Ivy Lodge, Weston-under-Redcastle, Shropshire, SY4

Location

Ivy Lodge is situated on the edge of the village of Weston-under-Redcastle in north Shropshire, occupying a unique position adjacent to the 6th hole of Hawkstone Park Golf Club. The golf course is one of the most highly regarded in the region, offering two 18-hole championship courses set within historic and mature parkland.

Nearby is Hawkstone Hall & Gardens, a distinguished Grade I listed country estate now operating as one of Shropshire’s most exclusive hotel and wedding venues. The Hawkstone Follies, a historic parkland attraction with dramatic walks and scenery, is also within close proximity.

The village of Hodnet, just 2.5 miles away, offers local amenities including the award-winning Bear Inn, a well-known country pub and restaurant. The market towns of Shrewsbury, Market Drayton and Whitchurch are all easily accessible, offering a broad range of services, independent retailers, and schooling options.

Road communications are excellent, with easy access to the A49 and A53 for travel towards Shrewsbury, Telford, Chester, Birmingham and the wider motorway network.

The Property

Believed to have once formed part of the historic Hawkstone Estate, Ivy Lodge is a handsome, semi-detached period residence positioned in a highly private setting with views onto the golf course.

This characterful home retains a wealth of original features, including exposed ceiling timbers, stone mullioned windows with leaded stained glass, herringbone flooring and open fireplaces. The architecture reflects the property's 19th-century origins, while modern improvements have been carried out in a sympathetic style.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors and includes a spacious reception hall leading to a dual-aspect sitting room, complete with open stone fireplace and prominent oriel window. The formal dining room features a beamed ceiling and a cast iron log burner set within a brick inglenook surround.

The bespoke kitchen is fitted with an oil-fired Aga, granite work surfaces, Belfast sink, built-in appliances and a central island. An adjoining Victorian-style orangery, with underfloor heating and glass-panelled roof, provides an additional reception space with access to the garden.

A lower ground floor room with natural light offers flexible use as a study, studio or fifth bedroom.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from dual-aspect windows and an en suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a generous family bathroom with a walk-in double shower.

Outside

The property is approached via a private, gated lane forming part of Weston Drive, which originally served the Hawkstone Estate. A gravel driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles and access to a detached double garage, complete with electric doors and a first-floor studio/office with Velux and porthole windows overlooking the golf course.

The gardens are mature and well maintained, featuring lawned areas, established planting and specimen shrubs. A notable tree carving adds a sculptural feature to the grounds, and the setting offers a high degree of privacy, with no immediate neighbouring properties visible from the principal elevations.
