Description
The Drift House

The Drift House, Springfield Barns occupies a most attractive rural position just beyond the village of Baschurch, set amidst rolling Shropshire countryside and enjoys a wonderfully open outlook within a countryside setting. The house enjoys private gardens on three elevations.

The Drift House is a striking and highly individual country home, created through the thoughtful conversion of traditional farm buildings, where characterful features are combined with a stylish and contemporary finish.

The principal house offers an impressive sense of volume and light, with the main reception room enjoying a triple aspect and full-height glazing, with bi-fold doors opening seamlessly onto the central courtyard, creating a superb connection between inside and out. The adjoining kitchen/dining room, with bi-fold barn doors, forms a true focal point of the house, generously proportioned and well equipped, with a central island, integrated appliances and feature fireplace, perfectly suited to both family living and entertaining on a larger scale.

The layout has been carefully considered to offer flexibility, including, a boot room, a ground floor bedroom, which is ideal for guests or extended family, alongside a separate home office and utility room.

Upstairs, with three well proportioned bedrooms off the main landing and a galleried landing, provides an impressive sense of arrival to the beautifully appointed principal suite with dressing area and en suite. Each of the additional bedrooms benefits from built-in storage, while the family bathroom is finished to a high standard.

The Cottages & Outside

A particularly notable feature of Springfield Barns is the inclusion of two beautifully designed holiday cottages that are purposely designed to give independent access away from the principal house. Both are finished to an excellent specification and offering immediate lifestyle and income potential. Each enjoys open-plan living accommodation with vaulted ceilings and exposed timbers, creating bright and characterful spaces. The Parlour includes a log-burning stove, double bedroom and en suite, while The Dairy offers a well-proportioned studio-style layout, making them ideally suited for short term letting or visiting guests.

Externally, the principal property is arranged around a central courtyard approached through five-bar timber gates, creating a cohesive and highly attractive setting with ample parking. The integrated garage links seamlessly with the main house and cottages, enhancing practicality. A substantial barn, in the rear garden provides excellent additional space, incorporating workshop areas, storage and a covered open-sided entertaining area with a bar, dining and lounge area offering an excellent setting for hosting and outdoor dining.

Beyond the courtyard, a gently sloping field extends to approximately 3 acres, providing further versatility and potential for a range of uses, including equestrian interests, smallholding or amenity land. Overall, Springfield Barns represents a highly versatile and engaging country property, combining quality accommodation, ancillary income potential and an excellent range of outbuildings within a sought-after Shropshire setting.
