Description

Occupying a commanding position above Church Stretton, Lawley is a highly individual contemporary residence, designed to take full advantage of its remarkable setting within the Shropshire Hills.
Distinguished by its unique octagonal design and exceptional levels of natural light, the house offers a rare combination of architectural interest, practical family living and outstanding far-reaching views.The property has been thoughtfully conceived to maximise its connection with the surrounding landscape. Extensive glazing and carefully considered room orientations create a strong visual relationship with the mature woodland setting and the dramatic Shropshire Hills beyond, whilst the distinctive design provides a sense of individuality seldom found in the local market.

At the centre of the house is an impressive spiral staircase which rises through the heart of the building, creating a striking architectural focal point and links the first 2 floors with a second staircase linking the top 2 floors. The principal reception spaces are light-filled and generously proportioned, offering versatile accommodation ideally suited to both modern family life and entertaining.

A particular highlight is the uppermost floor, where a remarkable open-plan space enjoys panoramic views in every direction. Whether utilised as a studio, home office, additional reception room or entertaining space, it provides a truly unique vantage point from which to appreciate the property's exceptional setting.

The interiors have been finished to an exacting standard throughout, combining contemporary styling with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The bespoke kitchen is exceptionally well appointed with a range of integrated appliances and quality fittings, whilst the bathroom and bedroom accommodation reflects the same attention to detail and quality of finish found throughout the house.
The bedroom accommodation is both generous and thoughtfully arranged. Three of the four bedrooms benefit from direct access to a substantial terrace, creating a seamless transition between the interior and outdoor spaces and providing attractive areas from which to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.


Outside, the landscaped gardens have been designed with ease of maintenance in mind, allowing owners to spend more time enjoying the setting rather than managing it. A covered terrace creates an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining throughout the seasons, while a double garage and driveway provide parking and storage.

Location

Church Stretton is widely regarded as one of Shropshire's most desirable locations. Often referred to as "Little Switzerland", the town sits within the Shropshire Hills National Landscape and is framed by the Long Mynd to the west and Caer Caradoc to the east, offering some of the finest countryside in England directly on the doorstep. The nearby Carding Mill Valley and Long Mynd provide extensive opportunities for walking, cycling, riding and outdoor pursuits, making the area particularly appealing to those seeking an active lifestyle amidst exceptional scenery.

Despite its idyllic setting, Church Stretton offers an excellent range of everyday amenities, including independent shops, cafés, restaurants, public houses, healthcare facilities and a railway station. The town enjoys a strong sense of community and provides a highly attractive balance between rural living and modern convenience.

Shrewsbury, the county town of Shropshire, lies approximately 15 miles to the north and offers an extensive range of shopping, educational and cultural facilities. To the south, Ludlow is renowned for its historic architecture, award-winning food scene and vibrant calendar of festivals and events. Both destinations complement the lifestyle offered by Church Stretton and are easily accessible by road and rail.

Communications are excellent, with the A49 providing convenient north and southbound access through the county, while Church Stretton railway station offers regular services connecting with Shrewsbury, Hereford, Cardiff, Manchester and the wider national rail network.
