*Guide Price: 800,000 – 850,000

‘Derryvale’ is a stunning, individually designed family home sitting in approximately half an acre of beautiful Shropshire woodland. Originally a period cottage, the current owners have put everything in to creating a modern, eco-friendly residence whilst being careful to retain some of the original homes most treasured characteristics. No expense has been spared, and quality improvements have been made throughout which include; Glass balconies to the front and rear, Air source heat pump, Oak flooring, underfloor heating and triple glazing throughout most of the property.

This property has been thoughtfully designed from top to bottom and is presented to a show house standard, perfect for large families that desire a rural setting surrounded by nature, whilst being within easy reach of the local amenities, schools, shops and transport links that Shrewsbury offers, with the town being just 8 miles away. Much Wenlock is slightly closer and also offers an array of local amenities.

The main residence is approached via a gravel driveway with ample parking spaces. There is a detached double garage at the top of the drive, adjacent to a detached self-contained, fully fitted annexe, complete with a double bedroom, shower room and kitchen/living room, that would be a perfect holiday let. Entering the property itself, the stunning vaulted entrance hall leads directly in to the open plan, living/dining area. The exposed beams of the original cottage feature heavily in this space and are a well balanced contrast to the otherwise ultra-modern feel of their surroundings. There is a cloakroom and guest W.C near the entrance and the original cosy lounge with its fireplace has been retained. To the rear of the lounge is a study with views over the rear garden. Continuing through the ground floor is a modern stylish kitchen/diner with two stations that would be perfect for someone that enjoys cooking, with an island hob and fitted hob on the units. A triple glazed family room with views out to the rear garden and woodland at the rear of the property, a covered al-fresco dining area, utility room and boot room complete the ground floor. Upstairs are four bedrooms, with two having En-suite shower rooms and a family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms including the principle suite have balconies, one to the rear of the property and one to the front.

The front of the property hosts a cottage style front garden, laid to lawn and well kept. To the rear of the property are the private rear gardens, that continue down landscaped banks to the brook, with its unspoilt woodlands as its backdrop, offering its new owners a slice of tranquillity.

Derryvale is one of those properties that needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated.

We asked the current owners what they like most about living there:
"We love the peace, tranquility and the views, particularly from the kitchen and family room. We also love the fact we're not far from Shrewsbury and its amenities. It means we can get to our gym in less than 15 mins. Being in the countryside also means we're surrounded by some amazing walks and trails, all on our doorstep.."
