Situation - The Drifthouse enjoys an appealing rural position at The Fords, on the edge of Queens Head to the east of Oswestry.

Queens Head itself lies alongside the Montgomery Canal and has a well-regarded public house and restaurant, whilst the nearby village of West Felton provides further everyday amenities

Oswestry provides a comprehensive range of shops, supermarkets, leisure and recreational facilities, together with restaurants, cafés and professional services. The position is well suited to those requiring access towards Shrewsbury, Chester, North Wales and the Midlands via the A5 and connecting road network

Continue on this road for 0.4 miles and turn left onto Twyford Lane where, shortly after, the property will be positioned on the left.

The Property - The Drifthouse offers spacious and characterful accommodation arranged around a striking central entrance hall, where exposed sandstone, oak joinery and full-height glazing immediately reflect the quality and character of the conversion.

The principal reception room is generously proportioned and features exposed timbers and a substantial brick fireplace with wood-burning stove, while the large kitchen and dining room forms an excellent everyday living and entertaining space with oak-fronted cabinetry, central island, range-style cooker and French doors opening directly onto the gardens.

A useful utility room, cloakroom and ground-floor bedroom add welcome flexibility to the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs are three further bedrooms, including a particularly spacious principal bedroom with dressing room and shower-room facilities, together with a well-appointed family bathroom.
