House For Sale £220,000
Located just a few minutes' walk from the centre of the market town of Wem, north of Shrewsbury, on the edge of the glorious Shropshire countryside, this 3-4 bedroom home is an absolute dream find for someone looking to upsize, but without a huge budget. It is only just over 10 years old, has had one careful owner and occupies an enviable corner plot in a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of the bustling market town of Wem, with all its local amenities, well-respected primary and secondary schools, local transport links, social networks and a thriving sense of community. This is the kind of town that still has an annual carnival and a host of other community events. From Wem train station you can take a short trip west into the centre of Shrewsbury, or east to Crewe and then on to Manchester Piccadilly.
As for the house itself, it is a well-planned design which makes maximum use of the space, so you get an awful lot of house for your money. The owners have maintained it beautifully from new and are bringing it to the market decorated to a high standard and in 'move-in' condition. It offers not just off-street parking for 2 cars, but also a garage as well.
The main thing about this house is all the space and the versatile layout. The dining room has potential to be used as a 4th bedroom if needed, or a play room, or even be combined with the kitchen to make one huge family living space, which would then free up the large room on the first floor that is currently used as a lounge. There is even a separate utility room, with access through the back door for muddy feet, and space in the kitchen for a large American-style fridge-freezer or dining table.
The outside space is a story of two halves, both of which are low-maintenance, with a fully enclosed lawned area at the rear for the children to play in, while the adults get to relax and/or entertain in the gravelled courtyard at the side of the house. This is a lovely little secret suntrap, secluded by the garage wall and just crying out for barbecues and soirées. You'll be the envy of all your friends and family with this delightful spot, tucked away, yet within walking distance of the town centre.
In brief - this property comprises:
Entrance hallway, kitchen-diner, utility room, dining room/bedroom 4, downstairs WC, living room, master bedroom with en suite, 2 further double bedrooms, family bathroom, private rear garden, side courtyard, detached garage and off-street parking for 2 cars.

This property includes:
- Front Garden
This is a very smart-looking property, set back slightly from the road and with a driveway to the right-hand side, providing off-road parking for 2 cars, plus a garage. A low-maintenance gravelled area containing shrubbery and a small lawned area separate the house from the drive. A paved path leads from the driveway to the grey front door with a lamp to the side. A gate between the garage and house provides access to the courtyard and rear garden. - Entrance Hall
The front door leads into a hallway. The flooring is a practical and attractive wood-effect laminate and doors provide access to the dining room, kitchen, utility room and the downstairs WC. This is altogether a practical space for hanging coats etc. Carpeted stairs provide access to the first floor and a window to the side aspect gives light. A useful storage cupboard is built-in under the stairs. - Kitchen / Dining Room
3.74m x 2.71m (10.1 sqm) - 12' 3" x 8' 10" (109 sqft)
The kitchen is fitted with wall and floor cupboards with cream doors, topped with wood-effect surfaces. White tiles stretch part-way up the wall. The 1½ sink and drainer overlook the rear garden. The 4-ring Neff gas hob, oven and grill are built-in with a matching stainless steel splashback and extractor hood above. Space is provided for a dishwasher and also for a large, American-style fridge-freezer or a dining table. The kitchen is well-stocked with storage and preparation surfaces and is nicely decorated. An opening on the right leads to the utility room. - Utility Room

The utility room can be accessed off the kitchen and contains matching cupboard doors and work surfaces, and another stainless steel sink and drainer. Space and plumbing are provided for a washing machine and a tumble dryer, along with plenty of additional storage. A door to the right leads back to the hallway, while an external door to the left leads straight out to the rear garden, giving you direct access from the washing machine to the clothesline. - Downstairs Cloakroom
Handily placed, so there is a toilet on every floor, the downstairs WC is heated and has the same wood-effect flooring as the hall. A window to the side aspect with privacy glass provides natural light. A tiled splashback sits behind the white corner hand basin and a matching white WC. - Dining Room
