About

Situated in South Shropshire, approximately 15 minutes from Shrewsbury, Blackwood House is a contemporary Scandinavian-style new build defined by dark shou sugi ban timber cladding and expansive glazing. Surrounded by open countryside, the house combines architectural clarity with a calm, nature led interior aesthetic.

Extending to approximately 2,500 sq ft, the ground floor centres around an open-plan living, kitchen and dining space, designed with flow and natural light in mind. Large panes of glazing frame garden and landscape views, while pale wooden flooring runs throughout, reinforcing the sense of continuity. A utility and boot room, double-height hallway with feature staircase, powder/shower room, and a ground floor studio or bedroom complete the lower level.

Upstairs, a generous landing leads to a second floor living room with balcony overlooking the Shropshire Hills, creating an elevated vantage point and an additional backdrop. The primary suite includes an en suite and walk-in wardrobe, accompanied by a guest bedroom and a third bedroom currently used as an office.

The interior palette is neutral and tactile, combining natural materials and soft textures to create a composed, Scandinavian atmosphere. The architectural exterior, clad in charred timber, offers a strong visual identity from every angle, particularly effective in contrast with the surrounding greenery.

With capacity for up to 30 people, driveway parking for up to 10 cars or vans, Blackwood House offers a refined rural setting suited to lifestyle, fashion and filming productions.

A thoughtfully designed modern home with strong architectural character, abundant daylight and uninterrupted views across the Shropshire landscape.
