Situation - The Pools Farm occupies a semi-rural position on the western side of the popular north Shropshire market town of Wem, accessed via a private driveway from the B5063 Ellesmere Road. The setting offers a pleasing balance of countryside surroundings, privacy and convenience, with the amenities and facilities of Wem situated only a short distance away.

Wem provides a range of everyday amenities, shops, schools and leisure facilities, together with a railway station approximately one mile from the property. The A49 is just over three miles away, providing connections towards Shrewsbury and the wider regional road network. The county town of Shrewsbury lies approximately 11 miles to the south, whilst Whitchurch is around 9 miles to the north, making the property well placed for access to north Shropshire, Cheshire and the West Midlands.

Description - The Pools Farm represents an exciting opportunity to acquire a detached four-bedroom farmhouse set in approximately just over 1 acre, enjoying an appealing semi-rural position with wonderful countryside views. Requiring a full renovation throughout, the property offers considerable scope for purchasers to update, remodel and potentially extend the existing accommodation, subject to the necessary consents, creating a superb family home tailored to their own requirements.

Approached via a long, sweeping private driveway, the farmhouse occupies a peaceful position whilst remaining conveniently placed for the amenities and transport connections of the nearby market town of Wem. The property is of brick construction beneath a slate roof, with a combination of original timber-framed, single-glazed windows and replacement uPVC double-glazed windows.

The accommodation is arranged around four bedrooms, offering an excellent foundation for a comprehensive renovation project. Externally, the property is complemented by lawned gardens to the front, rear and side, interspersed with mature shrubs and trees, together with a substantial concrete parking area to the rear.

With its generous plot, rural outlook and scope to improve and enhance, The Pools Farm offers an increasingly appealing proposition for those seeking a property with character, land and the opportunity to create something truly special.

The most recent extension is the area where there are some structural problems that need addressing.

The barns are being retained and will be developed into residential units.
