## About The Property

This fantastic architectural renovation has created a jewel of a holiday house in Shropshire, in the heart of Bishop's Castle. Full of original features, and sleeping 14 guests, Bank House is the perfect family and friends holiday house, great as a base for exploring the Shropshire countryside or as somewhere to celebrate a special occasion. Hire the house on a self catering basis or consider exclusive use for bed and breakfast if you prefer. Small wedding groups might opt for the luxury accommodation at Bank House as well as plenty of photo opportunities such as the spectacular Georgian entrance hall and double staircase worthy of any bridal party. It's possible to configure the bedrooms for 14 single beds too, so convenient for a walking or cycling group looking to make the most of local trails.

On arrival guests will be met with a warm welcome and homemade cake before discovering the living areas on the ground floor. The kitchen comes with all modern appliances and is set up for group meals. Owner Gerry can provide you with a list of local caterers for a big birthday or anniversary feast. Inside dining for 14 means that everyone can eat together, or gather outside on the south facing deck terrace for a barbecue. The wood panelled sitting room is a gorgeous cosy space with a wood burning stove and lots of comfy seating to unwind in, complete with a Smart TV, Netflix and a DVD player.

5 bedrooms provide opulence and luxury. They can be set up as superkings or twins (zip and link) and extra singles can be added to 3 rooms to make them into family rooms. Individually designed, the bedrooms all have tasteful soft furnishings and en suite facilities to add to the comfort. Interestingly, it is believed that the en suite in Caradoc, added in Victorian times, was the first bathroom ever built in Bishop's Castle. This bedroom also has a beautiful roll top bath and separate shower. Bedrooms overlook the gardens or the high street below.

Bishop's Castle has a great feel, and is known for its music festivals. Take a trip around the Three Tuns Brewery or go on the 40 Lost Pubs of Bishop's Castle tour. Wander around the shops and stop off for a coffee at one of the many cafes. For outdoor enthusiasts, work through the list of 50 Great Shropshire Hills or venture onto Offa's Dyke to enjoy fabulous scenery. Ludlow is a lovely place to visit with a wonderful castle, market and an annual food festival. Ironbridge is within reach of Bishop's Castle too, for a great day out with the family.
