The Garden House at Apley Park is a five-bedroomed country home in the South Wing of Apley Hall, a magnificent mansion near Bridgnorth believed to be the inspiration behind P G Wodehouses’ famous novel Blandlings Castle.
The hall was built in 1811 in a Gothic style to emulate a romantic castle. It’s since been fully restored and divided into five beautiful homes, with the benefit of access to the Apley Park leisure facilties which include a swimming pool.
The Garden House offers light and elegant accomodation with high moulded ceilings, part panelled walls, attractive fireplaces and polished oak, parquet and stone flagstone floors.
Available to rent at £2,000 p.c.m through Fields of Shifnal on (01952) 460000.
