Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer Oak Villa in Bagley, near Ellesmere, for sale by private treaty.

Oak Villa is a semi-detached three-bedroom country cottage which has, over the years, been extended to now provide over 1,200 sq ft of sympathetically presented living accommodation complete with a range of period features. On the ground floor, two versatile reception rooms are joined by a kitchen with adjoining shower room and utility room, these complemented by three first floor bedrooms, the principal of which boasts an en-suite and dressing area.

Oak Villa is situated within land and gardens which extend, in all, to around 1.09ac, or thereabouts. The gardens enjoy a broadly southerly aspect and offer a view across open farmland, whilst comprising expanses of lawn, mature hedging, established floral beds, and attractive seating areas. The land has most recently been utilised in connection with the vendor's machinery business and, as such, features useful areas of hardcore but could serve a variety of onward usages, be that as simply large gardens or for equestrian or hobby farming.

Situation - Oak Villa is situated in the midst of rolling countryside and open farmland on the perimeter of the rural hamlet of Bagley, which lies roughly equidistant between the popular village of Baschurch and the lakeland town of Ellesmere, both of which provide a respectable range of day to day amenities, including Schools, Supermarket, Medial Facilities, Public Houses, Restaurants, and independent shops, whilst retaining a convenient proximity to the larger town of Oswestry to the west and Shrewsbury to the south, the latter being the county centre with a range of cultural and artistic attractions.

Directions - Leave Ellesmere via Birch Road in the direction of Tetchill, turning left onto a country lane shortly after crossing the canal bridge. Continue on this lane, passing through the hamlet of Lee, until reaching a T junction in Lower Hordley; here, turn left and continue for around 0.6 miles where, shortly after passing ABP, the property will be situated immediately on the right.

The Property - The property is principally accessed via a door which opens into a traditionally styled kitchen featuring an array of fitted base and wall units lit by dual aspect windows, these centred around a planned space for a breakfast or dining table. Turning right from the kitchen, on enters a useful utility room with a window overlooking the side elevation, this then leading through to a well appointed shower room featuring a shower cubicle, hand basin, and WC.

Turning left from the kitchen, the property flows through to two versatile reception rooms, these currently utilised as a living room and dining room respectively, with the latter comprising stairs which rise to the first floor, a window overlooking the rear gardens, and a door which exits into the same. The living room boasts two windows onto the rear alongside ample space for seating positioned before an exposed brickwork fire-surround housing an electric "log burner" style heater.

Stairs rise from the dining room to a first floor landing where doors provide access into three comfortably sized bedrooms, each benefiting from windows which offer elevated views across the rear gardens and the countryside beyond. The principle bedroom has the additional advantage of an adjoining en-suite bathroom and a separate dressing area containing integrated storage cupboards.

Outside - The property is accessed via secure double-width gates which lead on to a parking area ideal for both vehicles and machinery, this flanked to one side by attractive and well kept gardens which enjoy a desirable southerly aspect and comprise expanses of lawn complemented by lovely seating areas, well-stocked floral beds, mature trees, and established hedging.

Land - The property nestles within land and gardens which extend, in all, to around 1.09ac, or thereabouts, with the land lying to the south of the gardens. Most recently the land has been utilised in connection to the vendor's machinery business, being predominately in grass but with a useful hardcore track ideal for manoeuvring and storage.
