Description

An elegantly modernised and much improved four-bedroom barn conversion offering substantial accommodation extending to approximately 2,995 sq ft, complemented by land and gardens which extend, in all, to circa 1.75ac; peacefully situated in a rural hamlet close to Ellesmere.

Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer Lythmere in Lee, near Ellesmere, for sale by private treaty.

Lythmere is a beautifully renovated and much improved barn conversion, offering substantial accommodation extending to approximately 2,995 sq ft. Completed to an impeccable standard, the property combines original character with a contemporary interior, featuring exposed timbers, vaulted ceilings, generous open-plan living accommodation and four bedrooms.

Outside, the property enjoys an attractive rural setting with established gardens and grounds incorporating a pond and countryside views. A substantial gravelled courtyard provides extensive parking, complemented by a detached carport and garage/workshop.

Situation - Lythmere is situated alongside a quiet country lane within the rural hamlet of Lee, which nestles amongst the undulating splendour of the renowned north Shropshire countryside and affords the property a particularly tranquil setting. Whilst enjoying all that’s best about rural living, the property retains a convenient proximity to the Lakeland town of Ellesmere, which provides a respectable range of amenities, including Schools, Supermarket, Restaurants, Public Houses, and Independent Shops, with excellent walking routes on offer around not only The Mere but the canal network.

The property is also well situated for access to the wider area and, in particular, the market towns of Oswestry and Whitchurch, with the county centres of Shrewsbury, Wrexham, and Chester all lying within reasonable commuting distance.

Directions - Leave Ellesmere via Birch Road, in the direction of Tetchill and, immediately after crossing the canal bridge, turn left (signposted Lee, Lower Hordley, Bagley) and proceed, passing Ellesmere College on the right and continuing into the hamlet of Lee, for around 1.2 miles, where the property will be situated on the right, identified by a Halls “For Sale”

The Property - The accommodation centres around an impressive double-height reception hall, featuring a substantial oak staircase, galleried landing and full-height glazing. Exposed timbers, slate flooring and oak joinery establish the quality evident throughout.

The principal living accommodation incorporates a superb kitchen/breakfast room with extensive oak units and a substantial central island, opening into generous dining and sitting areas. A fireplace, fitted shelving and French doors complement this impressive open-plan arrangement. A separate family room provides additional reception space, whilst a ground-floor shower room, spacious utility and adjoining boot room/store complete the accommodation at this level.

The first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with dressing room and en-suite facilities. A further bedroom benefits from shower facilities, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom. Exposed timbers and vaulted ceilings retain the building's original character.

Gardens & Grounds - The grounds are a particularly attractive feature of the property and extend, in all, to approximately 1.75ac.

Approached off a quiet country lane, a gated entrance opens onto a substantial gravelled courtyard, providing extensive parking and turning space. Mature trees, established hedging and attractive planting create a pleasing degree of enclosure whilst retaining the rural outlook.

The gardens and grounds extend away from the house and are predominantly laid to grass, interspersed with mature trees and natural planting. Of particular note is the attractive pond, forming a focal point within the grounds and enjoying a backdrop of open countryside.

Beyond the pond is a versatile paddock, ideal for those with equestrian or agricultural interests.

A detached timber outbuilding incorporates an open-fronted carport and garage/workshop, providing useful covered parking, storage and workspace. Further paved and gravelled areas adjoining the house provide more private outdoor spaces.

Tenure & Possession - We understand that the property is of freehold tenure and vacant possession will be given on completion of the purchase.

Services - We understand that the property has the benefit of mains water and electric. Drainage is provided to a private system.

Aml - Anti Money Laundering - We are legally obligated to undertake anti-money laundering checks on all property purchasers. Whilst we are responsible for ensuring that these checks, and any ongoing monitoring, are conducted properly; the initial checks will be handled on our behalf by a specialist company, Movebutler, who will reach out to you once your offer has been accepted.

The charge for these checks is £36 (including VAT) per purchaser, which covers the necessary data collection and any manual checks or monitoring that may be required. This cost must be paid in advance, directly to Movebutler, before a memorandum of sale can be issued, and is non-refundable. We thank you for your cooperation.
