Detached house for sale in Shrewsbury SY4, 7 Bedroom

The Property
Yeaton Hall is an outstanding wisteria clad Georgian country house with a stunning outlook over parkland and unspoilt countryside beyond. The Grade II listed property stands in the privacy of well-maintained gardens and grounds with two cottages, a traditional cobbled courtyard and a range of versatile outbuildings.

The house is beautifully presented throughout with the front door opening to the hall from where a graceful staircase rises to the first floor. The elegant and light drawing room with its classical fireplace, is lit through deep sash windows and extends into a bow with curved French windows opening to the south facing terrace. The comfortable sitting room has a fireplace with a Clearview wood burning stove and door opening to an inner hallway off which is the garden room which extends across the front of the south facing façade of the house and provides a wonderful sitting and dining area.

The traditional bespoke fitted kitchen has a four door gas fired aga, along with fitted fridge, freezer and other appliances. It extends into an attractive breakfast room from where there is a connecting door to the formal dining room. This was once the butlers hall and has retained the servant bells and the original fire surround. A back hall, utility room and spacious cellar concludes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs there is a galleried landing off which leads the supremely gracious master bedroom with the original marble fireplace, fitted cupboards, deep windows and adjoining dressing room and shower room, (also plumbed for a bath if required). Two further double bedrooms, one with en suite shower room, are served by a large family bathroom with Jacuzzi bath.

The back staircase leads back down to the kitchen or up to the second floor where there are four further bedrooms, the main three of which have deep sash windows framing the far reaching views to the south and are served by a Jack and Jill bathroom with a slipper bath. A further room is presently utilised as an office.
