Since my grandmother died her idyllic old stone house (well cottage really),  in Shropshire has been passed on to my Uncle. I thought I'd put a couple of photos on here to show you the old stone building.

The cottage, built in the early 1800's and sitting in the hillside, originally belonged to the local Farrier. The stables are in the smaller building to the right. The house has 2 ft thick walls, original beams, and an original wooden spiral staircase leading up to 3 small bedrooms. It's a fantastic place in summer, but can be quite cool in winter, even with the open fire and Aga. The lane is only wide enough for one car at a time, and when the flock of sheep come running down it you have to back up the lane to the nearest grassy bank to allow them to pass.

Below is another view from Moelydd Hill, which is part of Offa's Dyke, described by Wikipedia as:

Offa's Dyke (Welsh: Clawdd Offa) is a massive linear earthwork, roughly following some of the current border between England and Wales. In places, it is up to 65 feet (20 m) wide (including its surrounding ditch) and 8 feet (2.5 m) high. In the 8th century it formed some kind of delineation between the Anglian kingdom of Mercia and the Welsh kingdom of Powys. It has been the subject of considerable research in recent years, dispelling many of the earlier understandings.
