Cheshire Street, Market Drayton

PROPERTY OVERVIEW Sych House is a fascinating and highly individual home with a history that spans several centuries. Occupying the site of an earlier Tudor dwelling, the house was rebuilt in the 1820s in the Regency style, with further additions made during the 20th century.

Set within beautifully established gardens and just a stone's throw from Market Drayton town centre, Sych House is a substantial five-bedroom semi-detached home, offering an appealing combination of space, character and individuality, with shops and everyday amenities right on the doorstep. The house is arranged over three floors and displays a wealth of traditional features, including exposed timbers, impressive fireplaces and distinctive tiled floors.

The ground floor begins with an entrance hall, with a WC at the far end and access to the cellar. The lounge is an excellent size and features a stove set within a striking fireplace, while the dining room has an impressive inglenook-style fireplace and plenty of space for a large table. Completing the main accommodation on this level is the generously proportioned kitchen, featuring painted cabinetry, a Belfast-style sink, range-style cooker and room for informal dining.

On the first floor are three bedrooms and the shower room. Bedroom one is a particularly generous double with a useful built in wardrobe and cupboard, while bedroom two opens into an intriguing inner corridor, understood to form part of one of the oldest sections of the property. Rich in exposed dark timbers and traditional detailing, this passageway leads through to bedroom three and the shower room, adding another layer of personality to the home's fascinating layout.

A further staircase rises to the second floor, where the landing features a wonderfully distinctive circular window. Two additional bedrooms sit within the roof line, both with sloping ceilings and roof windows. From bedroom five there is access to a large attic room, providing valuable additional storage and housing the gas boiler.

Outside, the established gardens form a particularly appealing feature of the property, providing a wonderfully secluded leafy setting, yet with all the convenience of a town-centre location. The house is approached through a mature front garden, where a pathway winds between an abundance of established shrubs, evergreens and ornamental planting to the entrance.

The garden continues around the property, with mature trees, well-stocked borders and substantial hedging creating a good degree of screening and privacy. Paved areas provide places for outdoor seating, while the variety of planting gives the garden plenty of interest and a charming, established feel. To the side of the house is a brick-built outbuilding, currently divided into a fitted utility room and separate storage room.

With five bedrooms, three floors of accommodation, a cellar, substantial attic room, useful outbuilding and mature gardens, this is a home quite unlike the standard semi-detached property. Its wealth of individual features and generous proportions are made all the more appealing by being conveniently close to Market Drayton town centre and its many amenities. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the space, character and fascinating layout this distinctive home has to offer.
