Walford Lodge is a spacious five-bedroom country house set on a very large plot in scenic rural Shropshire. The home blends period character—exposed beams, log burners and dormer windows—with practical modern comforts such as double glazing, acoustic glazing and an air filtration system. Mature, landscaped gardens with fruit trees, terraces and a natural pond create private outdoor rooms ideal for family life or entertaining.
The interior layout is versatile and well suited to multi-generational living: a long open-plan living and dining space anchored by a log-burning stove, a second living room with a separate staircase and two attic bedrooms, plus a ground-floor bathroom with a jacuzzi bath. A self-contained annexe within the grounds offers independent living space for relatives or potential holiday-let income, increasing the property’s flexibility.
Practical details are straightforward: freehold tenure, oil-fired central heating with boiler and radiators, mains electricity and water, and a septic tank. The village offers local amenities and good primary and secondary schooling nearby; Shrewsbury and Church Stretton are within reasonable driving distance, with good road links to the A5 and M54 for broader commuting.
Buyers should note some constraints: the property’s broadband speeds are very slow, heating runs on oil (off-grid fuel), and the house sits on a septic tank rather than mains drainage. These are typical of rural homes and may affect running costs and connectivity for home-working. Overall, this is a characterful, adaptable family home with significant outdoor space and annexe potential.
