The Brake offers groups of up to four guests a luxurious woodland hideaway, perfect for those seeking a serene escape away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Nestled in the heart of Shropshire, this beautifully designed space brings guests closer to nature, providing them with much-needed time to simply be together in a stunning setting. The space seamlessly blends with the landscape, offering breathtaking views of rolling countryside and the Clee Hills from the kitchen and master bedroom. The living room and second bedroom invite the outdoors in, surrounded by the vivid depth of the woods and providing fantastic opportunities for nature spotting.
When the weather's warm, gather on your private deck. Here you can unwind with your loved ones in the comfy seats or relax with a good book breathing in the fresh air. And when the day starts to cool, light the firepit and toast marshmallows over the flames as the stars come out above!
The master suite features a comfortable double bed and a luxury bathtub with panoramic views of the Clee Hills. Fill the tub, grab a book and relax in true style next to the huge window that perfectly frames the view. The second bedroom has flexible sleeping arrangements that allow for a twin or double setup, tailored to your specific needs. Both bedrooms also feature ensuite bathrooms that offer a touch of luxury with rainfall showers, stylish microcement finishes and underfloor heating to keep your toes toasty all year round.
When it comes to filling your days, be sure to unwind by the warmth of the woodburning stove, enjoying the sweeping views extending into the lush greenery. The fully fitted kitchen is equipped with modern appliances, including a dishwasher, fridge-freezer, oven, hob and wine fridge, ensuring you have everything needed for a delicious home-cooked meal. The cute dining area and indoor/outdoor breakfast bar are perfect for any weather, and a secure area is available for pets to enjoy the surroundings worry-free!
Sustainability has been at the forefront of the property’s design, with recycled materials used wherever possible. The accommodation has been built using repurposed shipping containers, topped with solar panels for a renewable energy source. Ash from the on-site woodland, milled on-site, has been utilised throughout, embodying the commitment to environmental responsibility.
If you wish to venture out and explore the area, you are lucky enough to be located in 22 acres of private woodland. And slightly further afield is the Shropshire Hills National Landscape, which is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, that provides you with countless beautiful walking opportunities, amazing views and lots of unique places to visit and things to do. Explore ancient castles and fortifications, wander wild open spaces on the top of Long Mynd and visit a number of quaint and historic villages and market towns.
