The Property

Located just a short level walk from Church Stretton's quaint town centre, you will find this spacious, detached Edwardian home. Set over three floors, this well maintained property is now offered for sale, having been home to the current owners for over 20 years. During their ownership the property has been extended and vastly improved, making it the wonderful family home it is today. A landscaped, low maintenance front garden greets you upon your arrival and you are welcomed in by the entrance porch, this is the ideal place to kick off your muddy boots if you've been hiking over the glorious surround hills. The entrance hall boasts an intricate mosaic tiled floor which gives you an immediate sense of the character you will find through out. To your right is the first of the reception rooms, a light and airy space with a coal effect gas fire and a bay window enjoying views to the Long Mynd. The next stop on the tour is a real highlight, the breakfast kitchen. Fitted with a high quality kitchen with soft close cupboards and drawers and clever storage spaces, this is a chefs paradise. The Siemens electric oven, the 5 ring gas hob, the dishwasher, the vast working space and central island all make up this super modern kitchen, while as an added bonus you've also got a good old fashioned pantry. The highlights don't stop there however, off the kitchen you will find the lounge/diner. This is a fantastic family room and somewhere you're sure to host many special occasions. With ample room for a good sized dining table and chairs with lots of space remaining for a three piece suite and additional furniture, no one will be left without somewhere to sit, two sets of French doors look out to the fabulous garden while the Clearview multi fuel stove and high vaulted ceiling give a lovely touch of character. Leading from the dining area is the garden room, with space for yet more seating, this is a lovely vantage point from which to enjoy the garden. Also on the ground floor you will find a wet room, which is complete with a shower, wc and wash basin. As well as a large garage with electric roller door and ramped access and a useful home office complete with telephone and broadband point.

On the remaining two floors you will find four bedrooms, the bedroom on the top floor has the benefit of eaves storage while enjoying possibly the best view of the house. The remaining three bedrooms are on the first floor, with the master having of the luxury of fitted wardrobes and drawers. Completing the accommodation is the bathroom, smartly fitted with a fresh white suite comprising a panelled bath with shower over, a wc and wash basin inset in a vanity unit and a stylish tiled finish.

To conclude our tour of this wonderful home we'll head back outside. As previously mentioned, the front garden has been landscaped for ease of maintenance, while giving the property what we call in the business 'kerb appeal'. To the front there is also a taramac driveway offering valuable off road parking, and to the side you will find a log store. The rear garden is a great size, the green fingered among you will find plenty to keep you interested, while the rest of you can just sit back and enjoy the views. The garden is best described in three sections, adjacent to the house is a paved patio which is perfect for barbecue season and can be accessed from the lounge, garden room and office. From here steps lead up to the lawn, Summer House with paved seating area and the pretty pond with complementing water feature. At the top of the garden is a productive vegetable patch with raised beds, fruit trees and bushes and green house. All three areas are tied together by beautifully planted and outrageously colourful beds and borders. This colourful oasis is a fitting end to our tour and the cherry on top of this unique and tantalising cake.

The Location

Set against the scenic backdrop of the Shropshire Hills, Church Stretton is small market town with a population of around 3500. The town is also fondly referred to as 'Little Switzerland', you will understand exactly why from the second you start to get closer as you drive down the A49 into Church Stretton. Day or night you will be mesmerized by the beauty of the South Shropshire hillside as it gradually appears with its ominous splendour. If it is night time the twinkle of little houses nestled in the hills, with billowing smoke from the chimneys, will have you curious with whom might be living there and make you wish you were sitting next to the open fire looking out over the hillside. If it is during the day, you may catch sight of some hardy hikers scaling the top of Caradoc, The Ragleth, or the Longmynd, or perhaps a daring mountain biker will be catapulting down the fast array of mountain bike routes that makes this part of the world so desirable for bikers and hikers alike.

Perhaps this is all a little too energetic for you? Maybe if we come down from the hills you can have a leisurely stroll through the beautiful Rectory woods, and enjoy the stunning bluebells which have been photographed time and time again in all their glory creating magical pieces of art. All of which can be bought as a memorable keepsake in the form of postcards, greetings cards, pictures and photos from the National Trust shop, or in some of the shops in the town centre. Boasting many award winning coffee shops, quintessentially English tea rooms, cafes, restaurants, bars and public houses. Quaint little shops selling anything from brick-a-brac, to flowers, sweets, handmade chocolates, ice cream, vintage clothing, gifts, jewellery and so much more.
