House For Sale £575,000
The property
Wilberry Cottage is an architecturally interesting property. Behind the period red brick façade the property has been reconfigured and developed under the supervision of an architect. This has resulted in the creation of a spacious home offering light and versatile accommodation complemented with a clever and sensitive juxtaposition of period and contemporary features.
There are two entrances to the front both with inner vestibules. The main entrance is to the side and opens to the kitchen. Cleverly designed in two parts the kitchen is at the centre of the house. Fitted with white contemporary handless units under quartz worktops there are distinct cooking and drinks areas defined by the hob, peninsula unit and the cabinetry by the fridge. To the rear is a superb ‘L’ shaped space with underfloor heating and bifold doors opening to the terrace and embracing the views to the garden throughout the season. Currently utilised as a study, dining and drawing room the options are endless. The drawing room area features a log burner adding a different dimension during the winter months. To the front the exposed beams of the original cottage remain. A hand crafted contemporary oak staircase is to the centre creating a charming division. To one side is a library with the second door to the front and to the other is the family room with inset feature fireplace. A utility room with W.C. and basin completes the ground floor accommodation.
To the first floor are three double bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite features a large
bedroom facing the front with two windows. Steps up lead to the dressing room and ensuite bathroom. The dressing room has been fitted with full height wardrobes offering superb storage. The contemporary ensuite bathroom is fitted in white with large bath overlooking the garden and separate shower cubicle as well as a feature glass sink. A shower room, with contemporary fittings, completes the first floor.
Agents Notice: The glass splashback in the kitchen and fridge are excluded from the sale.
Outside
An outstanding feature of Wilberry Cottage are the front and rear gardens. These have been professionally landscaped and carefully maintained. The front is cottage in style with climbing roses, specimen silver birch trees and a gravelled parking area. With a south west aspect the rear garden is a horticultural oasis with deep curvaceous borders planted with grasses, annuals and perennials including lavender, bamboo, ferns, iris, peony and roses. It is enclosed by an attractive and very private backdrop of a cedar, liquidamber and eucalyptus. The main terrace is partly sunken and leads from the bifold doors at the rear of the house. There are various alfresco areas at different levels maximising the sun throughout the day. To the rear is a productive vegetable garden with greenhouse and garden shed.
Location

South of Shrewsbury Bayston Hill is a thriving village with a range of amenities including shops, doctors’ surgery, public houses and library.
