The Old Vicarage,Great Ness,SHREWSBURY,SY4 2LE
SY4 2LE
Five large bedrooms with high ceilings and original fireplaces
Built in 1800 and finished in local sandstone, The Old Vicarage is a substantial Georgian family home with grand proportions and authentic period detail. High ceilings, decorative cornicing, sash windows and original fireplaces create elegant reception spaces; a conservatory and large south-westerly gardens take advantage of views towards Nesscliffe Woods and the Shropshire Hills. Recent sympathetic works include a renewed roof and secondary glazing in sash casements.
Set on about 0.56 acres with extensive outbuildings, the property offers practical rural living alongside development potential: a former granary, separate workshop and a three-bay carport/storeroom could suit garaging, studio or conversion subject to consents. The mature, landscaped gardens, walled terraces and private drive make it an appealing home for those wanting space for children, hobbies or classic cars.
Practical considerations are straightforward and important. There is only one main bathroom for five bedrooms and some rooms have only wash basins; broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average. There is a right of access for the neighbouring property across part of the courtyard and a shared maintenance agreement for that area. The owners are exploring an overage option for the outbuildings and hardstanding — buyers should ask for details.
Positioned opposite Great Ness church in quiet countryside north of Shrewsbury, the house is well placed for rural schools and commuting routes while offering very low local crime and extensive outdoor leisure nearby. This is a character-rich, large family house for those who want to live in historic surroundings and are comfortable addressing the remaining practical upgrades and administrative points associated with its outbuildings and shared access.
