House For Sale £795,000
A classically styled five bedroom detached period property with a converted Coach House providing two additional bedrooms and a potential self contained flat, currently operating as a B&B and offering potential for a number of usages, including residential, situated in a convenient edge of town centre position
Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer Aston Lodge, Soulton Road, Wem, for sale by private treaty.
The internal accommodation, which has been improved and very well maintained by the current vendors, includes, on the ground floor, a Reception Hall, Living Room, Sitting Room, Dining Room, Kitchen/Breakfast Room, Drawing Room, Utility Room, ground floor Shower Room and downstairs Cloakroom together with four first floor Bedrooms with En Suite facilities and a further Bedroom with a separate Shower Room.
The Coach House is fully converted and well presented, including two independently accessed ground floor Bedrooms with Ensuite facilities and a potential self contained first floor flat.
The property has been operating as a successful B & B for a number of years and is ideal for continuation of this usage. However, the property would make a super family home subject to a relatively straightforward application to the Local Authority which the current vendors are happy to implement, if required.
Outside, the property boasts extensive grounds providing ample parking space, a detached double garage and surrounding lawns flanked and interspersed by well stocked floral and herbaceous borders.
The sale of Aston Lodge does, therefore, provide a very rare opportunity for purchasers to acquire a substantial and most attractive period property which provides the possibility of continuing as a successful business or as a super residential property or possibly even both with the house used for residential purposes and the Coach House continuing to be let as holiday let accommodation etc.
Nb. - We have been advised that the B & B bedrooms have the potential to return circa £85 per night and the flat circa £120 per night. In recent years, the current owners have purposefully been running the B & B at a reduced capacity to reduce workload.
Should a buyer be interested in purchasing Aston Lodge with the benefit of the existing furnishings, these are available by separate negotiation.
Situation - Aston Lodge is situated within a short walk of the centre of Wem and the railway station. Wem has an excellent range of local shopping, recreational and educational facilities and the larger centres, also, of Whitchurch (8 miles), Ellesmere (9 miles) and Shrewsbury (10 miles) are within easy motoring distance, all of which have a more comprehensive range of amenities of all kinds.
