A superbly situated livestock/residential farm extending to around 108 acres, in a stunning, totally private rural setting approached via a long private drive.

General Remarks - Northwood House Farm is a superbly situated livestock/residential farm in a stunning, totally private rural setting approached via a long private drive.

The farm includes a substantial period farmhouse with lovely surrounding gardens (including tennis court), a yard of traditional and more modern farm buildings and surrounding farmland, within a ring fence, extending to around 108 acres, or thereabouts.

It is unusual for a farm such as this to become available for sale in this area and it should be noted by farmers, those with equestrian interests or to those looking for a first-class country residence in such an enviable secluded, rural setting.

Situation - The farm is situated in a totally private and rural setting, yet is only 2 miles from the centre of the popular north Shropshire lakeland town of Ellesmere. Ellesmere provides extensive local shopping, recreational and educational facilities and is within easy motoring distance of the county towns of Shrewsbury and Chester.

Schooling - Within a short drive are a number of highly rated state and private schools including Ellesmere College, Shrewsbury School, Shrewsbury High School, The Priory, Prestefelde Prep., Packwood Haugh, Adcote School for Girls and Wrekin College.

Farmhouse - The period farmhouse, which is believed to date back originally to 18th Century, provides well-proportioned internal accommodation over three floors, presented to a good standard and boasting a number of attractive features.

The ground floor includes a farmhouse style Kitchen/Breakfast room, Living Room with feature Inglenook fireplace and inset Clearview multi-fuel burning stove, two further reception rooms, a rear Entrance Porch, Shower Room, Utility Room and Workshop together with useful Cellars

The first floor includes four bedrooms and a family bathroom with a further four second floor bedrooms.

The gardens are a super feature including an extensive paved patio terrace to the front providing ideal outdoor entertaining space leading on to sweeping lawns with an attractively set pool to one side and a small orchard area to the other. The gardens are complimented by a hard surface Tennis Court which could now benefit from some remedial works.

Farm Buildings - The farm buildings are conveniently positioned in relation to the farmhouse and are principally set around concreted yards

The traditional range, positioned closest to the farmhouse, extends to around 380 sqm (4090 sqft) and offers great potential for alternative usages such as dependant relative living accommodation, offices, gym, holiday lets etc (subject to LA consents).

The more modern farm buildings are ideal for continuation of livestock housing/fodder storage or could be adapted to those with specific equestrian requirements.

There is significant potential for adaptation or provision of new buildings according to a purchaser's requirements.
