Description
Chevaliers Gatehouse, a luxury holiday home in Shropshire, combines the glories of the past with the comforts of the present. The Gatehouse is a Grade I 'Elizabethan gem' (as described by Sir Simon Jenkins in the Best Houses of England) and boasts four poster and half-tester beds with roll top baths and luxurious Lefroy Brooks bathrooms. This gem is located within a secluded hamlet near Bridgnorth and Much Wenlock and includes a courtyard and private garden. Enjoy the beautiful flower beds, fruit trees and a bubbling fountain on a quiet morning, or explore the region’s historic sites, scenic walks and gastro hotspots.
With the perfect combination of romantic history and modern comforts, The Gatehouse comfortably sleeps four guests across two luxury suites on separate floors. To reflect its storied past, the expansive suites are named after Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Prince Rupert, two of the home’s many illustrious visitors. Nephew to Charles I, Prince Rupert slept in the enormous second story bedroom while he commanded royalist troops during the Civil War. A set of linen tapestries in the gatehouse honours him. The Prince Rupert Suite, on the top floor, has a super-king four poster bed decorated with fabrics from Zoffany's award winning Arden collection by artisan neo-Elizabethan artist Melissa White. The spiral oak staircase is original. The Thatcher Suite, with a king-size half-tester bed, has its own sitting room with Tudor plasterwork, SKY TV and an open Tudor fire. While the two bedrooms will make you feel like royalty, the updated bathroom fittings, fully equipped modern kitchen and digital TV will keep you in contemporary comfort.
There is a fully fitted kitchen and hunting lodge style dining room decorated in murals. There is a beautiful trellis garden in the Elizabethan style with a fountain surrounded by apple trees.
Chevaliers Gatehouse makes the ideal family holiday rental being near the M5, M6, M40 and M54 motorways, as well as 15 miles from the Telford Central train station, and 40 miles from Birmingham International Airport.
