House For Sale £330,000
Rotherfield, Shrewsbury SY1


Description
Rare opportunity to buy a house which has been in the family for 30+ years. Great property, well maintained, with a simply delightful garden and great scope for extension. A quiet semi-rural estate yet just a 30-minute walk into the centre of Shrewsbury and views that are incredibly hard to beat.

Located to the north-west of Shrewsbury's historic town centre, this property is located on a quiet, hidden estate where it enjoys a lofty elevated position above the River Severn. It is set at the end of a small cul-de-sac in a cluster of just two houses alongside each other. This means it is not overlooked at the front and the views at the back are simply stunning. Full advantage is taken of the property's elevated position and the vista extends across the valley with the River Severn at the bottom and Haughmond hill in the distance, and nothing but pure Shropshire countryside in between. This does mean that the rear garden slopes downhill, but much of it has been levelled out to create patios and a lawn, with a summer house from which to enjoy the view. Plus there is still scope for more, as the garden further down is awaiting your decision on how best to use it. Level it out to make it more useable, like the neighbours have done? Or leave it as a beautiful wild garden to help the local wildlife? Or maybe you could store your water vessels here?

As well as offering easy access to the River Severn below, a national cycle trail and beautiful countryside walks and fresh air, you can also reach the centre of Shrewsbury on foot in about 30 minutes. If you need to go further afield, you can jump straight onto the inner ring road as well as the A49, A53, A5 and M54 connection routes. This is a much sought-after area with some excellent schools, along with all the amenities you need for modern, well-connected living, including major supermarkets and sports facilities.

The house was built in the early 1990s and has been owned by the vendors from new. Isn't that an indication of what a great house it is! Some houses on the estate have made this design into a 4-bed house by building a second floor extension onto the garage, accessed off the landing at the top of the stairs.

This is a great opportunity to buy a very practical house which has been well maintained and offers great scope for expansion and updating, with bags of parking and an idyllic location with excellent privacy and views, whilst still being walking distance into Shrewsbury. Seriously now, what more could you actually ask for?

To the left of the garage a side gate leads to the rear garden. Step up to a black wooden door inside a porch area to access the main entry to the house.

  • 02 - Hallway

    The area in front of the house is smart, tidy and practical, with a lawned area edged with shrubbery and small fir trees. To the left of the house (viewed from the road) is a large driveway with parking for multiple cars, at the back of which sits a double garage which is attached to the house and accessed through a white up-and-over door in front of a smart block-paved area. To the left of the garage a side gate leads to the rear garden. Step up to a black wooden door inside a porch area to access the main entry to the house.

  • 03 - Living Room

    4.95m x 3.54m (17.5 sqm) - 16' 2" x 11' 7" (188 sqft)

    From the entrance hall we head right into the lounge which is a large, bright room. Opening the double doors to the dining room makes it even bigger and even brighter! A hearth with a gas fire creates a focal point on the far wall and there is bags of space for a 2-seater sofa, two armchairs, bookcases, a desk, coffee tables, TV unit and plenty more besides. The hardwood floor continues from the hallway and sweeps on into the dining room, making the two rooms feel like one space, but can be easily divided back into two as required.

  • 04 - Dining Room

    3.5m x 2.52m (8.8 sqm) - 11' 5" x 8' 3" (94 sqft)

    The dining room also sits at the rear of the house, next to the kitchen and behind the lounge. Double doors to the lounge complete the circular route through the downstairs, helping to make every room feel both accessible and connected. A hardwood floor and sliding patio doors to the rear garden make this a delightful room. It is currently used as more of a second lounge or summer room, but would cater for a 6 seater table and chairs. It would equally make a great play room for a young family, or a study for a home-worker.

  • 05 - Kitchen

    3.5m x 2.83m (9.9 sqm) - 11' 5" x 9' 3" (106 sqft)

    The kitchen is sited at the end of the entrance hall and enjoys the glorious views from the back of the property. Quarry tiles bedeck the floor and are paired with wooden cupboard doors and dark worktops. A 4-ring hob is included with extractor hood, along with an eye-level double oven and grill, a 1½ sink and drainer with a fantastic view. There is space for a slim-line dishwasher, fridge and washing machine.

  • 06 - Rear Lobby

    The kitchen leads into a tiled rear porch which has doors to the garage, the downstairs WC, a storage cupboard and the rear garden. This is an incredibly useful space as you enter from the rear garden, great for muddy boots and paws in winter and flip-flops in summer, and with easy access to the WC from the garden.

  • 07 - WC

    1.63m x 1.49m (2.4 sqm) - 5' 4" x 4' 10" (26 sqft)

    The WC is fully tiled and has a white WC with matching hand basin and window to the rear aspect.

  • 08 - Master Bedroom

    3.56m x 3.54m (12.6 sqm) - 11' 8" x 11' 7" (135 sqft)

    The master bedroom is located at the front of the house and is a large, carpeted double bedroom, with plenty of room for a king-sized bed, bedside cabinets, chests of drawers and a large fitted wardrobe built into the alcove with glass sliding doors. This room is carpeted and enjoys views to the front aspect.

  • 09 - Bedroom 2

    3.54m x 2.75m (9.7 sqm) - 11' 7" x 9' (104 sqft)

    Bedroom 2 is also a good-sized double room. Currently set up as a twin, but with space for a double bed and other bedroom furniture. A single wardrobe is built into the right-hand wall. Light streams in from the wide window overlooking the rear garden and beyond, with a glorious view of the Shropshire countryside and Haughmond Hill in the distance. A very good sized room for a second bedroom, with an outstanding view.

  • 10 - Bedroom 3

    2.38m x 2.33m (5.5 sqm) - 7' 9" x 7' 7" (59 sqft)

    This is a single bedroom which is also carpeted and sits at the front of the house with a window overlooking the front garden. It also has access to a substantial storage area under the eaves of the garage. If not required as a bedroom or nursery, this space would be absolutely perfect as a home office, craft room or gaming room

  • 11 - Bathroom

    2.14m x 1.77m (3.7 sqm) - 7' x 5' 9" (40 sqft)

    The bathroom is located at the top of the stairs, and is very practical with tiled floor and walls, a white WC and hand basin all built into a useful storage cabinet. The bath has been replaced with a much more practical double shower, fully tiled with shelving built into the far end and a double sliding glass door. The window is to the rear aspect with privacy glass

  • 12 - Garage

    5.76m x 2.81m (16.1 sqm) - 18' 10" x 9' 2" (174 sqft)

  • 13 - Rear Garden

    This private garden is really rather special and consists of various levels, all edged with mature shrubbery and foliage. A patio area sits at the top level, making the very most of the superb views. This is a large space ideal for outside dining and entertaining. A handy shed is tucked away to the far side of the property. The patio then leads down to a gravelled area on one side and a lawn with a summer house at one end. Steps to the right lead further down, past more areas with the potential to be levelled and developed, down to a secret garden and finishing with a fence.
