The Stables is a tasteful renovation of a former stable originally housed the horses, trap and tack for Allscott House. It has provided useful and substantial storage for many years but is now well-established as a super individual self-catering, short tenancy / holiday let.

The accommodation itself comprises a comfortable lounge/dining room, well-equipped kitchen, shower room and bedroom, all accessed from a light and airy hall.
The lounge Is Light and airy with exposed beams and floored with bricks recovered from the conversion itself. It has a high ceiling allowing exposure of the round window, formerly the pitching hole, which allows sunshine to bounce off the ladder wall and leave a circular shadow picture of the ceiling light. A stable ladder, accessing the loft, for maintenance use adds to the ambiance and character of the room. There are two sofas for extra comfort and for entertainments, there is a TV, Hifi with iPOD dock and DVD player - as well as lots of books
The kitchen is very well equipped and has a large frig/freezer, hob, oven, microwave as well as a washing machine and dishwasher.
In the shower room is a heated radiator to keep your towels dry and a shaving plug and mirror light help personal preparation.
The bedroom has a high ceiling with exposed beams and a high window lets in morning light, supporting a larger window opening to the outside space and paddock.
All accessed from a hall with exposed beams and quarry tiles recovered in the conversion, The Stables is a character filled, quality let.
The whole is heated electrically using night storage heaters and various radiators and fire.
There is underfloor heating to the kitchen and shower room.

Where discount has been applied - i.e. for stays of more than a fortnight, because of the naturally varied habits and needs of guests, electricity is payable as used and is charged in addition to the rental itself.

The location
Near the Wrekin and next to the Shropshire Way, a bridleway here, the property sits within the courtyard of Allscott House and, at the edge of the hamlet, enjoys private access to the conifer-hedged lawn which was formerly the paddock. Crossing the road, there is private space next to the river Tern and access to the bridleway, a bridge over the river Tern allows access to a quiet walk next to the river and then to quiet, flat roads which lend themselves to strolling, bike-riding and horse riding through peaceful surroundings. These roads can also form part of a circular, 5 mile route, giving access to Telford’s first aqueduct at Longden-on-Tern.

Whilst Shrewsbury and Telford are both within easy shopping distance, there are no shops within 2 miles but there are pubs, allowing for meals out when cooking doesn’t appeal. As well as all the usual supermarkets, superb take-away restaurants deliver here.

For lovers of history, Allscott is very close to Attingham Park, a splendid National Trust mansion and grounds. Haughmond Abbey and Hill are close by, on the way to the County town of Shrewsbury, which is rich in wonderful buildings housing many places to eat as well as both individual shops and small chain stores. Shrewsbury has an award-winning market as well as the riverside theatre and luxurious, small, buttercross cinema in the square. River trips are available in summer months.
Nearby is the Roman town of Wroxeter, where visitors can see the ruins and the new ‘Roman’ manor house, the building of which was featured on television. The vineyard there is well worth a visit.
An obvious ‘must’ is Ironbridge Gorge, a World heritage site with a wealth of interest and housing several museums, each of international interest and with attractions for all ages.
Venturing further, Hawkestone Park and its follies provide a very interesting, if testing, walk with spectacular views.

For business users, the Stables provides quiet relaxation after a long day at work and is without the normal blandness of a hotel room.

Linen is provided and your bed made up so you can start to enjoy yourself as soon as you arrive.
