Situation: Falkland Manor is a beautifully presented house situated on the edge of the thriving village of Dorrington. Set in the heart of the golden triangle of South Shropshire enjoying breathtaking views ranging from the Stiperstones in the west through the Long Mynd around to the Wenlock Edge in the east.
The village of Dorrington has a lively community with a butcher, a post office and a shop plus the well-regarded public house, The Dorrington’s Horseshoes, and The Old Hall Persian restaurant. The historic county town of Shrewsbury is approximately a 15-minute drive away and offers an excellent range of shopping, leisure and social facilities including the Theatre Severn and the popular Quarry Park. A number of highly regarded private and state schools can also be found within Shrewsbury and the surrounding area.
Transport links within the area are good with the A49 linking to the A5 north via Oswestry towards Chester and east via the A5 / M54 to Telford, Wolverhampton and Birmingham. Church Stretton is on the main Manchester to Cardiff railway line. Regional international airports are at Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham.
The accommodation comprises; large central hall with an impressive galleried staircase. Double doors lead into a formal drawing room with an open fireplace with the study, downstairs WC, dining room and garden room accessed behind the staircase. There is a large open-plan family sitting room with a log burner and Inglenook fireplace which leads to a modern fitted kitchen / breakfast room well equipped with a range cooker and access to a large pantry, laundry and both the garden and garage. The wide staircase leads up to a gallery enjoying views to the south.
The two bedrooms to the front of the property have spectacular views and offer en suite bathrooms and walk-in cupboards. There are three further bedrooms and a family shower room, cinema room and sixth bedroom with en suite facilities.
Outside, to the front, is the extensive lawned area with herbaceous borders and climbers. Across the drive is a home office and vegetable garden. The walled rear garden enjoys a terraced area and a raised fishpond. Falkland Manor has two double garages, one attached to the house plus a standalone double garage to the side of the house.
Due to the size and flexibility of the property, subject to the relevant planning permission, either garage could potentially be adapted to suit multi-generational family living, auxiliary accommodation or as a home generating a rental yield including a self-contained annexe.
Directions: From Shrewsbury, take the A49 south and continue until reaching Dorrington. Proceed through the village of Dorrington and shortly after passing The Dorrington's Horseshoes public house, turn left onto Falkland Road. Follow this road straight ahead where you will reach the electric gates for Falkland Manor.Acreage: 0.75
