Summary - THE LAURELS THE FOXHOLES WEM SHREWSBURY SY4 5UJ
4 bed 2 bath Country House
Spacious rural living with outbuildings and grazing close to Wem.
Approx. 7 acres of gardens, paddocks and additional 5.25-acre parcel
Set within about 7 acres of gardens and paddocks, The Laurels is a characterful detached country home offering flexible family accommodation over two floors. The substantial plot combines well-tended formal gardens, productive vegetable beds and a pond, with adjoining grazing paddocks and an additional ~5.25 acre parcel to the north — attractive for equestrian uses or small-scale hobby farming (subject to local authority consent).
Internally the house provides generous, characterful rooms including a large sitting room with inglenook and multi-fuel burner, a modern-feeling kitchen, utility and a ground-floor office/bedroom with en-suite. The layout suits family life with separate dining and reception spaces, practical boot and utility areas and plentiful storage in built-in cupboards on the first floor.
Practical outbuildings add real utility: a detached workshop (circa 600 sq ft) with wash-down room and stores, a large potting shed and a block of kennels with multiple pens. A substantial gravel parking area serves the house and provides easy vehicular access; the land and buildings together create scope for varied uses such as equestrian, small-scale animal care or garden projects, subject to consents.
Important drawbacks are stated plainly: the property has oil-fired heating, drainage to a private system, very slow broadband and average mobile signal — all important for home-working or modern connectivity needs. Council Tax is band E (above average). The house dates from the late 1960s/1970s with later extensions and retains mixed-period elements; some updating and routine maintenance should be expected to align services and finishes with current standards.
