Spacious adaptable country home with large gardens and annexe potential.
Former school house conversion with strong period character
Set in half an acre of established gardens on the edge of Shawbury, this converted former school house blends period character with flexible family living. The main house offers three bedrooms and generous reception rooms, while a self-contained ground-floor annexe provides two further bedrooms, a sitting room and kitchen/utility — ideal for multigenerational living, guests or letting income.
The heart of the home is a bespoke kitchen with solid timber worktops and a dining room that opens to a courtyard. A traditional living room with fireplace, a powered garden office/studio and a 10m x 4m polytunnel add practical value for remote working and gardening enthusiasts. Driveway parking, a garage and an electric car charging point deliver everyday convenience for modern households.
This property has genuine countryside appeal with uninterrupted farmland views and mature, informal planting across a very large plot. The layout is versatile and suits families who want space to adapt — whether that means home offices, hobby rooms or accommodating relatives on-site.
Notable practical points: the EPC is rated D, broadband speeds vary (basic 15Mbps, superfast 130Mbps), and double glazing dates are not specified. The house was formed from a conversion of an older building and reflects that era’s construction; prospective buyers should note likely ongoing maintenance typical of period conversions and may wish to verify mechanical and electrical systems during survey.
Overall this is a rare opportunity to buy a substantial, character-filled home in a peaceful rural setting, offering both privacy and excellent adaptability for growing or multi-generational households.
