Situation - The property is situated within the popular village of Higher Heath. The North Shropshire towns of Whitchurch and Wem are both within easy motoring distance and have an excellent range of local shopping, quality restaurants, recreational and education facilities, major supermarkets and train stations with great access to Crewe, Manchester & Shrewsbury. There are excellent road links to South Shropshire, North Wales & the Midlands & the North West.

There is a daily bus for primary, secondary schools & a local independent school and the collection point is 200m from the property. There is also a regular bus service to Whitchurch & Shrewsbury, and the bus stop is within easy walking distance.

Brief Description - Halls are delighted with the instructions to sell Walnut Cottage by private treaty.

The accommodation is presented to an excellent standard throughout and begins with a welcoming reception hall leading to a spacious living and dining room, centred around an attractive feature fireplace that creates a warm and inviting focal point. The heart of the home is the recently refitted contemporary kitchen, thoughtfully designed with an extensive range of quality units, generous worktop space and a comprehensive selection of integrated appliances. Complementing the living accommodation is a delightful garden room off the kitchen, providing a peaceful place to relax whilst enjoying uninterrupted views across the magnificent gardens.

The ground floor also offers two generous double bedrooms together with a stylish, newly fitted shower room finished to a high specification. To the first floor, the impressive principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, whilst a fourth bedroom provides flexible accommodation for guests, family members or a home office. Both first-floor bedrooms enjoy far-reaching views over the beautifully maintained gardens and surrounding grounds.

Offering a rare combination of beautifully presented accommodation, exceptional gardens and land, this delightful country home provides an enviable opportunity to embrace a more relaxed way of life whilst remaining within easy reach of Whitchurch, Market Drayton and the excellent road links throughout North Shropshire.

Outside And Gardens - Approached off the lane to a sweeping circular driveway, the property immediately creates an impressive first impression, providing extensive parking and access to a detached garage together with a substantial triple car port, ideal for vehicle enthusiasts, caravans or additional storage.

The gardens are undoubtedly one of the property's most outstanding features. Beautifully landscaped and lovingly maintained, they include expansive lawns framed by mature trees, established shrubs and colourful flower borders, creating year-round interest and complete privacy. To the rear, an extensive paved terrace provides the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining, complete with a dedicated barbecue area and covered seating space for relaxing with family and friends. Tucked away at the far end of the garden is an attractive summer house, offering a peaceful retreat from which to appreciate the surrounding grounds.

Beyond the formal gardens lies a useful paddock, ideal for those wishing to keep a pony, grazing animals or simply enjoy additional outdoor space, further enhancing the property's lifestyle appeal.
