Description
Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer Fairacres in Whixall for sale by private treaty.
Fairacres is a substantial five-bedroom detached country home which now offers excellent potential for comprehensive modernisation and improvement throughout, whilst at present boasting over 2,500 sq ft of generously proportioned living accommodation situated across two flexibly arranged floors.
The property is situated within land and gardens which extend, in all, to around 4 acres, with access provided via an impressive "in and out" driveway onto attractive gardens which encompass the property and feature a double garage and stabling, with a smaller paddock positioned to the north east and grazing land surrounding the property to the south and east.
Situation - The property occupies a delightfully peaceful position within the rural village of Whixall, which offers immediate access to a network of quiet county lanes, public footpaths, and bridleways, as well Whixall Moss and the surrounding canal network, making it ideal for those with rambling, cycling, or equestrian interests. Despite its rural setting, the property retains a convenient proximity to the lakeland town of Ellesmere and the market town of Wem, which provide a respectable range of day to day amenities, with the larger town of Whitchurch located around 7 miles to the north. The county centres of Wrexham and Shrewsbury lie to the north and south respectively and offer a comprehensive suite of facilities to include transport links and cultural attractions.
Schooling - The property is conveniently situated for access to a number of well regarded state and private schools, including Whixall C of E Primary, Newtown C of E Primary (outstanding), Welshampton C of E Primary, The Thomas Adams School, Lakelands Academy, Ellesmere College, Moreton Hall, Oswestry School, Packwood Haugh, and Adcote School for Girls.
Directions - Leave Ellesmere via the A495, continuing past The Mere and turning left to remain on this road. Proceed for around a mile when, in the village of Welshampton, a right hand turn leads onto the B5063 (signposted Wem); continuing for a further 1.2 miles on this road until, in the centre of Northwood, a left hand turn leads onto a quiet county lane. Proceed along this lane for around 2.3 miles where the property will be situated on the left and identified by a Halls "For Sale" board.

Flanking the driveway are further areas lawn interspersed with mature trees and floral beds, with, to either side of the property, paved patio areas which represent an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining. The eastern aspect of the gardens features a detached Stable Block ideal for those with equestrian interests, with a lean-to greenhouse to one side.
