House by the river Severn in Jackfield

Situated in Jackfield, just down the Severn river from Ironbridge, this charming four-bedroom terraced house set-back from the river, was converted from an old tile factory. Newly renovated, it offers a wonderful base from which to explore the Ironbridge Gorge and museums, and to enjoy the Shropshire countryside. Downstairs, the house offers kitchen, dining room, lounge and cloakroom. Upstairs, two double and two single bedrooms. It has a small front garden.

We like to have some sort of vague idea of who is coming to the house, so if you want to book, we do appreciate just a few details about the group: is it a family or friends, a very rough idea of age range, any pets and the number of cars that might be coming. It's really helpful if you can supply this. Pricing is based on a group of 4. There is a per guest additional charge for groups of 5 or 6.
