A well proportioned three-bedroom semi-detached family home benefitting from generous gardens, useful outbuildings, and picturesque views across open countryside, alongside excellent potential for selective modernisation, peacefully situated in a rural hamlet convenient for Ellesmere and Oswestry.

Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer 8 Sycamore View in Lower Hordley for sale by private treaty.

8 Sycamore View is a mature three-bedroom semi-detached family home which has recently been subject to a number of efficiency improvements, including the installation of solar panels and an Air Source heat pump, to now boast over 1,000 sq ft of well proportioned and comfortably arrange rooms ideal for family living. The property offers excellent potential for further decorative improvements.

The property lies within generous gardens which extend, in all, to around 0.13ac and offer picturesque views across the much celebrated north Shropshire landscape. To the fore is ample parking for multiple vehicles, with the rear gardens containing a useful range of outbuildings and tapering to a point with an open aspect across fields.

Situation - The Old School Cottage is situated within the rural hamlet of Lower Hordley which nestles within the rolling fields of the noted north Shropshire landscape and, as such, enjoys access to a network of quiet country lanes, footpaths, and bridleway, making it particularly appealing to those with rambling, cycling, or equestrian interests. Whilst enjoying all that's best about the great British countryside, the property retains a convenient proximity to the nearby towns of of Ellesmere and Oswestry, both of which provide an array of amenities, including Schools, Supermarkets, Medical Facilities, Restaurants, and Public Houses; with the county centre of Shrewsbury located around 15 miles to the south and offers a more comprehensive range of facilities, including cultural and artistic attractions.

Schooling - Within a comfortable proximity are a number of well-regarded state and private schools including Ellesmere Primary School, Ellesmere College, Lakelands Academy, The Maelor School, The Madras School, Shrewsbury School, Shrewsbury High School, The Priory, Prestfelde Prep., Packwood Haugh, Adcote School for Girls, and Morton Hall.

The Property - The property is principally accessed via a covered external Porch which opens into an Entrance Hall, from where stairs rise to the first floor and a door leads immediately to the left into a welcoming Living Room, this featuring a bay-window onto the front elevation and ample space for seating arranged around a central exposed-brick chimney breast (recently housing a multi-fuel burner). A doorway leads through from the Living Room to a further and particularly versatile Reception Room, initially intended as a Dining Room but with scope for a variety of onward usages, be that as a Family Room, Study, or, potentially, guest Bedroom.

The Entrance Hall culminates at a door which opens into a Kitchen featuring a selection of base and wall units, alongside a window overlooking the Garden. An external door leads through to a Boot Room which leads further on to a Cloakroom and Store, these positioned immediately alongside an externally accessed Store Room which offers scope for conversion into further living accommodation (PP permitting).

Stairs rise to a first floor landing, where doors allow access into three comfortably sized Bedrooms, all enjoying elevated views across the gently unfolding landscape within which the hamlet nestles. The Bedrooms are served by a Family Bathroom which comprises a panelled bath, low flush WC, and hand basin, all set against partly tiled walls.

Outside - The property is accessed onto a large front garden with ample off-street parking for a number of vehicles, this flanked to one side by an expanse of lawn retained within mature hedging; the parking leads on to a single garage (approx. 5.5m x 2.5m).

The rear gardens are a notable feature of the property and enjoy an open aspect towards unspoilt farmland, whilst at present providing further areas of lawn and housing a predominately timber outbuilding which has previously served as a Summerhouse.
