Comment by Mark Johnson FRICS @ Baker Wynne And Wilson

Gorse Croft Villa occupies an enviable elevated position on Long Hill Lane. Built in the 1850's of brick under a tiled roof with later additions. The comfortable accommodation has some scope for improvement and over three floors extends to about 1467 square feet.

We envisage that the next owners will opt to modernise and adapt the existing accommodation to their own taste and specification.

Externally there is also much to be recommended. There is a well-stocked lawned garden and paddock of permanent pasture. The land is ideal for those with equestrian or small stock keeping interests.

This property is offered for sale with no on-going chain.

Gorse Croft Villa is surprisingly well connected and in constant visual connection with its beautiful surroundings. The property is adjacent to the Audlem cricket club ground.

Location & Amenities - The property is situated about one mile from Audlem village centre. Audlem is an attractive country village, the centre of which is designated as a conservation area, well known for its historic church dating back to 1279. Also of interest is the Shropshire Union canal which runs close to the village centre and the former Grammar school which was built during the reign of James the First. The sought after, award winning, village of Audlem caters for daily needs with a local co-operative store, post office, newsagents, dry cleaners, butchers, flower shop, restaurant, two cafes, three public houses and a medical centre.

On the educational front there is a primary school in Audlem (Ofsted Good), and the property lies in the catchment area for Brine Leas high school/BL6 sixth form (Ofsted Good).

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted

    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
