Stockbatch Granary
Stockbatch Granary which sleeps 14 is reached by a mile-long drive passing through the fields of corn and grazing sheep of the 1,000 acres Pitchford Estate. It comprises an 18th-century granary, clapperboard barn, stables and cowsheds, and nestles on a south-facing slope, at the bottom of which a stream wends its way under an old red sandstone bridge.
A large courtyard garden enclosed by a stone wall gives a panoramic view of the Shropshire Hill Country. The owners' flock of pedigree Zwartbles sheep graze in the field and the apple orchard just by the Granary.
Within six miles of Stockbatch Granary is historic Shrewsbury with its fascinating architecture, castle, farmers market, shops and wealth of pubs and restaurants. Easily accessible is popular Church Stretton, historic Much Wenlock (birthplace of the modern Olympic Games) and Shropshire's finest town Ludlow, framed by the gentle Clee Hill, with its impressive castle, magnificent church, half-timbered buildings and Georgian red-brick houses. Attingham Park (NT) and the World Heritage site of Ironbridge Gorge are all within easy driving distance.
