Nestled on a quiet no-through road, the property offers a peaceful lifestyle surrounded by open countryside, yet is just a short drive-or a scenic countryside walk-from the market town of Wem. Adding to the appeal is a detached two-storey barn, complete with a garage and carport which comes with full planning permission to add a first-floor extension over the garage and create a balcony-offering a fantastic opportunity to develop secondary accommodation for guests or multi-generational living. The main residence effortlessly blends historic character with comfortable rural living, offering a quirky layout full of personality. The accommodation includes an Entrance Porch leading into a welcoming Hallway with wood flooring, a cosy Lounge with log burner, and a separate Snug-ideal for relaxing or working from home. The country-style Kitchen is the heart of the home, complete with doors that open straight onto the garden, perfect for summer living. The ground floor also features a Double Bedroom, a Family Bathroom, and a separate Shower Room-providing flexibility for guests or single-level living. Upstairs, you'll find Two Further Bedrooms, including the Master Bedroom with an adjoining Dressing Room, offering a lovely sense of space and privacy.

Outside, the generous gardens are a true highlight, with a mix of lawn, paved patio area, vegetable patch, greenhouse, mature trees and shrubs, and an attractive pond with large rockery. There are also several timber outbuildings including a summer house, sauna, and an additional shed which would make the perfect home office or studio.
