Description - Cantlop Grange is an exceptional Grade II Listed family home, situated within one of Shropshire's most picturesque rural hamlets and enjoying breathtaking countryside views in every direction. Rich in period charm, the property retains a wealth of original character including exposed ceiling timbers, traditional joinery and generous room proportions, whilst offering versatile accommodation perfectly suited to modern family living.

The welcoming reception hall provides access to two elegant reception rooms. The sitting room is particularly impressive, centred around an attractive fireplace with a Clearview wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting space for everyday living. Opposite, the formal dining room offers an excellent setting for entertaining and family occasions.

Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units, integrated appliances and ample space for informal dining. French doors open directly onto the rear terrace, allowing the living space to flow seamlessly into the gardens and making it ideal for entertaining throughout the year.

Located off the kitchen is a practical utility room with a separate shower room and WC beyond, providing excellent ancillary accommodation. A fully tanked cellar offers valuable additional space and is currently utilised as a gym, although it has previously served as a children's playroom and would equally suit a hobbies room or home office.

The first floor provides two generous double bedrooms together with a fifth bedroom or study, ideal for those working from home. These rooms are served by a well-appointed family shower room. The second floor offers two further spacious double bedrooms arranged around a generous landing, currently used as a hobbies/additional study area. Plumbing remains in situ to reinstate an additional bathroom if required, providing exciting scope for future enhancement.

Outside - The gardens are a particular feature of Cantlop Grange, enjoying an exceptional degree of privacy whilst taking full advantage of the spectacular surrounding countryside. Thoughtfully landscaped, they provide a series of delightful outdoor spaces ideal for both relaxation and entertaining.

Immediately adjoining the house is a wonderful covered seating terrace, creating the perfect setting for al fresco dining whilst enjoying the far-reaching rural views throughout the seasons. Beyond lies a raised walled garden, predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by mature planting, a further paved terrace, garden shed and useful stone outbuilding.

A detached garage provides secure parking and additional storage, completing what is a truly exceptional period home in one of south Shropshire's most desirable rural locations.
