Situation - The nearby market town of Market Drayton provides a comprehensive range of day-to-day amenities, while the area is renowned for its excellent schooling, including Adams’ Grammar School, Newport Girls’ High School, Wrekin College and Shrewsbury School. Communications are particularly convenient, with access to the M6 motorway network and rail services from Crewe and Stafford providing direct links to London, Manchester and Birmingham.

Description - Set within the glorious undulating countryside of rural Shropshire, this appealing country residence occupies a wonderfully private position amidst its own gardens, paddocks and equestrian facilities extending to just over 6 acres. Offering an enviable lifestyle opportunity, the property combines the charm of a traditional family home with excellent potential for further enhancement, all surrounded by far-reaching views across open farmland.

The house provides versatile and well-balanced accommodation extending to approximately 2,500 sq ft, with a layout ideally suited to modern family living and the flexibility for multi-generational occupation. Of particular note is the potential for the ground floor accommodation, together with the adjoining boot room and boiler room, to create a self-contained annexe or home office suite, subject to the necessary consents.

The principal reception hall leads through to a charming sitting room with exposed ceiling beams, open fireplace and adjoining kitchen area, while the generous dual-aspect living room features a striking stone fireplace with inset log-burning stove.

The farmhouse-style breakfast kitchen is fitted with a range of units and centred around a traditional solid fuel Rayburn, creating a welcoming heart to the home. Two conservatories provide delightful garden-facing reception spaces and enjoy views across the surrounding grounds.

To the first floor, a particularly spacious landing gives access to the principal bedroom suite with en suite bathroom, together with two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property has been carefully maintained over the years and offers purchasers the opportunity to modernise and tailor the interiors to their own tastes.

Outside - The grounds are a defining feature of the property. Landscaped gardens wrap around the house and include sweeping lawns, mature trees, established shrubbery and an orchard with soft fruit trees. A brook meanders along the rear boundary, crossed by a charming bridge, while expansive rural views create an exceptional sense of peace and seclusion.

The equestrian facilities are particularly impressive and well suited to private use. The land is divided into paddocks with field shelters and is complemented by a substantial block-built stable yard comprising two loose boxes beneath a covered concrete apron. In addition, there is a detached garage, log and hay stores, and a substantial steel-framed outbuilding/workshop with excellent ceiling height, ideal for a variety of agricultural, storage or hobby uses.

The property is approached via two separate driveways providing ample parking and ease of access for vehicles, trailers and equestrian transport.
