Description

Lower House Farmhouse is a charming period village house featuring numerous exquisite details such as sash windows, high ceilings, and cornicing. Believed to date back to the Georgian era with a Victorian extension, it boasts generously proportioned rooms that provide ample living space. While the house requires updating, it offers a fantastic opportunity for those seeking a village property with good commuting links.

The main house welcomes you with a wonderful reception hall adorned with decorative quarry tiling and an elegant staircase leading to the first floor. The drawing room features a floor-to-ceiling sash bay window with working shutters. This room could be re-purposed to a bedroom, should a ground floor bedroom be required.

There are three spacious reception rooms in total, a store/larder, and a kitchen breakfast room with an inner hall that leads to the back staircase and side door.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom includes a large en suite bathroom. There are three additional double bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom. A further double bedroom, shower room, and separate toilet are located at the top of the back staircase. The second floor features a small landing area with access to the attic and roof space.

The outbuildings complement the main house beautifully and offer significant potential for further development (subject to the necessary planning permissions). They could be converted into offices, games rooms, or a leisure suite, presenting endless possibilities.

At the entrance to the property, there is a separate traditional brick outbuilding that could serve as garaging or additional accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The property is accessed via a gate off the access lane next to the house, leading to a no-through road and other properties. The driveway opens into a courtyard surrounded by the outbuildings.

Location

The village of Knockin is a picturesque locale with beautiful period properties and a history spanning over 800 years. It is surrounded by scenic rolling countryside. Nearby villages such as Nesscliffe and Kinnerley, both within a short drive, offer primary schools, village halls, pubs, and vibrant communities.

The market town of Oswestry is located about 5 miles away and features a variety of high street and independent shops, supermarkets, and the market hall. It is home to The Marches Academy, Oswestry School, and numerous restaurants and cafes.

Approximately 11 miles to the east lies the county town of Shrewsbury, offering a broader array of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, a market hall, cafes, and coffee shops. Shrewsbury also boasts Theatre Severn and Quarry Park, which host various activities and events throughout the year.

Nesscliffe Hill and the Cliffe heritage site, encompassing 70 hectares, is a delightful destination. The area includes wooded hills and a heather-covered ridge, making it ideal for walking and providing expansive views over Shropshire and towards the Welsh hills. The site also features an Iron Age hill fort and a cave within the sandstone cliff, reputedly the hideout of the medieval outlaw Humphrey Kynaston.
