4 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

For the first time in over sixty years, Church House Farm, a Grade II listed property, is now available on the market, presenting a unique and exciting opportunity for a new owner in the sought-after village of Little Ness.

The property is brimming with stunning original architectural features, including sash windows, exposed internal beams, a quarry-tiled floor, a hand-turned oak staircase, and an exquisite Edwardian fireplace with matching cabinetry and panelling in the drawing room. The bathroom has also recently undergone an extensive and costly refurbishment.

Unlike a traditional semi-detached home, this property is linked only at the rear via an adjoining barn conversion, ensuring privacy and the feel of a stand-alone home.

Currently accommodating three generations, Church House Farm has been adapted to include kitchens on both the ground and first floors. However, the layout can be easily reconfigured to restore its function as a substantial single-family home in this desirable location.

The ground floor boasts two substantial, versatile reception rooms, both offering far-reaching views over the surrounding fields. The light-filled drawing room, presently used as a ground-floor bedroom, features a decorative Edwardian fireplace, full-height china cabinets, and half-height panelling, creating an elegant space perfect for entertaining. The sitting room, with its exposed beams and stone fireplace, offers a more relaxed and informal atmosphere. Adjacent to this is a large breakfast kitchen fitted with French oak units, a decorative plate rack encircling the room, and the original quarry-tiled floor. The ground floor is completed by a wooden conservatory, a W.C., a utility room, and a boiler room.

Two staircases provide access to the first floor: a formal hand-turned oak staircase in the front hall and a secondary staircase leading from the kitchen. The first floor comprises two spacious double bedrooms (one currently serving as a sitting room) and a secondary kitchen equipped with contemporary units and wood-effect work surfaces. This space could easily be transformed into a luxurious dressing room and en suite bathroom, making it an ideal principal bedroom suite when combined with the large front bedroom.

The family bathroom has been comprehensively refurbished to a high standard, featuring white sanitary ware, twin basins, a freestanding bath, a spacious walk-in shower with complementary stone-finish wall tiling, Karndean flooring, and a built-in dressing table.

On the second floor, there are two additional large double bedrooms with exposed beams and a shower room.

Services: Mains electricity, water, and drainage. Oil-fired central heating.

Grade II Listed

Outside: The private, walled gardens of Church House Farm offer a tranquil rural retreat, with spectacular views across the Shropshire countryside at the front and rising fields leading to the picturesque backdrop of Little Ness Church at the rear. Enclosed by sandstone walls, the gardens are mainly laid to lawn, with a small orchard at the back. Adjacent to the house, near the conservatory, there is a large wooden outbuilding and a courtyard garden, providing an ideal space for al fresco dining and entertaining.

Parking is available at the side of the house, with ample space for multiple vehicles.

Agents note: Vehicle access to the neighbouring barn is available via the driveway.

Location: Church House Farm is located on the edge of the highly regarded North Shropshire village of Little Ness, with convenient access to Shrewsbury and Oswestry. Shrewsbury offers an excellent range of shopping, recreational, and educational facilities and is within easy reach of larger centres such as Chester, Telford, and Birmingham, which provide further amenities.

There are excellent state and private schools nearby, including Packwood Haugh, Adcote School, Ellesmere College, Oswestry School, and Shrewsbury School.

For transportation, there are railway stations in Shrewsbury and Gobowen, offering access to London, while the nearby A5/M54 provides routes to Birmingham, the Midlands, and regional airports in Birmingham and Manchester.
