A quintessential Georgian property with attractive proportions and a superb modern extension. Sympathetically renovated throughout, and extended in 2019/20, to now offer an incredibly desirable home set over 3 floors, with generous room dimension, high ceilings and lots of natural light.
The flow to the house works really well, with an excellent marriage of traditional reception rooms and modern open plan living. There is a dual aspect drawing room and cosier sitting room - both with log burners - and a stylish open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting living space with bi-fold doors opening to the patio and wonderful gardens; which fall away into its own meadows and paddocks, and an exceptional vista of some of South Shropshire's finest countryside. An adjacent pantry-come-bootroom is a brilliant addition, as is the basement utility room. The connection to the wonderful gardens and grounds are excellent.
The shared spaces, of hallways and landings join the house up but is done so with flair and clever use of spaces such as window seats and book shelves. As with the rest of the house, the study, 4 double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms through first and second floors are tastefully decorated and styled with highend finishes. The property is double glazed throughout and electrical and plumbing systems have all been modernised. All together, an excellent set up.
The Granary annexe
Finished with the same eye for design and style as the main house. On the first floor there is a bright open-plan living space with seating area and log burner, an excellent kitchen/dining area leading out to a spacious balcony with space for tables and chairs, and boasting stunning views of rolling countryside. On the ground floor there is a large bedroom with French doors out to the patio, and a generous shower room. Next to the barn is the converted piggery which is now a utility/bootroom. This is currently used as a very successful holiday let but can equally form part of the main house accommodation.
Outside
Approaching the house, one turns off the road into a large gravelled parking area with plenty of space for parking and turning. A path meanders through a wonderful front garden up to the marvellous front aspect of the stone built house.
The formal gardens surround the house and annexe, along with various patio areas to enjoy position and views - particularly from the patio off the kitchen bi-fold doors. The land surrounds the house giving good control to 3 boundaries. There is a second entrance off the road for access to the farm buildings- these steel portal buildings are excellent, with two large stables, tack room, machinery store, and plenty of space for tractors and larger farm machinery, feed, hay and animals. PV Panels are on the roof of one of the barns which are on a feed in tariff.
There is a productive kitchen garden with raised beds, polytunnel, greenhouse and further scope and space to grow should one have particularly green fingers! An area of woodland coppice of ash, oak, beech, birch and hazel occupies the bottom corner close to the vegetable garden and smallest paddock. There is also a small orchard between the parking area and second entrance.
The main block of land is flat, well fenced pasture, with water to each field and can all be seen from the house and buildings.
About 9.5 acres in all.
