Location

Ragleth House is located in Church Stretton and is within level walking distance of the Town amenities. Whilst benefitting from such a central position and occupying a generous plot, this beautiful property boasts views to the Stretton Hills from the rear aspect.

The scenic market town of Church Stretton often referred to as Little Switzerland is ideally placed midway between the county town of Shrewsbury and the renowned historic town of Ludlow.overview
