The Shippen is a peaceful and inviting mobility friendly retreat set in the tranquil Shropshire countryside, just twenty minutes north of Bishops Castle. This charming studio style property has been designed with comfort, space, and accessibility in mind, making it an ideal escape for couples or small groups seeking a quiet rural getaway. Surrounded by rolling hills and lush valleys, it offers a restorative base for exploring the Shropshire Hills while providing a cosy and thoughtfully arranged home to return to each day.
Inside, the open plan layout creates a welcoming flow throughout the living, sleeping, and dining areas. A comfortable double bed and an additional double sofa bed accommodate up to four guests, making the space flexible and easy to adapt for different group sizes. Level access and step free entry ensure that moving around the property is effortless for guests with mobility needs. The wet room is fully equipped for accessible use, offering a wheel in shower, free standing shower seat, wheel under wash basin, and supportive design features that prioritise safety and independence.
The kitchen continues this commitment to accessibility, featuring a low height oven and easy to reach amenities so that everyone can enjoy preparing meals without difficulty. The living area feels warm and inviting, with a corner sofa and a log burner that brings a comforting atmosphere on cooler evenings. French doors lead directly onto the level rear decking, where guests can relax and enjoy uninterrupted views across the valley, making it a perfect spot for morning coffee or peaceful evenings outdoors.
Despite its rural setting, The Shippen is conveniently located close to amenities. A twenty minute drive brings you to Churchstoke Shopping Centre, where you’ll find a Co op supermarket, a weekly car boot sale, and an electric vehicle charging point. It’s a useful stop for stocking up on supplies or exploring local produce before returning to the calm of the countryside.
Blending rustic charm, thoughtful accessibility, and beautiful natural surroundings, The Shippen offers a memorable and mobility friendly retreat for guests seeking comfort, quiet, and the freedom to explore Shropshire at their own pace.
