Summary - Drakelow Lane, Wolverley, DY11 5RU DY11 5RU
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Huge, varied gardens, original sandstone features and scope for tasteful improvement.
- Five double bedrooms with spacious principal suite
A rare, character-rich detached house set on a very large, undulating plot with extensive mature planting and unique sandstone features. Believed to date from 1771, the property retains original elements such as wooden beams, exposed sandstone walls and inglenook fireplaces, while a substantial modern farmhouse kitchen with island and granite worktops provides practical family living space.
The accommodation includes five double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a useful double garage. The grounds are a standout asset: multiple sandstone caves, terraces, greenhouse, vegetable plot, fish pond and a variety of fruit and specimen trees create varied outdoor space for children and gardeners. The elevated driveway and parking area provide privacy and a strong sense of seclusion in a village setting.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and the home has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation; some rooms and an en suite/laundry area are unfinished and will need completion. Broadband speeds are very slow and local crime is above average; council tax is described as quite expensive. The house is chain free, freehold and offers considerable scope for sympathetic updating and energy improvements for a buyer prepared to invest.
