The property has four reception rooms, large kitchen, ground floor shower room and cellar. To the 1st floor there are five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The property has a large detached garage block with rooms above.

Description - Creamore Villa was first noted in the 1871 Census but is believed to date back to the 1850’s. More recently occupied as a spacious family home with large gardens, the property is well-known locally as a former veterinary practice and also as a garden centre. The property is being sold with NO CHAIN. With some cosmetic modernisation and improvements, the house offers ample flexibility for adaption to suit different usages. The garage block is similarly suited to being developed to provide further ancillary accommodation.

Situation - The property is set in a desirable location on the edge of the small market town of Wem, within easy travelling distance of the county towns of Shrewsbury & Chester. Road links to the A49 and A41 provide access to Cheshire and the West Midlands conurbations. Wem railway station on the Manchester to Cardiff line is a 2 minute drive away, giving access to northbound trains to Crewe and southbound trains to Shrewsbury for onward connections.

Schooling - Thomas Adams School is less than a mile away, and a number of highly-rated state and private schools are within a short drive including Ellesmere College, Shrewsbury School, Shrewsbury High School, Packwood Haugh, Prestefelde Prep School, Adcote School for Girls and Wrekin College.

Accommodation - The property has been tastefully cared for and improved by the family over recent years and yet retains many original features. The canopied front entrance porch opens into the hall for access to the front stairs, living room and study. A door through to an inner hall leads to a second oak staircase, a large dining room, drawing room with feature fire place and French doors to the patio and gardens. Off the inner hall there is also a shower room and a door to the dry cellar downstairs which was recently used for wine storage and for home-made wine and beer production. Beyond the dining room is the kitchen with oak wall and base units, utility area with ceramic Belfast sink and porched rear door to the courtyard area.
The first floor is accessed from both staircases and has a door separating the front and rear parts of the landing. To the front of the house are two double bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom with roll top bath and separate shower. To the rear is a master bedroom with wonderful large lantern style roof light and en-suite bathroom with spa bath. Next to this is a double bedroom with French doors out onto a balcony overlooking the garden. There is also a family bathroom adjacent to this bedroom. A further bedroom with luxury en-suite shower room is currently divided into two areas but could easily be reverted into one large double bedroom.

Outside & Gardens - Creamore Villa is approached from the B5476 Whitchurch Road via ornate metal gates to the front and a tarmac access road to the side that is shared with five neighbouring houses. The rear courtyard area is bounded on one side by a detached garage block comprising a generous double garage and two single garages with rooms above which could also be converted into office space or extra accommodation. Behind the garage block is an extensive lean-to greenhouse in need of renovation, and beyond that a large kitchen garden and a garden shed.

The gardens extend to 2/3 of an acre and comprise lawns, flower borders with a wide variety of plants, trees and shrubs and a south–facing paved patio area. In the far corner of the garden is a powered water feature in need of re-landscaping.
