Description - A private, beautifully positioned country home with stunning gardens, open views, and excellent potential – all within walking distance of village amenities.

Tucked away in the sought-after village of Babbinswood, Chesterfield is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-proportioned three-bedroom detached home set in approximately half an acre of landscaped, prize-winning gardens, enjoying far-reaching views across open countryside. This peaceful, rural setting offers the best of both worlds: scenic seclusion with the convenience of a short walk to the local school, shops, pubs, and regular bus links to Oswestry, Wrexham, and Shrewsbury.

Internally, the home offers approximately 1,155 sq ft of well-balanced living space, including two reception rooms, a bright conservatory, a family kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, and ground floor cloakroom. The layout provides excellent flow and functionality, and there is clear scope to extend or reconfigure to create a four-bedroom layout, subject to permissions.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a principal suite, with shower room, a second double bedroom, and a versatile third bedroom currently used as an office with a pull-down bed – ideal for guests or remote working. A modern family bathroom completes the accommodation.

The setting is truly exceptional. The gardens have been lovingly maintained and awarded for their design, creating a private, outdoor oasis with year-round interest. The surrounding views are uninterrupted, with no immediate neighbours overlooking the plot. A single garage and driveway provide ample off-street parking.

Further benefits include oil-fired central heating, double glazing, cavity wall and attic insulation, and full broadband availability. The property will be sold with an up-to-date Energy Performance Certificate (in progress).

This is a home that will appeal to buyers seeking space, tranquillity, and lifestyle – a property that’s ready to enjoy, but with the flexibility to evolve with you.
