This 7-bedroom house is a late 16th-century listed country house in Chirbury, near Montgomery in South Shropshire. Set within extensive gardens and rolling lawns, the house is approached along a private driveway with spectacular views across the Shropshire Hills. This is a proper grand house with original features throughout including a baronial dining room.

The grounds are the real draw. There's a hot tub, fire pit, croquet lawn and a children's play area with climbing frame, slide and swings. Guests have spotted owls and red kites from the terrace.

The house sleeps 14 across 7 bedrooms: three super-king zip-and-link rooms (convertible to twins), two super-king rooms, one double and one twin. Five bathrooms include two family bathrooms with baths, an en-suite bathroom and two en-suite shower rooms. Multiple living spaces include a drawing room, TV room, baronial dining room and a further lounge.

Montgomery's medieval castle is 5 miles away. Church Stretton and the National Trust Long Mynd are 15 miles. Shrewsbury waterfront and restaurants are 20 miles away. Offa's Dyke Path runs nearby through the Welsh Marches.

This stay suits large family groups and multi-generational gatherings perfectly. Seven bedrooms, a hot tub and stunning Shropshire countryside make this one of the most complete large-group properties in the region.
