Set in a former sweet shop, this country village home pays homage to its previous life with lemon wallpaper, pastel pink dressers, and bright furnishings. Perfect for a couple or small family, the house is set over several floors, with original oak beams running through rooms and the shop front windows now forming part of the living room. On sunny days, we love the roof terrace for alfresco glasses of wine, or curling up on the L-shaped sofa downstairs if the weather isn't playing ball. The separate kitchen has got all the equipment needed for cooking meals but we prefer sauntering over to Clays of Broseley, or walking to the Duke of York pub mere steps away. During the day, there are plenty of hiking routes and UNESCO world heritage site Ironbridge is less than a 5-minute drive.
