Severn Barn

Shrewsbury, Shropshire

A converted countryside barn for five people on the Attingham Park Estate.

Severn Barn is one of five newly-converted barns in the quiet northern part of the Attingham Estate. It is surrounded by 4,000 acres of park, farm and woodland. Built in the first half of the 1900s to house animals at the former farm of Berwick New House, the barn is now a light and comfortable space with plenty of character and charm.

On the ground floor the hallway leads to a kitchen with a dining area, and then a sitting room with woodburning stove. There is also a downstairs toilet.  Upstairs, there are two bedrooms with exposed beams. One is a family bedroom with both a king-size bed and a single bed, and the second is a double bedroom. The family bathroom is also on the first floor.

The five barns share an enclosed garden, with a lawn, a firepit ready for barbecues and a dining patio. Outside the barns you’ll also find electric car charging points, a bicycle store and a dog shower.  

There are a great many walks, cycle routes and waterways on the estate. A canal leads from the bottom of the drive to Berwick Wharf. You’ll have free entry to the Attingham Park’s Regency Mansion, Walled Garden and Field of Play, as well as other National Trust properties in the area during opening hours. There is access to the parkland anytime during your stay. Attingham’s Carriage House Café, Stables Shop and second-hand bookshop are open every day.
