Its heritage is steeped in royal connections - two kings of England stayed at Loton Park in 1806, in rooms and original beds that remain part of the Leighton family home today. Tucked within the Shropshire countryside, this striking former laundry house blends period architecture with beautifully designed interiors. From beamed ceilings and bold colours to cosy lounges and elegant bedrooms, every corner exudes warmth and character. Perfect for families or friends, it's a place to slow down, reconnect and enjoy the timeless charm of English country living. Guests can also enjoy access to the surrounding deer park, with scenic walks leading to local pubs. The space Entering through the estate's gates, the exterior immediately sets the tone for a stay rich in heritage and character. Wyvern House was adapted in 1843 by Sir Baldwin Leighton, 8th Baronet, to serve as the estate office, laundry, bakery and larder. Inside, two inviting living spaces offer the perfect balance of past and present, one filled with traditional charm, patterned textiles, warm tones and original elegant wall art throughout, including paintings by Mary, Lady Leighton dating back to the 18th century. The second living area brings a modern touch, a cosy lounge ideal for relaxed evenings, film nights or board games.

The kitchen is superbly equipped for both everyday living and special occasions. At its heart is a spacious range cooker, complemented by a fridge, freezer, dishwasher and ample preparation space. A generous eight-seater dining table sets the stage for leisurely breakfasts, elegant dinners and celebratory gatherings, while large windows frame views of the surrounding parkland, bringing the beauty of the Shropshire countryside indoors. Upstairs, four beautiful bedrooms combine period features with contemporary comfort, each with it's own unique view.
