Maesbury Marsh, Oswestry, Shropshire

The property
The Wharfingers is a majestic and beautifully proportioned home that has been carefully and stylishly restored over the last fifteen years. Reputedly designed and built in 1830 as the Wharfingers house for the local canal, the property was divided into two in later years.

The Wharfingers House is a fine example of Regency architecture. Period features and architectural details provide immense interest and character both internally and externally. Internally these details include hand turned staircase, panelled doors, window reveals, deep carved skirting boards and architraves, Coalbrookdale fireplaces, feature plasterwork cornicing and original wooden floors. Externally the hidden gutters, sash windows and wide panelled doors are of significant note, the Welsh slate roof, decorative painted window tax windows and three sided central two storey bay create an impressive and charming Regency exterior.

The wide front door opens to the formal reception hall where the staircase rises upwards. The dining and drawing room all enjoy excellent proportions and offer flexible accommodation for both entertaining and family living. The heart of this special home is the breakfast kitchen with beautiful, handcrafted cabinetry under contrasting wooden worktops. A clever use of a peninsular run of cupboards and wooden floor and tiles divide the area into two.

The useful cellars and cloakroom with WC complete the ground and lower ground floors. To the half landing is a tall arched window. On the first floor are three large double bedrooms, one with dressing room. These are complemented by a shower room and bathroom that have both been refitted with traditional sanitaryware.

Outside
Externally, The Wharfingers is set within a walled horticultural oasis of gardens to the front of the property.

Mature specimen shrubs and herbaceous planting are complemented by well stocked floral borders and lawn areas and paved al fresco dining areas. There are raised beds and two useful garden sheds. Gates lead to the tarmac parking area.

Location
