Burlton Grange

Set within a quarter-acre of grounds and surrounded by peaceful farmland, this quintessential English country house feels like a destination in its own right for a memorable group getaway. Nestled in the rural hamlet of Burlton, it’s ideally located between Shrewsbury (10 miles) and Whitchurch (13 miles), offering the perfect mix of tranquillity and nearby adventure.

Stride out from the doorstep along scenic public footpaths and cycle routes, stopping off afterwards at the local country pub to refuel. Spend a day exploring the lively streets, independent shops, and riverside walks of Shrewsbury, or head to nearby Ellesmere (7 miles) to enjoy lakeside picnics by the largest mere in North Shropshire.

Little ones will love to discover Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World (24 miles) while thrill-seekers can get their adrenaline fix at Tilstock Skydiving (12.5 miles) or Rednal Go Karting (10.5 miles). Keen golfers will want to pack their clubs for a few holes at Shrewsbury Golf Club (18 miles), and you can join the sommeliers on a tour around Hencote Vineyard, 8 miles from home.

Approach this spectacular country home along the gravelled driveway, with views towards Hawkestone, admiring the sash windows and elegant shutters of this timeless property. On entering, you’ll instantly notice the tasteful blend of classic Georgian features combined seamlessly with the modern boho and elegant, chic interiors.

Enter via the courtyard, through the porch, where you’ll find a handy utility and boot room – great for drying off wet paws after country walks. Stepping into the heart of the home, the expansive and thoughtfully designed kitchen with a characterful beamed ceiling is ready to host the chef of the party while they whip up holiday feasts.

Sip morning coffee at the breakfast bar while you decide on the day’s itinerary. The adjoining breakfast room boasts a wonderful long table for special, celebratory meals, as well as a crackling wood burner for added ambience.
