What's The Time?

Found in the middle of five hundred acres of woodland and farmland in Middle England, this home in a former stable block and servants quarter has all the necessary ingredients for a truly restorative rural getaway. A log burner stove in the living room? Check. A rolltop bathtub for long bubbly soaks? Yup. A walled garden where you can watch birds flutter past as you drink coffee? That, too. There's even a formal dining room painted in a vibrant shade of blue that feels like a nod to the building's century-long history. Of course, there might be days when you're not in the mood to cook, in which case the town of Market Drayton and its collection of restaurants sit only twenty minutes' walk away. The Hawkstone Park Follies are well worth a visit too and can be reached in just over twenty minutes by car.

Home truths:
*There's free parking available on the premises
*The home is spread across two floors so it might not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility
*The hosts live in the other half of the building
