Property Summary
Originally the home of the De Charletons, one of Shropshire’s most distinguished families, The Great Hall is a fully modernised conversion of the main portion of a medieval castle, built around 1400 and remodelled in 1795. The Castle is Grade II* listed and has an interesting history; during the English Civil War it was the scene of bloody battles between Roundheads and Royalists. The Great Hall has two reception rooms. Leading off the entrance hall, the main room is the original, rather grand Great Hall itself, with an imposing 15 foot window and views to an open courtyard, which forms part of the property. There is also a dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, a toilet and a storeroom. An oak staircase leads to a spacious landing, off which there are 3 bedrooms and a minstrel gallery. The master bedroom has an attached bathroom, with bath and separate shower, the other two rooms being both double bedrooms. There is a family bathroom with bath and shower. Outside there is a small garden, parking for 5 cars and a storage shed. Apley Castle is a pleasant cul de sac leading to Apley Castle Woods, a 56 acre garden, laid out in the 19th century. It has a fishing lake, two ponds and much wildlife. Wellington is a small market town close to Telford (6 miles) Shrewsbury (12 miles) and Ludlow (20 miles). It has a main line station with direct trains to Birmingham and London. Shropshire is a largely rural county, with rolling hills and large areas of natural beauty.
