VIDEO AVAILABLE ON REQUEST - It's hard to imagine that this detached country house is only just over a mile from the town centre. It could be miles from anywhere, the wide plot facing a leafy country lane with far reaching views over rolling Shropshire countryside and fishing lakes in the distance - bliss! Of course, it is named Crossing Cottage for a reason, in that it backs onto a railway line, but once the odd train passes, it is business as usual with only bird song in the hedgerows interrupting the silence. The current owner employs a gardener, so the grounds are very well maintained with neatly manicured lawns and a variety of bushes, trees and shrubs. In addition to the triple garage there is ample parking. The house has been extended and provides genuine family sized accommodation including a spacious dining hall in addition to 2 further reception rooms and granite kitchen. Upstairs all four bedrooms are 'doubles', 2 with modern en-suite shower rooms and a refitted family bathroom. One bedroom is currently used as an additional sitting room, with Juliette balconies taking full advantage of views to the front and side. Economy conscious buyers are bound to be impressed by the installation of a ground sourced heat pump, complemented by solar panels on the garage roof. Needless to say, we strongly recommend an internal inspection.
