Wem, Shrewsbury, SY4

This is an escape to the country with all the advantages this lifestyle brings, whilst also offering a surprisingly strong range of benefits not commonly associated with such a genre of property.

The privacy is amazing with a south facing plot of 1.2 acre, yet there are excellent amenities just two miles away in Wem. Others might worry about eco credentials but this is the opposite – there are extensive PV roof solar panels, a 2021 installed air source heat pump, enhanced loft and floor insulation, and a superbly maintained private drainage system. The highly impressive 83 out of 100 energy rating is richly deserved.

So it really is a property of pleasant surprises and when you go through the gated entrance and sweep up the house, this inspirational arrival experience will mean that mentally, you will want to buy it straight away! And if you like me love ride on mowers, there will be few better houses available to fulfil that criteria!

The Hayley's is a modern property, built in 1995 in the grounds of what was previously Edstaston House, by a builder who lived there for about 16 years, and also built the other two houses on the private drive. The current owner has lived in this lovely home for 14 years and have hugely enjoyed every aspect of the property, both inside and out. The house extends to 2743 square feet, the garage 539 square feet and the plot 1.2 acre.

The accommodation is laid out over two floors with a spacious entrance hall, providing access to the reception rooms and inner hallway. The hall has an outstanding bespoke staircase as its focal point. Double doors open into the drawing room, offering wonderful views over the back garden, and includes a feature alcove with a glass cabinet and shelving, a fire surround with a stone hearth and an electric wood burner. French doors open into the conservatory, which has a door leading out onto the gardens and patio, and overlooks the pool with a feature fountain.

The formal dining room may be accessed off the main hall or from the kitchen and has a bay window looking out over the front gardens. It offers a great space for entertaining and with it’s position adjacent to the kitchen it can effectively be used an an open plan hub day to day. The kitchen is fitted wall and base units, porcelain floor tiles, granite worktops with upstands, integrated dishwasher, corner carousel cupboards, an induction hob, NEFF fitted microwave, two ovens and a coffee machine. The kitchen opens into the notably spacious utility room, with fitted units, a sink and space for white goods. Separate doors provide access into the garaging, out onto the back garden and also into the office / study, which has a separate door to the front of the house.

Off the main hallway is an inner hall with a feature alcove and a bay window, offering in plenty of natural light. There is a cloakroom with WC, and the principal suite which has fitted wardrobes and dressing table and a large en suite bathroom with a Jacuzzi bath, separate shower and a vanity sink.

The stairs rise to the first floor and a spacious galleried landing, off which is a family bathroom with a separate bath and shower. There are two double bedrooms both with large walk in wardrobes and further storage, and a further bedroom. The two main bedrooms on this floor, have wonderful far reaching views across open countryside.

Externally, The Hayleys is part of a private development of three houses, which all share the main access but each have private, gated driveways to each house. The Hayleys has a turning circle drive with a central fountain. The lawned gardens wrap around the house, with planted beds and borders, hedged boundaries with some mature trees, and a gated fenced area which is dog proof, for growing vegetables. There is a separate greenhouse in this area and a summerhouse. The back of the house is south facing and the patio provides a seating area to enjoy the sun throughout the day.

The triple garaging provides enough space for two large vehicles, garden equipment and a spacious workshop area. There is electricity and a gardeners WC, with a separate door to the garden.
