Situation: Longswood Farm is set in an idillyic position, slightly elevated with an open westerly view to the front.

The property consists of a main house of just under 5,000 square feet and renovations have almost been completed. The vendors bought the property as a project but have decided to have a lifestyle change and thus are selling at a stage where all the incoming purchaser has to do is to complete the decorating.

The property boasts a fully equipped, open-plan kitchen with a Marble Quartz island doubling as a breakfast bar. There is a half landing which could either be a play room, a library or a study. Adjoining is the large family room featuring a wood burner. There is a formal drawing room and dining room, both featuring wood burners and far-reaching views to the front of the house. There is a good sized dual aspect study, a utility room, boot room and a large cloakroom.

Upstairs on the first floor is the guest bedroom, with its own en suite shower room. Next door is the large master suite making full use of the views to the front. There is a large dressing room next door and a large bathroom beyond, with a separate bath and shower as well as a double sink.

On the third floor is a generous second guest bedroom, currently laid out as a TV room, with en suite. Next door is a generous family shower room. Beyond are three further double bedrooms.

Outside, the gym is next door with a sizeable games room beyond. There is a one bedroom annexe with its own bathroom and bedroom via a spiral staircase.

The garden is mature and well established. There is the potential to greatly expand this further to beyond the current dogs pen / storeroom and reform the fallen building into a summer house with a view. On the other side, there are three paddocks which have been used to house sheep but as there is an existing stable there, it would be easy to convert to equestrian use.

The barns are extensive and plans are currently being drawn up for them to be converted into residential units. However, it is easily possible that they could be repurposed as an equestrian center. There is a further access that continues beyond the entrance to Longswood which would enable the barns to have a seperate entrance to that of the farmhouse.

In all, there are 7.41 acres (3 ha) of land with the property, however, this has not been fenced and the farmer is currently ploughing the land until a new purchaser comes in to the property and fences off the boundary.

Longswood is located on the northern side of Telford with excellent commuter access onto the M54. Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton and Birmingham are close by. There are excellent rail services from Wellington and Shrewsbury with London services from Stafford and Wolverhampton.

There are many schools in the vicinity with Prestfelde, Old Hall, Birchfield, and Packwood Haugh as Prep Schools or Shrewsbury School, Wrekin College, Shrewsbury High School, Thomas Telford, Adams Grammar as Secondary Schools.

Note: There are currently windows on order for the house and a new flue for the boiler is due to be finished as part of the sale.
