3 bedroom cottage for sale

An attractive Grade II Listed timber framed period home, offering spacious and flexible living accommodation set with large gardens and a superb range of outbuildings.

Directions - From Shrewsbury take the A528 road to Harmer Hill, continue on towards Wem and on the outskirts of Wem after passing the Renault garage turn right before the railway bridge along Shawbury Road, continue on this road and take the 1st turning left in Barkers Green, travel along this lane through a series of bends and turn left immediately after the Merchant Builders Centre into Weir Lane. Follow this road for about half a mile and the property will be seen on the right hand side.

Situation - The property is situated in a delightful rural location set down a 'no-through' lane facing open farmland. Its position, whilst being somewhat secluded, has convenient access to the nearby market town of Wem which offers a good range of shops including supermarket, schools, leisure and social facilities together with rail and bus services. Commuters also find that ready access is available to the county town of Shrewsbury with good road links via the A49 bypass on to the A5 dual carriageway and the M54 Motorway through to Telford.

Description - Pimhill is a Grade II Listed Country Residence with approved barn conversion potential. Dating back over 400 years, this exceptional Grade II Listed detached home is a rare and atmospheric period residence, rich in provenance and architectural integrity. Beautifully preserved and thoughtfully maintained, the property showcases an abundance of original features, including exposed timbers and character detailing throughout.

Set along a peaceful no-through country lane and surrounded by open countryside, the setting offers privacy, tranquillity and an idyllic rural backdrop, yet remains conveniently positioned just a short drive (or an enchanting countryside walk) from the highly regarded market town of Wem.

The main part of the property offers a wonderfully individual layout, seamlessly blending historic charm with refined country living. A welcoming entrance porch leads into a characterful hallway with wood flooring, setting the tone for the accommodation beyond. The elegant sitting room, completed with a log burner, provides a warm and inviting retreat, while a separate snug offers flexibility as a reading room, study or private home office.

The country-style kitchen forms the heart of the home and has a log burning stove, a beautifully social space with doors opening directly onto the garden terrace, creating effortless indoor–outdoor living during the warmer months.

The ground floor also benefits from a generous double bedroom, a well-appointed family bathroom and a separate shower room, offering superb versatility for guests or multi-generational living.

To the first floor are two further bedrooms, including a particularly impressive principal suite with adjoining dressing room (could be converted to a bathroom), providing a sense of seclusion and understated luxury.

Outside - The gardens are both generous and thoughtfully arranged, offering a balance of formal and informal spaces. Expanses of lawn are complemented by a paved terrace, productive vegetable garden and greenhouse. Mature trees and established planting provide structure and privacy, while an attractive pond with rockery creates a picturesque focal point.

Further enhancing the lifestyle appeal are several timber outbuildings, including a summer house, sauna and a substantial shed suited to use as a studio or home office.

This is a truly special heritage home, offering architectural character, rural serenity and exciting future potential in equal measure.

Detached Barn - A significant additional asset is the detached two-storey barn incorporating a garage and carport. The barn benefits from full planning permission to extend above the garage and introduce a balcony, presenting an outstanding opportunity to create secondary accommodation, ideal for guest suites, independent living, or bespoke work-from-home space (subject to any further necessary consents).
