About this property
A delightful 19th century, detached barn conversion, across the courtyard from the owner's impressive country house, in the picturesque rural village of Caynham, 3 miles from Ludlow. Superbly renovated to perfectly blend original character and contemporary fixtures and fittings, this lovely property boasts a wealth of exposed oak beams, trusses and doors, creating a lovely welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and light yet very cosy, and the sitting room has French doors to the pretty garden, ideal for relaxing and dining alfresco. The surrounding countryside offers fabulous walking, cycling, fishing and birdwatching from the doorstep. Medieval Ludlow, with its listed buildings, castle, excellent restaurants and pubs is a must, as is the striking market town of Church Stretton, a short drive away.
With wonderful walking on the surrounding Long Mynd Hills, and the World Heritage Site at Ironbridge and Severn Valley Railway within easy reach, this lovely property has plenty to offer any time of year.
In the heart of the beautiful Shropshire countryside, amidst the renowned walking and cycling region, is the historic village of Caynham. With evidence of early dwelling on the site, in the form of the outstanding landmark, Caynham Camp, visitors can see this huge Bronze Age/Iron Age earthwork which covers a site of eight acres at the summit, from which wonderful views can be enjoyed. Three miles away is Ludlow where slightly more recent building work can be seen in the intact medieval street patterns of the town. Renowned for several Michelin-starred restaurants, as well as numerous tea-shops, pubs and inns, Ludlow is a great destination for gourmets and food enthusiasts whilst nearby, visitors can enjoy such diverse activities as Ironbridge Gorge, Severn Valley Railway, Berrington Hall and Cardingmill Valley.

It is beautiful! Ian came across to meet us shortly after we arrived, to check that everything was OK, and to see if we had any questions. Everything was perfect! The barn is extremely spacious, had everything required for a wonderful holiday, and is in a great location for visiting Ludlow, Hereford, Shrewsbury and many smaller local towns. We hope to return next year.

We were welcomed by our host Ian who was very friendly and helpful throughout our visit. Glebe Barn is perfectly positioned in the countryside with easy access to Ludlow, travel time by car into Ludlow approx 10 minutes. Ludlow town :- Castle, Church, market square with daily quality markets, and plenty of eateries. Bills Kitchen is well worth a visit.
