Oak Lodge is a substantial, characterful detached home set in approximately 5 acres of landscaped grounds in Rowton, close to Aston-on-Clun. Period features — exposed beams, a stone fireplace with wood-burning stove, leaded windows and a library — give the house strong character while large reception rooms and a conservatory provide flexible family living. The principal suite includes an ensuite with a soaking tub; there is scope to convert the large loft to two additional bedrooms if more sleeping space is needed.
The grounds are a standout: manicured lawns, a fenced vegetable plot, greenhouse, tennis court, pond with a rustic cabin, and a detached double garage with workshop and additional large shed for machinery. A private driveway increases seclusion, and an EV charging point answers modern needs. Far-reaching countryside views and direct access to walking and cycling in the Shropshire Hills AONB make this a good choice for buyers who value outdoor life.
Important practical points are straightforward: the house is oil‑heated with a boiler and radiators and runs from an oil supply (not a community system). Exterior walls are granite/whinstone with no assumed insulation, and while double glazing was installed after 2002, the property’s age (pre-1900) means some traditional maintenance and upgrading may be required. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow, which could affect home-working without a specialist solution. Council tax is noted as quite expensive.
Overall, Oak Lodge will suit a family or purchaser seeking an established country home offering privacy, extensive grounds and immediate recreational amenities. It rewards buyers prepared to invest in sympathetic updating and connectivity improvements to fully realise its potential.
