Situation: Upper House is located in a desirable location on the edge of the charming village of Longnor, close to the Lawley Hill with open panoramic views across unspoilt countryside. Longnor’s proximity to the Long Mynd, part of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers fantastic opportunities for walking, golfing, cycling and riding.
Longnor boasts an active community centred on the village’s OFSTED “outstanding” rated primary school, church and village hall. A short drive away is the village of Dorrington which provides a selection of amenities including restaurants, shops, a post office, butchers and a medical centre.
The historic county town of Shrewsbury is approximately a 20 minute drive away and offers an excellent range of shopping, leisure and social facilities including the Theatre Severn and the popular Quarry Park. A number of highly regarded private and state schools can also be found within Shrewsbury and the surrounding area.
Transport links within the area are good with the A49 linking to the A5 north via Oswestry towards Chester and east via the A5 / M54 to Telford, Wolverhampton and Birmingham. Church Stretton is on the main Manchester to Cardiff railway line. Regional international airports are at Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham.
Upper House is a charming country house thought to date from around 1780. Providing spacious and light accommodation, the house retains considerable period charm including beams and exposed timbers.
The ground floor accommodation consists of a boot / utility room, a WC, an open-plan kitchen / breakfast room which boasts an Aga, a dining room, living room with log burner and a sitting room. Both the living room and dining room feature parquet flooring. On the first floor there are four good sized double bedrooms, including two en suites; one with a master suite dressing room, and a family bathroom with roll top bath.
The gardens are mainly lawned and include some raised vegetable beds allowing the potential purchaser to cultivate the ‘Good Life’. There is also a large south-facing terraced area for entertaining and a conservatory. In addition to the main house, there is a double garage, two paddocks and two stables.
The overall package is a rare opportunity, set in an idyllic position in one of Shropshire’s most sought after areas, and surrounded by countryside designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
