A most appealing and tastefully presented bay fronted Victorian detached house with double garage and beautiful gardens within a popular village convenient for both Shrewsbury and Oswestry. IN ALL ABOUT 0.33 ACRE.

Directons - From Shrewsbury take the B5067 Berwick road, and on reaching the outskirts of Baschurch, proceed up through the centre, past the Spar shop and then continue a short distance and turn immediately right after a converted chapel on the right, which leads down a shared access driveway. The entrance to the property will be seen first on the left.

Situation - The property is most attractively situated, tucked away in a conservation area of the village and within easy walking distance of the Spar shop/Post office, church and two pubs/restaurants. The village also offers takeaway food and the facilities of a tennis club and bowling club. The local Corbett school is highly regarded, whilst private schools include Packwood Haugh at Ruyton XI Towns and Adcote girls school. More comprehensive amenities are readily accessed in Shrewsbury, which has an excellent shopping centre, good selection of international cuisine and a rail service. Alternatively to the north lies the market town of Oswestry. Commercial centres further afield are easily accessed for commuters including Wrexham, Chester, Telford and Wolverhampton.

Description - Sandford House is a fine example of a late Victorian detached family house offering striking architectural features both internally and externally. The handsome front elevation incorporates two large bay windows, together with a central porch entrance featuring a part stained leaded light door with matching side windows and overhead lights. There is a traditional tiled reception hall floor with a PITCH PINE staircase and an excellent cellar, whilst the main accommodation is beautifully presented and tastefully modernised. The improvements include a new Conservatory which opens through to a refitted high specification bespoke kitchen by DAVID ORTON, which includes granite work surfaces, solid pine cabinets with cream painted fronts and complemented by a selection of BOSCH appliances. Also on the ground floor is a newly fitted shower/wet room, which will no doubt be attractive to families. On the first floor the four bedrooms are served by a refitted bathroom suite. In addition to the improvements the property is complemented by an additional three reception rooms and a separate side conservatory off the dining room.

Outside, there is a generous size parking area with ample space for a number of vehicles, together with a double garage which incorporates electric automatic doors and a loft space. The gardens are a particularly pleasing feature to the property with various lawned areas, abundantly stocked borders, fruit trees and a vegetable area, whilst looking out from the new conservatory is a pebble beach pond which has been recently relined.
