Description
A beautifully positioned detached four-bedroom country home, set within approximately one acre of elevated grounds and enjoying far-reaching views across the surrounding Shropshire countryside.
Approached via a private gated driveway, this individual detached property occupies an impressive plot, with beautifully established gardens, areas of woodland and a wonderfully secluded setting. The elevated position provides delightful views across the surrounding countryside, while the grounds themselves are a particular feature, offering a variety of landscaped areas to explore. The woodland setting also attracts regular visits from local wildlife, adding to the property's peaceful rural appeal.
The accommodation is generously proportioned and retains a wealth of character. An impressive reception hall provides a welcoming entrance, with a guest cloakroom and doors leading through to the principal living spaces.
The generous dual-aspect lounge enjoys an abundance of natural light and features an attractive open coal fire, creating a warm and inviting focal point. The adjacent dining room is well proportioned and benefits from a woodburning stove, making it an ideal space for both everyday dining and entertaining.
The kitchen/breakfast room has a distinctly traditional country feel, featuring a walk-in pantry, oil-fired Aga and attractive quarry tiled flooring. A useful utility room and separate store provide valuable additional storage and complete the ground floor accommodation.
To the first floor are four bedrooms, including a particularly well-appointed principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room. Bedroom two also benefits from built-in wardrobes together with its own vanity basin, while two further bedrooms are served by a large family bathroom.
Outside, the property is approached over a generous private driveway providing ample parking. The extensive gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of contrasting areas, with mature planting, lawned spaces and woodland combining to create a beautiful and varied setting. The grounds provide both privacy and plenty of opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, with the elevated position adding to the sense of space and tranquillity.
A substantial concrete double garage provides accommodation for two vehicles, with further driveway parking available.
The property benefits from oil-fired central heating, with drainage provided by a large-capacity septic tank.
The location is particularly appealing for families, with the local primary school situated less than half a mile away. Further primary schooling is available in nearby Coalbrookdale, with a choice of secondary schools within easy reach.
The historic town of Ironbridge is just a short drive away and offers an attractive selection of independent shops, traditional pubs, restaurants, cafés and renowned museums, together with the wider attractions of the Ironbridge Gorge.
For commuters and those seeking extensive shopping and leisure facilities, Telford town centre is approximately 20 minutes' drive, offering a wide range of shops, restaurants and recreational amenities, together with convenient access to the M54 motorway.
In all, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached family home occupying an exceptional rural plot, combining generous accommodation, character features, extensive gardens and beautiful countryside views in a peaceful yet accessible Shropshire setting.
