Brown Heath, Ellesmere.

A charming and deceptively spacious detached country residence, nestled amidst mature gardens

Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer this property in Brown Heath, Ellesmere.

The property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached home offering flexible accommodation. Period charm is retained throughout, from decorative fireplaces and traditional joinery to the use of natural light and sympathetic décor. Spacious reception areas, an updated kitchen, and multiple bedrooms provide both comfort and practicality, complemented by far-reaching views from nearly every window.

A notable feature is the seamless indoor-outdoor connection through French windows, enhancing the sense of space and inviting the outside in. Whether entertaining in the elegant dining area or relaxing in the garden room, this home has been designed with both functionality and serenity in mind.





Situation - Located in scenic North Shropshire, the property occupies a peaceful countryside setting in a cluster of individual properties. Nestled between other detached homes like Cross Keys Farm and Cork Hall, the neighbourhood enjoys a rural feel yet remains well-connected. The historic market towns of Wem and Ellesmere are both nearby, offering a range of amenities, schools, and scenic attractions including the Llangollen Canal and The Mere— one of the region’s beautiful glacial lakes, ideal for local walks and wildlife.

Directions - The property is tucked away in the hamlet of Brown Heath, just off rural lanes to the southwest of Ellesmere (post town), approximately 4 miles from the town centre. You’ll find access via the A528 (Shrewsbury–Ellesmere road) and local countrylanes. The nearest railway station is at Wem, with regular bus services from Ellesmere to Oswestry, Welshampton, and Shrewsbury.

The Property - This charming four-bedroom detached family home offers a warm and welcoming layout, thoughtfully arranged across two floors with characterful features throughout. Upon entering, the entrance hall sets the tone with its light-filled space, leading to a series of versatile reception rooms. These include a formal lounge with a traditional fireplace, an elegant dining room and a cosy garden room, where French doors provide direct access to the rear garden.
The ground floor also accommodates a guest cloakroom/WC and a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, which forms the heart of the home. Fitted with ample storage and work surfaces, the kitchen also enjoys direct access to the rear terrace, making it ideal for entertaining and family life. A rear door leads into a useful boot room, which connects to a utility area and an additional cloakroom/WC.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom offers generous proportions and pleasant views of the surrounding countryside, while two further double bedrooms and a single room—currently used as a nursery—provide ample space for family or guests. The family bathroom is well-appointed, with a panelled bath, separate shower enclosure, WC, and basin.

In addition, there is a converted space above the detached double garage, accessed via an external staircase. This annexe-style room features a vaulted ceiling with skylights and a kitchenette area.

Annexe/Additional Living - Accessed via an external staircase, this converted loft area benefits from a vaulted ceiling with multiple skylights, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The space is currently arranged to include a generous open-plan lounge or studio room, complete with a kitchenette area featuring storage cupboards, a sink, and space for appliances.

This versatile annexe is ideally suited for multigenerational living, offering privacy and independence for an elderly relative or young adult. It also functions well as a comfortable guest suite or a dedicated home office or studio. Subject to any necessary consents, it could also present a potential income opportunity through short-term or long-term rental, given its completely separate access and self-contained layout.
