Woolstaston, Church Stretton, Shropshire

Foxglove House is an attractive stone-built detached family home offering 1,800 sq ft of flexible accommodation arranged over two floors. Configured to provide a practical and cohesive living and entertaining environment maximising the stunning surrounding views provided by its elevated position, the property sensitively combines modern amenities with period features including casement glazing, some exposed beams, original fireplaces, and a wealth of quarry-tiled flooring across the ground floor.

The accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall with a feature exposed stone wall, a useful cloakroom and stairs rising to the first floor. The hallway opens into a large open plan living and dining room with a feature fireplace with woodburning stove and a door to the garden. The dining room in turn opens to a split-level snug which has a door to a through side entrance porch with doors to both front and rear aspects. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a dual aspect kitchen accessed from the reception hall. It has a high vaulted ceiling with Velux glazing, a brick-built fire surround with woodburning stove, a range of freestanding wall and base units including a central island with breakfast bar, complementary work surfaces, a double Belfast sink and modern integrated appliances.

On the first floor the property provides a dual aspect principal bedroom, one further well proportioned bedroom and a family bathroom with freestanding slipper bath.

The property also benefits from an attached stone built store/barn. Extending to almost 25 ft, and with steps rising to a hayloft over, this offers the potential for further development, either as part of the main property or for self-contained annexe accommodation, if required (STP).

Foxglove Cottage is approached through double five bar gates over a side driveway providing private parking. The well-maintained wraparound garden is laid mainly to gently-sloping lawn interspersed with and bordered by mature trees. It features numerous seating areas, a garden pond, a stable and a generous gravelled terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining and enjoying stunning views over the Stretton Hills. A gate adjacent to the stable opens to the property’s remaining land which provides a stock-fenced paddock and an adjacent fenced area with a shepherds hut*.
