What 3 Words - ///enigma.bystander.snug
Situation - The property is well positioned within this popular village, which provides a number of useful amenities including a shop, medical practice, primary and nursery schools and a tennis club. The village is also ideally placed for access to shopping, general leisure and social facilities at either Shrewsbury, Telford or Newport, where there are also a selection of schools. The surrounding countryside is known for its unspoilt farmlands and walks, whilst commuters will be pleased to note that there is ready access to a number of commercial routes linking through to Telford, Wolverhampton and The Potteries.
Description - The property provides a unique and most appealing opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented former Head Master's period house, together with the adjoining old Grammar school. The two buildings presently form linked separate homes, however, could easily with certain alterations be opened up to form one substantial house with generous gardens.
THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE enjoys a contemporary living environment with a blend of tradition, incorporating oak flooring to a large area of the ground floor and Amtico flooring in the kitchen and utility. There are two separate reception rooms which benefit from a twin aspect multi fuel/log burner. The kitchen is particularly well equipped with modern fittings, excellent cupboard storage space and a range of appliances, whilst having a semi open design to the dining area and being fully open to the adjacent garden room, which has wonderful views out onto the garden. On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms which are then served by a shower room and a separate wash room with a bathroom on the ground floor.
The adjoining OLD GRAMMAR SCHOOL could be opened out via the Old School House sitting room. This area of the property has been the home of a dependent relative and is particularly well proportioned with a double bedroom, shower room, kitchen, living room and garden/dining room which has access out onto its own patio and the main gardens.
For those seeking a separate living annexe to the main house, the property is unusually blessed with a wonderfully presented separate STUDIO ANNEXE, which has recently had a new fitted kitchen and shower room and has been redecorated. There is a garden area immediately adjacent. The Studio Annexe may also be of interest to those seeking a Home Office Suite, Therapy Rooms or a Hobbies area.
