Description
Situation: Spunhill House is a handsome detached country residence, providing almost 5,000 square feet of elegant, understated accommodation, as well as outbuildings and delightful gardens and grounds. Set in a tranquil position close to White Mere lake and surrounded by beautiful Shropshire countryside, the property is also within easy reach of the bustling town of Ellesmere.
The house features splendid red brick elevations and substantial proportions, with the accommodation arranged across three beautifully presented levels. On the ground floor, the welcoming central entrance hall leads to two comfortable reception rooms at the front. Both rooms have dual aspects, welcoming plenty of natural light, as well as fireplaces fitted with logburners, including the sitting room’s splendid brick-built fireplace with timber lintel.
The ground floor also has a dining room for family meals or entertaining guests, while the well-equipped kitchen has shaker-style units, a central island with a breakfast bar. Adjoining the kitchen, the walk-in pantry offers space for storage and further appliances, as does the utility room to the rear.
On the first floor, you will find three generous, similarly proportioned double bedrooms. This includes the impressive principal bedroom with its dressing room, which offers built-in storage, and its en suite bathroom with a bathtub and a separate shower. This level also has a shared shower room, while on the second floor, there are a further three well-presented double bedrooms, plus a family bathroom.
The property lies in close to the banks of White Mere and is set within delightful gardens. At the entrance, the driveway leads to a shared concrete and cobbled courtyard, off which there is access to the brick-built barn, with its garaging, and stables.
The gardens and grounds extend to approximately 2.21 acres and feature rolling lawns, various mature trees, established flowering shrubs and hedgerows, as well as patio and terracing for al fresco dining, and further outbuildings provide further storage and workshop space.
