Sellers Insight...
Set within beautiful rolling countryside and framed by 20 acres of ancient woodland, Ridgway Hall is just two miles away from charming Edgton village. The present owners explain that when they initially viewed the hall, the variety of trees, including beautiful redwoods dotted along the sweeping driveway, gave them an immediate sense of the surrounded serenity and felt like you were entering your own private piece of the world.

The house is a large, elegant and a modern country retreat which combines sophistication with great comfort. The elegant tone of the house is evident as soon as you enter the main hallway, where you are greeted by a magnificent fireplace, a large seating area, a soaring ceiling and impressive candelabra. It has an enormous wow factor, and the owners say the hallway has the distinction of a stately home but with an immediate sense of warmth. They recall hosting many gatherings of friends and family there, including regular visits from a sociable village.

.
The main hub of the home is the streamlined kitchen, warmed by the Aga and perfect for informal kitchen meals and entertaining. The cosy sitting room off the kitchen is ideal for quiet evenings at home: whilst the main lounge is a light flooded, graceful room and a more formal setting for guests. The owners stress that Ridgway Hall is the perfect sociable home, and with a very adaptable self-contained apartment provides perfect opportunities for multi-generational living. The outbuildings have enabled many individuals and businesses to enjoy wellbeing, corporate day events for small and large groups alike.

.
The owners have made most changes to the originally overrun garden and dilapidated fencing and now the two-tiered formal gardens reflect the elegance of the house and the secure boundary enables all types of domestic animals to roam freely. With twenty-two acres the owners have been able to introduce equestrian facilities that embrace the ‘Paddock Paradise’ and ‘Track System’ concept which allows horses the freedom to roam between woodland and field shelters whilst the menage is used for training and also provides a winter paddock. The adjoining training room enables commercial opportunities of all sorts as well as a fun space for family games evenings.

.
There is a magical quality to life at the hall, where you have the choice of woodland walks, strolls and rides along the bridleways, dog walks and children can build dens, fly drones and immerse themselves in nature, whilst adults can simply relax and observe the abundant wildlife of deer, muntjacs, kites and swooping house martins. The views from the top of the Ridgway Wood provide a stunning backdrop to the Shropshire Hills.

.
Ridgway Hall has an enviable location. Nearby Edgton has a busy social calendar centred round the village hall and the pleasing market towns of Bishops Castle and Church Stretton are a short car ride, with Ludlow under a half an hour away. For walks you are in the foothills of Long Mynd and there are many historic sites in the area.

The owners say Ridgway Hall is a very special property as it provides a graceful and luxurious home, equestrian excellence both within an idyllic natural oasis of beauty and calm. They take away many happy memories.
