Forton Road, Newport, Shropshire TF10

Having been extensively refurbished over the past 3 years, Lawson House is a most attractive contemporary house located on Newport’s premier road, just a short walk to the bustling high street. The house itself sits on a gated plot of approx. 0.25 acres and has open views across the surrounding Rugby Club. Extensive recent works include new windows and doors, new pressurised hot water system, air source heat pump, rendering with additional insulation, remodelled ground floor and relandscaped garden / driveway. Whilst extensive work has been completed, there is scope for further improvement and modernisation, predominantly to the first floor.

Entered via a covered stone porch, a wide front door opens to a large entrance hall, with doors radiating to the ground floor accommodation including the guest WC. The sitting room is a bright, well proportioned space that includes plenty of space for seating as well as a fireplace with wood burner inset. The study is found on the opposite side of the hallway and provides an excellent dual aspect home working space, or perhaps a playroom, as required by an incoming buyer. Set along the full width of the rear of the house and extending to over 40 feet long is the open plan kitchen dining family area which is an outstanding contemporary space complete with underfloor heating. The kitchen area is set at one end and includes a range of two tone shaker wall, floor and island units all set beneath a quartz work surface. There are a range of integrated appliances including AEG induction hob, pair of AEG ovens, AEG freezer, Neff dishwasher as well as full height fridge, integrated microwave, wine fridge and 3 in 1 Quooker tap. The island provides informal seating while the dining area leads off the kitchen area to provide a more formal entertaining space, complete with wide bi folding doors to the garden. The family area completes this superb space and offers informal seating as well as another set of bi folding doors to the garden. Off the kitchen is a boot room and utility room, while there is also a cellar which provides excellent storage.

A turned staircase rises past a floor to ceiling window to the first floor landing. The principal bedroom is vast and includes a range of fitted wardrobes. There is an en suite shower room and the whole space enjoys excellent open views to the rear. There are an additional three double bedrooms (two with fitted wardrobes) while there is a family bathroom with separate shower.
