4 bedroom country house

*Best and final offers are requested by Friday, March 21st* An exceptionally well positioned detached four-bedroom family home located at the end of a private, tree-lined driveway and boasting around 2,000 sq ft of living accommodation alongside approximately 16 acres of land and gardens, peacefully situated amidst open countryside in the hamlet of Brown Heath, near Ellesmere.

Description - Cork Hall is an exceptionally well positioned detached four-bedroom family home which presently provides over 2,000 sq ft of carefully designed living accommodation, located at the end of a private tree-lined driveway and surrounded by the natural splendour of the rolling north Shropshire landscape.

The property nestles within extensive lawned gardens complete with pond, and is accompanied by a detached double garage, timber carport and panoramic views across unspoilt farmland.

Cork Hall is further complemented by an impressive level of permanent pasture land and extends, in all, to around 15.6 acres, or thereabouts, this offering excellent opportunities for the grazing of horses and a variety of livestock.

Situation - Cork Hall is majestically positioned in an unparalleled rural location at the end of a tree-lined private drive, with the popular village of Loppington lying less than a mile to the east and providing a range of day to day amenities, including Church, Village Hall, and the thriving Dicken Arms Public House. The property is also well situated for access to the market towns of Ellesmere and Wem, both of which offer a more comprehensive range of amenities, with the latter enjoying rail links to the wider area. Despite its undisturbed location, the property retains a convenient proximity to the surrounding county centres of Shrewsbury, Wrexham, and Chester, all of which boast an exhaustive level of facilities, including cultural and artistic attractions.

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 Moreton Hall.

The Property - Cork Hall is, at present, an impressive detached family home providing over 2,000 sq ft of carefully designed living accommodation situated over two floors, however, the property may offer possibilities (LA consent permitting) for extension and improvement in order to become a truly magnificent country residence.

Presently, the property provides principal access into an Entrance Hall with exposed ceiling timbers where stairs rise to a first floor land and a door leads to the left into a generously proportioned and yet still welcoming Living Room, which boasts a multi-fuel burner set within an attractive exposed brick inglenook and windows offering dual-aspect views across the surrounding farmland.

The ground floor accommodation further provides an open plan Kitchen/Dining Room complete with a fitted kitchen and ample space for a seating area, with a door allowing access into a Boot Room and Cloakroom; from the Kitchen, and also accessible from the Living Room, double opening doors lead out to an attractive Garden Room which capitalises on the far-reaching views available to the south over the bucolic Shropshire countryside.

Stairs rise from the Entrance Hallway to a first floor landing where doors lead into four separate Bedrooms, all of which enjoy exceptional views over the fields beyond and with the Principal Bedroom accompanied by an En-Suite shower room.

The Gardens - Cork Hall is positioned within generous gardens which encompass the property and culminate, to the west, in a picturesque pond bordered by established trees, with expanses of lawn complemented by a paved patio area which offers excellent opportunities for outdoor dining and entertaining. To the east, a tree-lined private drive leads off a quiet country lane and provides access onto a substantial parking area, this leading further on to a detached double garage (approx. 386 sq ft) with a further timber storage shed to the rear.

The Land - Cork Hall is complemented by an impressive level of permanent pasture land which lies, primarily, to the north and east of the property and offers excellent opportunities for the grazing of a variety of livestock, with potential scope (LA consent permitting) for equestrian development.
