Description

A characterful four-bedroom detached country cottage boasting over 2,300 sq ft of sympathetically appointed living accommodation, set within around 1.2ac and featuring a double oak carport, attractive gardens, and an open aspect to the rear; peacefully situated in a rural hamlet convenient for Ellesmere.

Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer Peart Tree Cottage in Northwood for sale by private treaty.

Pear Tree Cottage is an effortlessly charming four-bedroom period country cottage which has been comprehensively modernised and significantly extended by the current vendors, to now provide over 2,300 sq ft of sympathetically presented and elegantly proportioned living accommodation.

The property is set within land and gardens which extend, in all, to around 1.2ac; featuring ample driveway parking, a timber carport, and manicured lawns inset with a range of established planting, alongside pasture land which provides space for the grazing of a variety of livestock.

Situation - Pear Tree Cottage occupies a pleasant semi-rural position within the bucolic hamlet of Northwood, which lies against a backdrop of gently undulating countryside on the Wales/England border and allows immediate access to a network of country lanes, bridleways, and public footpaths, making it ideal for those with rambling, cycling, or equestrian interests.

The property is conveniently situated for access to the nearby lakeland town of Ellesmere, which boasts a respectable range of day-to-day amenities, including Schools, Supermarket, and Public Houses, with the larger towns of Oswestry, Whitchurch, and Shrewsbury all located within a comfortable distance and offering a broader array of conveniences and attractions.

Directions - What3Words///snuggled.speak.official

Leave Ellesmere to the North via Grange Road, continuing for around 1 mile until a right hand turn (signposted Penley) leads onto a country lane. Proceed on the lane for around 1.9 miles and the property will be situated on the left and identified by a Halls "For Sale" board.

Property - The property is principally accessed via a characterful external Porch, reminiscent of a period lychgate, from where an ornate front door opens into a Reception Hall and on to a ground floor Cloakroom. Turning right, one enters two particularly versatile and interconnected reception rooms, each enjoying dual-aspect windows and an array of exposed timbers, with each also boasting multi-fuel burners which allow them an especially welcoming and family-friendly ambience.

Turning left from the Reception Hall, a door allows access into a substantial Kitchen/Breakfast Room featuring tiled floors and a sympathetically appointed fitted kitchen, alongside ample space for a dining or breakfast table and a glazed door which leads out onto the driveway.

From the kitchen, doors open, respectively, into a stairwell which rises to the first floor, and a useful Utility/Boot Room which tertiary external door.

Stairs culminate at a first floor landing, from where doors open into four comfortably sized Bedrooms, all of which offer views across the front gardens and towards the open countryside which envelopes the home.

Of particular note is the principal Bedroom, which benefits from an adjoining Ensuite bathroom, with the remining rooms served by a family Shower Room situated alongside Bedroom three.

Outside - Pear Tree Cottage nestles within land and gardens which extend, in all, to around 1.2ac and perch in a slightly elevated position above open countryside which descends to the north.

The property is accessed via a timber gate set within mature hedge boundaries which opens onto a driveway which culminates at ample parking for a number of vehicles set alongside a detached timber Carport, so designed as to complement the period nature of the home and benefitting from lower and light laid on.

To the fore of the property are areas of lawn intersected by an attractive paved walkway bordered by established planting, this winding from the parking to the front porch, with, to the rear, a further expanse of well maintained lawn interspersed by mature trees. To the side of the property, and so placed as to capitalise on the views the home enjoys, is a patio area ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining.

Encompassing the gardens to the north and east is a conveniently sized paddock with separate road access, ideal for those with equestrian interests or for those buyers simply looking to secure themselves a chance to lead the good life.

Schooling - The property is conveniently situated for access to a number of well regarded state and private schools, including The Madras School, The Maelor School, Ellesmere Primary, Lakelands Academy, Ellesmere College, Moreton Hall, Packwood Haugh, and Oswestry School.
