THE CEDARS

WATLING STREET NORTH

SY6 7AR

The Cedars is a deceptively spacious semi detached Edwardian period house with accommodation extending to three floors.

The property has been well maintained and the present owner has modernised areas of the house, including a large open plan kitchen and dining room. Traditionally constructed of brick with part rendered elevations under a tiled roof. It was originally a large detached house, which was then divided into two around the 1950s.

The Cedars is the larger proportion and benefits from gas fired central heating and UPVC doubleglazing.

In brief it comprises of an entrance porch, cloaks/WC, reception hall, sitting room, spacious kitchen/dining room, cellar, large landing, three first floor bedrooms, one having an en-suite shower room, a family bathroom, and two further bedrooms on the second floor with a large bath/shower room.

The gardens are a special feature with double wrought iron entrance gates, ample tarmac parking areas, large garage, lawns, satellite dish, veranda, and patio area, established floral beds, a variety of trees, and a useful shepherds hut with a log burner power and lighting-an ideal study or workshop.

Watling Street North is located on the eastern side of the Stretton Valley and is a popular residential area which leads to a small country lane leading to the Caer Caradoc Hill and open countryside.

The Cedars has delightful established gardens that extend to around a third of an acre and enjoy views of the Ragleth Hill and surrounding area. It is within easy walking distance of the town centre amenities.
