Raven Barn, Adderley, TF9 3TQ

**stylish four-bedroom barn conversion - with a-rated eco-credentials, tucked away in a private courtyard in Adderley** There's something special about a barn conversion.

The exposed timbers, vaulted ceilings, the warmth and character that comes with a building that's been around for generations.

But what makes this particular home a little different is just how much thought and investment has gone into bringing it up to date.

Over recent years, the current owners have made significant improvements, creating a home that retains all those lovely original features whilst offering the comforts, practicality and energy efficiency you'd expect from a much more modern property.

And with an a-rated Energy Performance Certificate, it's fair to say this isn't your typical barn conversion!

**Old-world charm, modern-day efficiency** One of the things that really sets this home apart is its energy efficiency.

As part of the improvements, the current owners have installed an air source heat pump, alongside an impressive 13-panel solar array supported by a 13.5kWh Tesla battery storage system - allowing the home to make the most of the energy it generates.

New double glazing and external wall insulation have also been added, helping to keep the warmth in and the running costs down.

And with energy costs being such a consideration for homeowners these days, it's reassuring to know that so much of the hard work has already been taken care of.

**Plenty of character, with all the comforts of home** Step inside and you immediately get the sense of a warm family home that is loved.

Exposed beams and stripped wooden doors greet you in the spacious central entrance hall.

To one side is a large living room with stunning vaulted ceilings and a log burner as its focal point - plenty of space for family and friends to relax, and wonderfully cosy on a winter evening with the fire crackling away.

On the opposite side of the entrance hall is the kitchen and dining room, which offers plenty of space for a large family dining table - whether it's the usual weekday chaos at breakfast time or a more leisurely Sunday lunch with friends and family.

The kitchen itself has a warm, traditional feel, with wooden worktops, fitted units and integrated cooking appliances, whilst still providing all the practicality you'd want for everyday living.

Leading off the kitchen is the ever-useful utility room - one of those spaces that you really appreciate having, especially in a busy family home.

Head upstairs and the character continues, perhaps even more impressively.

There are four bedrooms, with beautiful vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams and occasional glimpses of original brickwork adding plenty of personality.

It's these original features that make barn conversions so appealing, and they're certainly not in short supply here.

The bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, whilst the principal bedroom also benefits from its own stylish en-suite shower room.

**The Garden** Step outside and you'll find a delightful, fully enclosed garden with a southerly aspect, making it a wonderful spot to enjoy the sunshine throughout much of the day.

There's a patio area too, providing the perfect place for a morning coffee, a leisurely lunch in the sunshine or perhaps a barbecue with friends and family on a warm summer's evening.

It's a natural extension of the living space, with room to relax, entertain or simply enjoy a bit of peace and quiet.

And with all that beautiful Shropshire countryside on the doorstep, there's certainly no shortage of places to explore when you fancy venturing a little further afield.

**Village life, countryside walks and plenty to explore** If you love the idea of living somewhere peaceful, surrounded by beautiful countryside and farmers' fields, but still within easy reach of everyday amenities, Adderley is certainly worth a closer look.

Positioned close to the Shropshire and Cheshire border, between Market Drayton and Audlem, it's a charming rural village with a welcoming sense of community.

Within the village itself, you'll find an 'Outstanding' rated primary school, bowls club and village hall, whilst the surrounding countryside offers some wonderful opportunities for walking and enjoying the outdoors.

The Shropshire Union Canal runs through Adderley, where boats negotiate the Adderley Locks on their way between Cheshire and Shropshire.

For a little more hustle and bustle, the nearby village of Audlem offers a good range of everyday amenities, including independent shops, a Co-op, post office, medical centre, cafés, pubs, takeaways, butchers and pharmacy.

And when you need a wider choice of shops and facilities, the towns of Market Drayton, Whitchurch and Nantwich are all within reach, with Whitchurch also offering a mainline railway station.

It's a lovely balance - peaceful village life, beautiful countryside and the convenience of having everything you need not too far away. *Please be sure to review the floor plans (incl.
