4 Church Street – An ideal large family home in the heart of Shropshire with income potential from green energy and holiday let revenue from separate barn conversion.

Description

Nestled in a prime location with stunning views of the castle ruins, 4 Church Street provides an incredibly cosy and historic setting but retaining incredibly versatile accommodation and potential. This charming, property is just a stone’s throw from the picturesque 14th-century packhorse bridge over the River Clun – and importantly, outside its flood zone.

Please note: The completion period for this property has been extended to 8 weeks to accommodate buyers seeking mortgage financing.

Dating back to 1604, the older part of the building holds a fascinating history documented in the original wax deeds. Completely renovated in the late '90s and extended twice in the 2000s, this home beautifully blends timeless character with modern comforts.
With a delightful stone frontage, the property offers much more space than meets the eye. Filled with unique charm, it also features the highly sought-after benefit of off-street parking – a rare find in Clun. And that’s not all – an additional barn conversion at the rear of the property offers further potential.

The barn has been thoughtfully repurposed for business use, as a holistic health and beauty clinic although it has previously been used as a 2 bedroomed and spacious holiday let. Its centrepiece is a spacious, airy main room with vaulted ceilings and French doors leading to a private courtyard. Currently used for yoga classes and a mini gym, it could easily become a music studio, art gallery, or games room. There’s also a workroom (previously a kitchen), a toilet, and a shower room. The ground floor benefits from underfloor heating, while upstairs offers two further potential bedrooms, one used as an office and the other as a stockroom. The current business setup can easily be reverted back to a lovely barn for holiday let, with minimal effort.

Inside the main house, you’ll find a welcoming entrance hall leading to a cosy front sitting room and a spacious living room, both with Clearview woodburning stoves in their inglenook fireplaces. The quirky diner-style table and booth seating lead into the cook’s kitchen, designed for culinary enthusiasts. Bright and airy thanks to a glazed ‘orangery’ roof, the kitchen is equipped with ample counter space, an instant boiling water tap, Avanti units, a built-in fridge and dishwasher, and a range-style Baumatic double oven.

A rear hallway leads to a small cellar, cloakroom, WC, and laundry room, completing the ground-floor accommodation.
Upstairs, a beautiful gallery landing connects three double bedrooms, including one en suite. An additional half-flight of stairs leads to a fourth double bedroom and a family bathroom featuring a stunning roll-top bath and underfloor heating. A ladder provides access to a fully boarded, plastered, and wired roof space, ready for additional accommodation or storage.

This Grade II Listed property retains its original character but has been enhanced with modern green technologies, including solar panels and two air source heat pumps linked to underfloor heating, ensuring low running costs. The property also benefits from strong 4G coverage and high-speed fibre broadband.

Outside, large metal gates lead to a covered parking area and a central courtyard with two log stores, a bike shelter, a small storeroom, and an outdoor loo. The courtyard provides access to both the main house and the barn conversion, as well as a linking conservatory/boot room. To the rear, a charming paved patio offers a perfect spot for al fresco dining.

Beyond, a landscaped terraced garden features mature shrubs, fruit trees, a workshop with power and lighting, a covered tool store, and a garden cabin with a seating/BBQ area. The elevated position offers stunning views over Clun, the river, and the nearby castle.

Additional benefits include a combined income of around £2,000 per year from the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) and Feed-In Tariff (FIT), making this a truly unique and rewarding property.
