Summary - MOONRAKER, SHREWSBURY, MERRINGTON, BOMERE HEATH SY4 3QJ
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Five-bed detached home on 1.18 acres with paddock and double garage, chain free.
Approximately 1.18 acre plot with landscaped gardens and adjoining paddock
Set on an exceptional plot of approximately 1.18 acres, Moonraker is a substantial individually designed detached house offering spacious multi-level living and strong potential for modernisation. The property combines mature, landscaped gardens, an adjoining paddock with gated vehicular access, and an extensive private driveway leading to a double garage — a rare package for a rural setting close to Bomere Heath and only a short drive from Shrewsbury.
Internally the layout suits a growing family or someone seeking flexible living: five bedrooms across split levels, an impressive top-floor living room with rear balcony, separate dining room, and a generous kitchen/breakfast room with utility. Double glazing and oil-fired central heating are in place, but many internal fittings (kitchen, bathrooms, some decor) reflect mid-20th-century styling and would benefit from updating to meet modern tastes.
Practical considerations are straightforward: mains water and electricity are connected, drainage is to a septic tank, and heating is oil-fuelled (not on a community system). The house is of solid brick construction and was built before 1900; there is no confirmed cavity insulation. It is sold freehold and chain free, which simplifies purchase, but prospective buyers should note likely refurbishment costs and that council tax is described as quite expensive.
For buyers prioritising outdoor space, the adjoining paddock makes the plot attractive for smallholding, equestrian use or simply exceptional privacy and scope for landscaping. Its semi-rural hamlet location offers quiet living with good mobile signal and average broadband speeds — ideal for those seeking countryside living with reasonable connectivity.
