Summary - THE ORCHARD HOUSE CHAVEL SHREWSBURY SY5 9LB
5 bed 5 bath Detached
Spacious home on half-acre plot with countryside views and expansion potential.
Detached five-bedroom family house with period features and modern updates
Set in a semi-rural hamlet on a very large plot of about half an acre, this five-bedroom detached family home combines generous period proportions with flexible modern living. The ground floor centres on a spectacular dual-aspect sitting/dining room with a brick fireplace and wood-burning stove, French doors to the patio and a central bar area that creates an excellent entertaining flow. The kitchen and adjoining utility serve day-to-day family life, with a covered BBQ area and summerhouse in the garden for outdoor use.
Upstairs offers five bedrooms, three recently updated en suites and a family bathroom, giving excellent accommodation for a growing family or regular guests. There is planning permission in place for a further extension and garaging, so the property has clear scope to add value and reconfigure space to suit changing needs. The extensive tarmacadam driveway provides off-street parking for multiple vehicles and private access to the rear gardens.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, council tax band is above average, and broadband speeds are very slow in this location. Services are understood to be connected but have not been tested. The house is freehold and occupies a tranquil, rural-fringe setting with excellent mobile signal and countryside views — ideal for families who prioritise space and privacy but need to factor in running costs and connectivity.
This is a roomy, well-presented family home with strong potential for further improvement. Buyers should view it if they want substantial outdoor space, flexible living areas and the ability to expand or add garaging under existing planning consent.
