Set deep in the Shropshire countryside, this substantial five‑bedroom detached house sits on approximately 9.5 acres of lawns, paddocks and outbuildings — a rare opportunity for a family seeking space, privacy and equestrian or small‑holding potential. The home combines traditional character (dormers, exposed brick fireplace) with a large, light open‑plan kitchen/family room featuring two sets of bi‑fold doors and a glazed roof, creating a social heart that looks out over open fields.
Accommodation is generous and versatile: five double bedrooms (two with en suites), two further reception rooms useful as a snug and home office, and plenty of outbuildings and parkland. Practical features include oil‑fired boiler with ground‑floor underfloor heating, double glazing and a gated drive with ample parking — all supporting comfortable family living in a quiet hamlet location roughly ten miles from Shrewsbury.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. Heating runs on oil (off‑grid supply), which affects running costs and servicing; cavity walls are recorded as built without added insulation, so energy efficiency could be improved; broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average — important for home working. There are also additional barns and around 2.5 acres available by separate negotiation, which may interest buyers wanting more agricultural or development scope.
Overall this is a characterful, spacious country house with substantial grounds and clear potential to personalise and upgrade. It will suit families or purchasers seeking equestrian/outdoor space who value privacy and countryside views, and who understand the upkeep and running‑cost implications of a rural, oil‑heated property.