9.96m x 2.71m (26.9 sqm) - 32' 8" x 8' 10" (290 sqft)
Dining Room / Bedroom 4 - This room is actually a very flexible extra. It is a lovely bright room with a window to the front aspect. If you wouldn't use a separate dining room, then this would make an excellent 4th double bedroom or a playroom as it is currently used. A study, craft or gaming room are other options, or there is even scope to make the downstairs one big, open-plan family room for cooking, dining and living. Whatever works for you! - Landing
The stairs lead off the living room and have a lovely thick-pile carpet that continues onto the first-floor landing and bedrooms. The stairs curve elegantly at the top where you pop out onto a light-filled landing that has a large window to the front aspect. Doors lead off the landing to the master bedroom and the first-floor living room. - Lounge
4.76m x 3.74m (17.8 sqm) - 15' 7" x 12' 3" (192 sqft)
Although the living room is on the first floor, this really does make the most of this floor plan of this family and creates a lovely big lounge that stretches across the full width of the house. Two windows overlooking the rear garden make this a beautifully lightroom. It currently houses a huge corner sofa, armchair, TV unit, blanket box, coffee tables, and the vendor has even made a study corner with a computer table and bookcase. Again, this layout is versatile, so you can use the rooms in the best way that suits you and your family. - Master Bedroom
3.4m x 2.71m (9.2 sqm) - 11' 1" x 8' 10" (99 sqft)
The master bedroom is located at the front of the house on the first floor, next to the current living room. It is a good-sized double with space for a double bed, bedside cabinets, a three-door wardrobe and a chest of drawers. The large window overlooks the front of the property and the floor is carpeted. A door leads into the en suite bathroom. - Ensuite Shower Room
2.71m x 1.18m (3.1 sqm) - 8' 10" x 3' 10" (34 sqft)
With part-tiled walls, a matching white suite of WC and sink, and a double shower with a sliding glass screen door - Landing
The carpet continues its flow up this second set of stairs and yet another window to the side aspect maintains the bright and airy feel to this house on every floor. Doors lead off the landing into bedrooms 2 and 3, the airing cupboard and the family bathroom. - Bedroom 2
3.86m x 2.86m (11 sqm) - 12' 7" x 9' 4" (118 sqft)
Bedroom 2 is located at the front of the house and is an L-shaped double room, although it is currently set up as a single. It features space for a wardrobe in the eaves, a window to the front aspect and a carpet that matches the rest of the house. - Bedroom 3
3.52m x 2.98m (10.4 sqm) - 11' 6" x 9' 9" (112 sqft)
Bedroom 3 is located at the rear of the house, next to the bathroom and also features the curved ceiling of the eaves. A nicely decorated double room, currently housing bunk beds, a wardrobe, bookshelves and a desk and chair. These rooms make excellent children's rooms. A window to the rear aspect above a radiator gives views of the garden. - Family Bathroom
1.84m x 1.79m (3.2 sqm) - 6' x 5' 10" (35 sqft)
The family bathroom is light and modern with a frosted window to the side aspect. The WC, bath and hand basin are white and stylish white tiles adorn the walls part-way up from the floor. The flooring is wood-effect which nicely off-sets the white suite. - Garage (Single)
5.66m x 3.04m (17.2 sqm) - 18' 6" x 9' 11" (185 sqft)
Single garage, detached from the house with an up-and-over door to the front, located at the end of the drive. An excellent space for outside storage if your cars are happy on the drive. - Rear Garden
The rear garden is accessed from the utility room or from the front of the property via the side gate. A gravelled area currently houses a play shed and a patio catches the sun next to the house and makes a great entertainment area with plenty of space for a BBQ, garden furniture or even a hot tub. The patio and lawn are edged with fruit trees and are fenced, making the back garden almost as low-maintenance as the front. - Courtyard
Well, this is an unexpected bonus! The property occupies a corner plot and managed to bag the extra outside space this provides. This lovely triangular suntrap leads around the side of the house from the front drive to the back garden and is not overlooked in the slightest. It is gravelled, with a paved path running alongside the house. Flower beds run around the rear edges and the garage wall makes an excellent background for a trellis or two to become a feature wall. This is a delightful place to while away your leisure time or host your guests.
Please note, all dimensions are approximate / maximums and should not be relied upon for the purposes of floor coverings.
