Description

An attractive four-bedroom detached agriculturally tied family home boasting over 2,100 sq ft of generously proportioned living accommodation, along well maintained gardens and land which extend to circa 2.85ac and feature a detached double garage and three substantial chicken sheds which produce an established income; peacefully situated within the rural village of Whixall.

Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer Oakwell House in Whixall for sale by private treaty.

Oakwell House is an agriculturally-tied four-bedroom detached family home providing over 2,100 sq ft of well presented and generously proportioned living accommodation.

The property is complemented by land and gardens which extend, in all, to around 2.85ac, these including ample parking, a detached double garage, and attractively maintained gardens. Notably, the property is further accompanied by three chicken sheds which are presently producing a significant income; thus offering scope for a continuation of the business or, potentially, for conversion (STPP).

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.

The Property - The ground floor plays host to a range of versatile Reception Rooms presently utilised as a Sitting Room with bay-window onto the front, Dining Room, and Study/Boot Room, these centred around a spacious and well appointed Kitchen/Dining Room with patio doors which lead out to a spacious Garden Room with views across the gardens. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a useful Utility Room accessed via the Kitchen and a Cloakroom inset within the Entrance Hall.

Stairs rise from the Entrance Hall to a first floor landing with recessed storage cupboard, from where access is provided into four well-proportioned Bedrooms ideally suited to the needs of contemporary family living.

Bedrooms One and Two boast integrated storage whilst Bedroom One further benefits from an adjoining En-Suite, with the remaining Bedrooms served by a Family Bathroom.

Gardens - The property is accessed via a gated entrance which leads on to a sweeping driveway culminating at parking situated before a detached double garage. The gardens have been attractively landscaped to now feature expanses of lawn interspersed with mature trees and established planting, alongside patio and seating areas.

Shed Two: approx. 10,000 sq ft

Shed Three: Approx. 4,500 sq ft
