A contemporary country home with breathtaking views and exceptional living spaces.

Description

Crofters Lodge is a beautifully designed modern home offering a perfect blend of contemporary living and countryside charm. Built in 2006 with exceptional craftsmanship, the property is positioned in the sought-after village of Eaton Constantine and enjoys panoramic views over open fields towards the Shropshire Hills and Wenlock Edge, while the front aspect overlooks the picturesque village church. The house is flooded with natural light thanks to its south-facing rear elevation and features a spacious, welcoming entrance hall leading to an exceptional ground floor layout. The open-plan design creates a seamless flow between living spaces, ideal for both family life and entertaining.

The ground floor accommodation is thoughtfully arranged to provide a wonderful lifestyle. The elegant drawing room features a stylish cassette gas fire with a beautiful stone hearth and French doors opening onto the patio and gardens, creating a perfect space for relaxation and entertaining.

Double doors lead into the dining room, a superb space for hosting guests, while a separate snug offers a cozy retreat with an electric fire. The kitchen is a true highlight of the home, fitted with an extensive range of gloss-finish wall and base units complemented by granite worktops. Integrated BOSCH appliances include a dishwasher and fridge, alongside a SMEG electric range oven with induction hob and an integrated microwave. A central island houses an integrated double larder freezer, and the kitchen enjoys a wonderful outlook over the garden and far-reaching views beyond. Double oak doors connect the kitchen to the drawing room, enhancing the flow of the living space. All internal doors throughout the property are high quality stained American white oak, adding to the sense of quality and style.

The first floor is equally impressive, with a beautiful gallery landing and four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is light and spacious, featuring French doors that open onto a private balcony to take in the stunning views. It also benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious en suite bathroom with a shower over bath and vanity sink unit. The guest bedroom offers a built-in double wardrobe and an en suite shower room, while the remaining two bedrooms are generous doubles, one currently used as an office.

A stylish family bathroom with a walk-in shower and vanity unit serves these rooms, and there is a separate airing cupboard. The loft space is fully boarded with electricity and offers approximately 36ft x 9ft (324 sq.ft) of additional storage or potential use.

Outside

Crofters Lodge is approached through electric gates onto a block-paved driveway, with a double garage to the side and with parking for several vehicles to the front and side of the garage' The garage features a double-size electric up and over door, plus an additional side door and a staircase leading to a spacious room above, which could serve as an office, games room, or, subject to planning permission, a separate annexe. The exterior of the garage is adorned with beautiful wisteria, adding charm to the setting.

The front of the house has a lawn area and steps leading to the front door, while each side of the property is gated, offering security for animals or young children. The rear garden is a private and tranquil space, designed for outdoor living with a patio for alfresco dining and a stone path leading to a decking area that captures the evening sun. The south-facing aspect ensures sunlight throughout the day, and the garden is framed by hedges and herbaceous borders, creating a serene and picturesque environment.

Crofters Lodge combines modern design with rural beauty, offering an exceptional home in a peaceful village setting while remaining within easy reach of Shrewsbury and Telford, both of which provide excellent schools, amenities, and transport links.

Location

Eaton Constantine enjoys an elevated and peaceful setting just off the B4380, placing Crofters Lodge within easy reach of both Shrewsbury and Telford. Shrewsbury lies around ten miles to the west, a historic county town celebrated for its independent shops, riverside dining and mainline rail connections, while Telford is approximately ten miles to the east, offering comprehensive retail, leisure and business amenities alongside swift access to the A5 and M54, linking seamlessly to the wider Midlands and national motorway network. Daily life is enhanced by practical local transport, including bus services into Shrewsbury, and convenient road routes that make commuting and school runs straightforward.

The area is exceptionally well served for education across both independent and state sectors. Within Shrewsbury, distinguished choices include Shrewsbury School and Shrewsbury High School (SHS, GDST), the latter an all-through girls’ day school in the town centre; further acclaimed independent provision is offered by Concord College at Acton Burnell and Wrekin College in Wellington, with its associated preparatory school now known as Wrekin Prep. For selective state schooling, Haberdashers’ Adams in Newport (co educational grammar, with state boarding for boys) and Newport Girls’ High School are both highly regarded, while Thomas Telford School in Telford is consistently strong and well connected for families commuting across the Midlands.

The surrounding countryside offers an exceptional lifestyle for those who enjoy the outdoors. Eaton Constantine is perfectly placed for walking and cycling, with a network of quiet lanes and scenic footpaths leading through rolling farmland and towards the Shropshire Hills and Wenlock Edge, both designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Popular routes include gentle village walks as well as more challenging trails for keen hikers and cyclists, all framed by breathtaking rural vistas.

The area is rich in wildlife and heritage, with historic churches, charming hamlets and traditional country pubs dotted along the way. For equestrian enthusiasts, there are bridleways and local stabling options, while leisure pursuits such as golf, fishing and country sports are all within reach. This idyllic setting combines the tranquillity of rural living with the convenience of excellent transport links and proximity to vibrant market towns, making it ideal for those seeking a balanced and active lifestyle.
