This substantial Edwardian detached house sits in the heart of Wem, an easy walk from shops, Good/Outstanding primary schools and rural walking routes. High ceilings, exposed floorboards and working fireplaces give the home authentic period character while offering practical family living over two storeys.
The layout is versatile: three bedrooms upstairs and a flexible downstairs sitting room that currently functions as a bedroom with its own ensuite shower — useful for an older child, guest or ground-floor living. Reception rooms include a living room, separate lounge and dining room that opens onto an enclosed rear garden with slate patio and lawn. Off-street parking and a large plot add useful outdoor and storage space.
The kitchen is fitted with oak units and a Belfast sink; other features include coved ceilings, picture rails and fitted carpets to the first-floor bedrooms. Services are mains electricity, gas, water and drainage; there is no flood risk recorded. Buyers should note the property is an older period home and will benefit from ongoing maintenance and cosmetic updating to modernise bathrooms and finishes to personal taste.
This house will suit families seeking space and character close to town amenities and good schools, or buyers wanting a period house with potential to refresh rather than full renovation. Prospective purchasers should verify all details and survey for building services and condition prior to exchange.
