4 bedroom house

An imposing and beautifully presented detached Victorian country residence with substantial accommodation, attached garaging, extensive landscaped gardens including a small amenity paddock, whilst being in a lovely position on the outskirts of the hamlet with stunning farmland views. In all approximately 1.92 acres.

Directions - From Shrewsbury, proceed east along the B5062 Newport road through Roden to High Ercall and at the junction turn left (B5063) and after about half a mile, on reaching the hamlet of Walton, the property's gated entrance will be seen first on the left.

Situation - The property sits proudly on the edge of the small hamlet of Walton, adjoining open farmland with stunning uninterrupted views to the south and west. The Hamlet itself sits between the villages of Shawbury and High Ercall and latterly this includes a shop, primary school and tennis club. There is a good selection of private and secondary schooling in the area, particularly in Shrewsbury, which also offers an excellent shopping centre, international cuisine and a rail service.

The rail network provides alternative stations at Wellington or Telford with trains to Birmingham and London Euston. Regional airports include Birmingham, East Midlands, Manchester and Liverpool.

Commuters have excellent access to a number of commercial centres. In addition to Shrewsbury, there is Telford and Wolverhampton, with a road network linking further afield to the M6/Birmingham, The Potteries and Manchester.

Description - Walton Manor offers a seldom opportunity in the current market to acquire such a handsome and substantial detached Victorian former farmhouse, which has been the family home for the current owners over the last 24 years. The property sits particularly well with the main electric gated entrance opening onto a fine sweeping driveway which leads to the car parking, courtyard and garaging.

The house itself offers traditional period architecture with many tall windows allowing natural light to flow through its spaciously proportioned and versatile accommodation (approx 5,103 sq ft including garage block). The interior boasts wonderful features, particularly to the ground floor, including many cornice ceilings and roses, stunning period fireplaces to the dining room and drawing room, the majority of the internal doors are of stripped pine, whilst the staircase sets off the elegant reception hall and first floor landing. The farmhouse style breakfast kitchen is comprehensively fitted with quality oak units, granite work surfaces and a selection of appliances including a 4-oven Aga cooker. The adjoining conservatory offers relaxing living with a lovely outlook over its own gardens and farmland beyond. On the first floor the principal bedroom has a dressing area, together with a good size en-suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are then served by the main combined bath and shower room. There is in addition a separate shower room and WC. An intriguing area to the house leads off bedroom 4 via a communication door to bedroom 5, which is believed to be the former servants' quarters and includes an old bathroom. This area in particular will require refurbishment. The house as a whole is beautifully presented, whilst there is some scope for modernisation/improvement, which would no doubt allow prospective purchasers to incorporate their own tastes and requirements.

Outside the wonderful flowing gardens with extensive lawns sweep across the front and down the side to the rear with alfresco terracing, a kitchen garden and a very useful amenity paddock. The whole extends to APPROXIMATELY 1.9 2 ACRES.
