School Farm, Lower Heath, Whitchurch

The House
The house is perfectly equipped as a multi generational family home with plentiful living space including a ground floor bedroom in addition to five first floor bedrooms.
Built approximately 300 years ago this charming period cottage, with fabulous original features, was extended in 2004 to provide modern living space and is finished to a very high standard. The impressive kitchen/diner, with separate pantry off, is complete with oak units, granite worksurface and brick Inglenook fireplace with room for a Rangemaster cooker. The stunning sitting room, with brick Inglenook with log-burning stove, exposed beams and orangery with bifold doors to the garden, is a wonderful family room. The ground floor also includes a further sitting room, with patio doors to the garden, a boot room, ground floor bedroom and bathroom. This area would be perfect for a dependant family member or staff. To the first floor are five bedrooms, the principal with ensuite bathroom with separate shower, and a family bathroom with separate shower.

The Outbuildings
The useful range of versatile outbuildings would lend themselves to a wide variety of purposes, not least of all equestrian. Set in a total of 4.96 Acres (2.01 Ha) it provides ample space for paddocks, manège, additional stabling (subject to any necessary planning consent) and
parking for a lorry.

There is a 80ft x 30ft open-fronted, portal-framed cattle shed with close boarded sides, a concrete floor and electric and water connected. The 40ft x 40ft fully clad agricultural building, with electric connected, is currently used as a workshop and for storage but it could be converted into American barn-style stabling subject to any necessary planning consents. This building
also has an adaptable mezzanine area covering approximately one third of the total area.
Furthermore there is a concrete block shippon providing general storage and a large hardcore yard area complete with wash-down area.

The Land
The land, which extends to approximately 4.96 Acres (2.01 Ha), lies to the front and one side of the house and is all in grass with a mixture of post and rail, post and wire and mature hedgerow boundaries.

The Location
School Farm is nestled in the beautiful and popular North Shropshire countryside with the busy market towns of Whitchurch and Market Drayton close by, both of which have traditional street markets and offer a range of amenities and facilities including artisan shops.
The area is extremely well-served educationally with a variety of state and private primary and secondary schools along with Harper Adams University at Newport. The road and rail links in the area provide an excellent opportunity for the buyer to combine an idyllic rural lifestyle with travelling for work. There is a network of quiet country lanes surrounding the property, ideal for exercising horses or just enjoying the unspoilt countryside. There is no doubt that whilst this lovely property will appeal to equestrians, it will also appeal to those wanting to run a business from home.
