Situation: Dating back to 1845, 1 The Grove has been sympathetically modernised and extended by the current vendors to provide an excellent five bedroom semi-detached house with far-reaching views from the front and the rear of the property.
A large porch covers the front door and provides ample space for storage before leading through into the large and bright modern entrance hall. To the left is a large multi-purpose family room that doubles as the home office with a dual aspect and magnificent engineered oak wood flooring. Off the hall is the country kitchen with views over the garden to the rear, a built-in double oven, hob, dishwasher, a double ceramic sink and space for the fridge freezer. Off here, the utility room (having space for a washing machine and tumble dryer) leads to the cloakroom beyond.
The dining room is located off the kitchen with engineered oak wood flooring and spectacular views out of the patio doors. Finally the smart sitting room with a multi-fuel burner as the centrepiece in the fireplace.
Upstairs, there are five double bedrooms, two significant and the third still substantial. In addition, there is a family bathroom, and its positioning within the house offers the potential to create a further en suite and family bathroom if a buyer wishes to do so.
Outside, an open garden to the front and a similar-sized garden to the rear, both making use of the excellent views. There is a chicken coop, pen, orchard with mixed fruit trees, mixed currant bushes and a raspberry patch in the rear garden.
Further beyond, two large paddocks measure just over an acre each. Both paddocks have access to running water; the top paddock has two loose boxes, a tack room and a fenced concrete yard with a water tap and an owl box. The bottom paddock has a bird hide and a further water trough. On top of the building, there is a small solar array, which has another 14 years of Feed-In-Tariff to run, providing electricity to the house and an added income of roughly £580 per annum.
The property is within easy reach of Shrewsbury, a historic county town. It provides a full range of shopping, leisure and social facilities as well as a selection of primary and secondary schools in both the public and private sectors. Transport links within the area are excellent, with both the A49 and the A458 linking to the A5 north via Oswestry towards Chester, and east via the A5 / M54 to Telford, Wolverhampton and Birmingham.
Please Note: There is one water trough which is shared between the two fields in the middle of the dividing fence. There is a shared right of access along the track from the main road.
Please Note: The septic tank is currently being upgraded to meet the general binding rules.
Directions: From the Column roundabout in Shrewsbury, take the Wenlock Road towards Much Wenlock. Proceed over the roundabout and take the second right, signed Pitchford and Acton Burnell. Proceed along this road for 3.3 miles, past the red postbox at the junction. Take the first right after the old garage. 1 The Grove is the second house on the right.
