  • IN ALL ABOUT 1.29 ACRES
A particularly appealing and versatile detached country house having been tastefully extended and benefitting from solar panels, large garage, extensive gardens and grounds, whilst backing onto open farmland with a wonderful view. IN ALL ABOUT 1.29 ACRES.

Directions - From Shrewsbury proceed north to Harmer Hill taking the Ellesmere Road, then after about 1.5 miles turn left into the village. Proceed down the bank and turn first right onto Brookside. Follow this lane and the property will be found last on the left.

Situation - The property is well situated on the fringe of the popular village of Myddle, whilst backing onto open farmland, which provides wonderful unspoilt views. The village itself provides a primary school, pub/restaurant and church, whilst a further range of amenities can be found in the neighbouring village of Baschurch which includes the popular Corbett school. The surrounding countryside offers some lovely walks.

Commuters have ready access to a number of commuter links including access through to the M54 motorway and then onto Telford and Wolverhampton beyond. Alternatively north is Oswestry and Wrexham. There is a railway halt close by at Yorton and the town of Wem also provides a rail service together with a selection of shops, social and leisure facilities.

Description - Picton House offers an impressive, edge of village, 4/5 bedroom detached country house, which could suit a range of buyers including families and retirees. The house has been attractively extended and altered to provide versatile and spacious accommodation particularly to the ground floor, which offers a contemporary living environment. The accommodation is tastefully presented and there is scope in the area of the family room and adjoining boiler room to create a fifth bedroom with en-suite facilities, alternatively the use of this room has multiple options including a work from home office.

Externally there is an attractive and spacious block pavioured parking space for a number of cars. The garage is larger than average for a single garage with space for a workshop area. The formal gardens extend around the house and include a sun terrace facing out towards the rear farmland. Adjacent to this area are the remaining grounds, which are quite extensive in size and have been well planted with a number of specimen trees, wild flowers and grasses, including a mown path which meanders through. This area could be opened out to provide more formal gardens, a large vegetable plot, or merely a great play area for children.

THE WHOLE EXTENDS TO APPROXIMATELY 1.29 ACRES.

Solar Pv Panels - The property benefits from solar PV panels, fitted in 2019, which are ground mounted within the grounds of the property. The panels provide useful electricity generation based on a Feed-in Tariff with battery electricity storage, which were installed in 2021.
