Description
This secluded, semi-detached barn conversion adjoins the owner's 17th century home only one mile from Clunton, in the heart of Shropshire's beautiful Clun Valley. Set in a lovely hidden valley, off the beaten track, in a peaceful, rural location in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This superb barn is surrounded by a mix of farmland, hills and glorious woodlands and is set in an area comprising of approximately two acres. It is accessed via its own private entrance at the end of a farm track, with no other properties nearby. King Grove offers a retreat away from the hustle and bustle of life, great for city escapists and those wanting to enjoy the tranquil beauty and nature of the English countryside. King Grove enjoys dark skies with no light pollution, ideal for stargazers. Evenings are filled with the sounds of nature, such as owls, foxes, deer and badgers. Birdlife is abundant and the birdsong in spring is astounding.The barn retains some of its original character, as well as providing quality, contemporary accommodation throughout. It has a very well equipped modern kitchen with dining table, a spacious, comfortable and tasteful lounge with wood burner. Two good sized double bedrooms and a modern shower room with large shower. The south-facing lawned garden at the front of the property is shared with the owners, it also offers the exclusive use of a sunken, sunny patio which is accessed via steps. There are other seating areas (again accessed via steps) within the grounds for guest's use, perfect for relaxing with a drink and dining alfresco, whilst taking in the views of Stepple Knoll, after an exciting day exploring wonderful Shropshire.
There is a community owned pub in Clunton, which is very welcoming and serves good food and drink. There are excellent walks and cycle paths from the doorstep of this Shropshire property, with Offa's Dyke, the Shropshire Way and Jack Mytton Way close by, making it an idyllic location for walkers, cyclists and birdwatchers.
The enchanting wildlife site of Clunton Coppice is just a short stroll, as is Bury Ditches, an impressive Iron Age earthwork fort from which uninterrupted views can be enjoyed.

Great place to stay
By Hazel and Dave on 11-Sep-2021This is a really lovely place to stay. The cottage was very clean and well appointed with everything we needed. There was a secluded garden seating area to catch the sun in the late afternoon and listen to the birds. There is a wealth of interesting books about the area and its history, plus walking guides, and Geoff lent us various Yellow Guide Walking maps which were very useful. The surrounding countryside is stunning. We ate out a couple of times; you do need to book ahead as many places were short staffed and only open on some days, because of Covid. Highly recommended.
Clean, quiet and pleasant
By Dafydd and Jennifer on 28-Aug-2021From a friendly welcome to the goodbye, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms were spotless and spacious. Very quiet surroundings. The location was good for exploring the many sites in the area. Many a good walk was had. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle you cannot go far wrong by staying at King Grove.
King Grove Barn
By Rhian on 31-Jul-2021A beautiful location away from it all with a very comfortable, well equipped cottage. The owners were on hand to help with any problems and gave us advice on the best walks to do locally. Lovely friendly dog that we loved meeting. Would thoroughly recommend for those wanting a break away in tranquil surroundings
