Station Street, Bishops Castle, SY9

Introducing Yarrow End House, which is a detached and individually designed period house located within a peaceful and private position just off Station Street, found approximately 350 yards from the vibrant centre of the sought-after market town of Bishop’s Castle and enjoying distant views from the upper floors towards the surrounding South Shropshire countryside.

Built circa 1940, this attractive and characterful property offers spacious and versatile accommodation arranged across three storeys and retains a wealth of original period features throughout, including stained glass windows, exposed wood flooring, feature fireplaces, picture rails, panelled internal doors and bay-fronted reception rooms and bedrooms, all of which combine to create a home of considerable charm and individuality.

Beautifully presented and well maintained by the current owners, Yarrow End House benefits from four double bedrooms, three reception rooms, two bathrooms, a useful utility room which could also be utilised for a variety of purposes including a study or ground floor bedroom, a detached garage, ample driveway parking and large, mature gardens complete with an impressive summerhouse/bar. Bishop’s Castle is one of Shropshire’s most desirable market towns and is renowned for its independent shops, public houses, cafés, eateries and strong sense of community, whilst also providing excellent access onto scenic walking routes and outdoor pursuits within the nearby Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Rural, but by no means isolated, the town remains exceptionally well served for everyday needs, with schooling, leisure facilities and healthcare all found within easy reach of the property. Inside, the accommodation spans across three floors and is entered via an inviting reception hall, where stained glass detailing and exposed flooring immediately set the tone for the rest of the house. Positioned to the front elevation is the spacious bay-fronted living room, which enjoys a pleasant outlook over the gardens and features a fireplace with inset wood-burning stove creating a warm focal point to the room. To the rear, a separate dining room provides an excellent space for formal dining and entertaining and also benefits from a large bay window and attractive character features. Also found to the rear, the kitchen/diner forms the heart of the home and is fitted with a range of matching units, ample work surface space and a central island, whilst large windows and glazed doors allow for an abundance of natural light, with the doors providing direct access to the rear gardens.

Leading off the kitchen is a useful side entrance/conservatory area, ideal as a boot room or garden room, along with the versatile utility room, which could also be utilised as a study, hobby room or even a ground floor bedroom if required, with its own private en-suite shower room. From the entrance hall a door opens to a useful understairs W.C. On the first floor, a landing area gives way to three well-proportioned double bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedrooms one and two are particularly generous in size and enjoy attractive bay windows and elevated outlooks across the surrounding area, whilst the bathroom is fitted with a bath with shower over, W.C and wash hand basin. From the landing, stairs rise to the second floor where a further sizeable double bedroom/loft room is found, enjoying a tucked-away position and distant views towards the surrounding countryside, making it ideal for a variety of uses including guest accommodation or home working.

Outside, Yarrow End House is approached via gated access onto a sweeping driveway, which provides ample off-road parking for numerous vehicles and access to the detached garage. The property enjoys an attractive frontage with mature hedging and planted borders helping to create a pleasant degree of privacy from the roadside. The rear gardens are a particular feature of the property and are generous in size, beautifully established and wonderfully private. Made up of large lawned sections, mature trees, colourful planted borders, paved seating areas and well-stocked beds, the gardens provide an ideal setting to relax or entertain within the warmer months of the year. A substantial summerhouse positioned towards the rear of the plot offers a versatile additional space and is currently arranged as a garden bar and entertaining area, whilst pathways and seating areas throughout the grounds allow the gardens to be enjoyed from all angles.

Overall, the outside space complements the house perfectly and creates a peaceful setting within close proximity of the town centre.
