Cronkhill Farmhouse occupies a delightful elevated position on the National Trust’s Attingham Park Estate. Dating from the 17th century, this Grade I listed timber-framed farmhouse was remodelled in 1801 by John Nash to match the adjoining property (a NT property, open 6 days a year). Period features abound internally, with beamed ceilings in many rooms. A walled garden with fruit trees and brick apple store also form part of the large and secure grounds of the Farmhouse. Offering spacious holiday accommodation, the property is ideal for larger parties and family reunions.

The first holiday house restored by Rupert Acton was The Shooting Lodge and he has since added Henley Farmhouse, Henley Cottage and Cronkhill Farmhouse. A further property, The Smithy, will become available in 2010. On its completion, Acton Scott will provide self catering holiday house accommodation for some fifty guests.
