the former Rope Makers workshop and a brick and stone building / garage (both with full planning permission, granted for conversion to two detached residential one bedroom cottages). These buildings are sited within the curtilage of the main house, separated by a country lane. Our clients are offering this unique opportunity of versatile living accommodation which will appeal to various sectors including, large families who may require independent living accommodation, investors wishing to produce an income from holiday lets, clients who work from home or people / developers wishing to realise the potential and profit of completing the conversions perhaps selling the two properties or retaining them to produce an income. The property is offered For Sale with no upward chain. Our clients are wishing to sell as a whole but may consider sub division.
