Introduction
Welcome to Caractacus, a rare example of a Shropshire longhouse, located in the peaceful village of Chapel Lawn, near Bucknell. This is an unspoiled, welcoming property offering the opportunity for the right purchaser to create a meaningful and beautiful home.
Caractacus is one of the oldest houses within the sought after hamlet of Chapel Lawn, nestled in the Redlake Valley and set within the beautiful Shropshire Hills, a designated area of outstanding natural beauty.
The area offers a peaceful rural lifestyle while being conveniently close to the towns of Clun and Knighton, providing access to local amenities, shops, and
Schools, and less than 4 miles from the railway station at Bucknell.
Property Description
Upon entering the property through the covered wooden porch, you are greeted by a spacious lounge, featuring a fireplace with clearview wood burning stove, perfect for cosy evenings. Ceiling beams and uprights adorn this lovely south facing room.
From the lounge you take the glassed paned door, leading into the rustic country
kitchen, which has the original quarry tiled flooring, and a mixture of free standing and fixed units. In front of the window a deep Belfast sink is inset into bespoke carpenter built pine cupboard unit and on the other side of the kitchen counters have been built with storage space and under counter fridge, and electric cooker.
Vintage shutter doors lead to the dining room / conservatory, with views from every window overlooking the garden and open countryside.
From the lounge is a further area currently used as utility and a bathroom which is adjacent to the large downstairs bedroom.

bedroom with views to both front and rear over open countryside. On the left of the large open plan landing are two further bedrooms and a newly installed shower room.
Gardens and Parking
The gardens surround the property and are laid out as a meadow garden, with
mature apple trees and an abundance of wild flowers, birds and wildlife.
The front of the house is south facing and enjoys views to the hill fort of Caer Caradoc.
The countryside is to the front and rear of the property offering seclusion, and
a wonderful backdrop to watch the seasons change. There is a large carport to the front, with a small workshop tucked away at the end. There is ample parking on the drive for 3 + vehicles as well as the carport.

Location
Chapel Lawn is a small village in southwest Shropshire, England, nestled within the Redlake Valley, some three miles south of the small town of Clun.
Chapel Lawn lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty bounded to the north by Bryneddin Wood, an ancient deciduous wood, part of which is owned by a local community group and actively managed for conservation.
To the south is the hill, Caer Caradoc on top of which can be found a fine Iron Age fort where skylarks abound.
There is a thriving village hall in the centre of Chapel Lawn offering, art classes, talks, films and a pop up pub, run by and for the local community.
The area has many fine walks with spectacular views across Shropshire and right into West Wales. If you wish to explore the local area when viewing the property walkers are free to leave their cars at the village hall car park.
Agents note
The property is in need of updating, although it is habitable and in a glorious location.
