Situation: Dorrington House is a striking Georgian Grade II Listed detached family residence dating back to the late 1700's with a rich history and many beautiful features, a converted coach house, courtyard and beautiful landscaped gardens, boasting awe-inspiring views towards The Lawley and Caer Caradoc, enjoying a desirable location on the fringe of the village of Dorrington.

Originally three eighteenth century cottages, which now form the 2-storey rear of the property. The distinctive 3-storey frontage was added circa. 1800 with south-facing stunning views over open Shropshire countryside.

Dorrington offers a selection of amenities including a primary school, shop/post office, butchers, church, village hall and pub/restaurant. The county town of Shrewsbury is just a 15-minute drive away with its excellent shopping centre, social and leisure facilities, and well-renowned independent and state schools including Shrewsbury School and Prestfelde School.

The surrounding countryside offers some lovely walks including along the Long Mynd, with Church Stretton sitting in its shadow.
A rail service provides links to Crewe and Manchester or alternatively Birmingham and London. Regional airports include Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham.

Dorrington House has been extensively modernised and provides versatility in the use of the accommodation arranged over three floors, yet retains a plethora of period features including numerous period fireplaces and high ceilings in the three formal reception rooms consisting of a drawing room, dining room and morning room.

There is a wealth of history relating to the house, including the association with Dr William Farr, the founder of medical statistics, decorated army officer LtCol Joseph Westley and World War II Anglo-American spy, codenamed "Cynthia".

The bespoke kitchen has been designed by locally renowned David Orton which features granite worktops, a Smeg range cooker and has a semi open-plan feeling with the adjacent breakfast room. Dorrington House also boasts a fabulous single chamber wine cellar, study, utility room, and glass fronted rear walk-way.

On the first floor there are five bedrooms served by three bath/shower rooms, whilst on the second floor there is a self contained apartment with three additional bedrooms, bathroom and kitchenette. The versatility of Dorrington House lends itself extremely well to multigenerational living.
