About this property

Nestled within a sheep smallholding, this charm-filled log cabin rests peacefully enveloped by breath-taking scenery, with an elevated position up an unadopted lane, upon a verdant hill in Shropshire. This cabin offers a wonderful, relaxing break on the edge of Minsterley village, with local amenities and attractions in abundance nearby. Fully insulated, the cabin provides a spacious interior for you and your loved one to kick back and absorb the countryside surroundings, either out on the west facing terrace or from within the cosy lounge, accompanied by a woodburning stove and exposed woodwork. The kitchen enjoys an ample selection of house-hold appliances, fully fitted for convenience while you benefit a therapeutic style of cooking. The king-size double is stretched through with dual aspect windows and beautiful oak furniture. French doors from the lounge lead out onto the decked terrace at the rear of the cabin, where you can enjoy the romantic glow from idyllic sunsets, accompanied by a welcoming bottle of wine provided on arrival. You also have access to the duck pond and picnic bench within the 26 acre grounds; stroll up to absorb the tranquil nature of your surroundings, occasionally interrupted by the sounds of young lambs bleating in the fields.
