House For Sale £750,000
Park Farm is a delightful traditional North Shropshire farmhouse. A much-loved family home, the property retains period detail while offering comfortable, well-presented accommodation. It stands in an elevated position with superb, far-reaching views, large gardens with a garage, workshop and stable . The house is sold with the option to purchase up to 10.64 acres of land, available by separate negotiation.
The front door opens to the central hallway off which lead the two principal reception rooms. The drawing room has a parquet floor and a substantial inglenook fireplace housing a Clearview woodburner and exposed oak beams and studwork from the original 16th century oak frame. Opposite is the dining room with exposed beams, a cast iron fireplace and a door accessing the side courtyard. To the rear of the house is the sitting room with an inglenook also housing a woodburner, breakfast room with an aga range and traditional style kitchen with a north facing larder beyond. A back hall with utility room, cloakroom/WC and shower room completes the downstairs accommodation.
Stairs rise to a landing off which are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. To the end of the corridor is the principal bedroom with double aspect and an en suite bathroom
with large linen cupboard. All bedrooms enjoy far-reaching views.
Gardens and grounds
Park Farm is approached to the front by double five bar gates to a wide gravel parking area. A further gate opens to the back drive which leads round to the back of the house and to the modern two bay garage with a stable and workshop with electricity and water connected.
The house stands in a large fenced (and dog proofed) garden of about 0.81 acres. There are formal stocked borders and rose beds close to the house along with a productive kitchen garden with raspberry canes, asparagus bed and fruit trees. To one side is a sweeping lawn, ideal for sports activities or potentially a small paddock.
