Description - Rad Cottage is an attractive and substantial period family home, beautifully presented throughout and offering exceptionally well-proportioned accommodation, set within expansive south-facing gardens extending to over half an acre. The property occupies a prime position on one of the most sought-after residential roads in Shrewsbury, offering space and modern family living in an outstanding setting. To the front, the property benefits from a private driveway providing ample parking for 6 or more cars, together with a large frontage and a tandem garage allowing access from both ends.

The house has been thoughtfully extended and enhanced, most notably by a superb rear addition that seamlessly connects the kitchen with the principal living spaces, all overlooking the gardens. This impressive extension forms the true heart of the home, creating a wonderfully light and open-plan environment ideally suited to both everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen/breakfast room is finished in a modern, contemporary style, featuring a comprehensive range of fitted wall and base units, integrated appliances, a pantry and a central island, providing both practicality and visual appeal. From here, the space flows into the extended dining and family area, creating a cohesive and sociable living space with direct access to the gardens.

A centrally positioned snug, complete with a clear view stove, provides a cosy yet connected space, linking the extension to the main body of the house. The principal sitting room is positioned to the front and is elegantly appointed, featuring a contemporary gas fire. The ground floor as a whole offers a superb sense of flow, with the reception hall, snug, sitting room, family/dining room and kitchen all combining to create a versatile and highly functional layout.

To the first floor there are five well-proportioned double bedrooms, served by two bathrooms. In addition, there is a substantial attic space which offers excellent potential for further accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.

Outside - The property is set within beautifully landscaped, south-facing tiered gardens that gently descend towards the brook, creating a series of distinct and highly usable outdoor spaces. A generous patio adjoins the house, providing an ideal setting for al fresco dining and entertaining, and is complemented by a workshop, bar and greenhouse, the latter home to a mature lemon tree.

The lower tiers of the garden continue to impress, with a garden room and a Scandinavian-style BBQ hut positioned alongside a children’s play area, while further down there is a fruit cage/chicken run. A large lawned area at the foot of the garden leads to the brook, offering a delightful and natural space for recreation.
