5 bedroom house

The property
Cambrian House is a charming south facing Victorian villa standing in well stocked gardens, with its original Coach House and a range of versatile outbuildings. The property is further complemented by paddocks and in all extends to about 4.5 acres.

Cambrian House is a much loved family home which offers light, attractive and beautifully presented accommodation. Owned by a conservation architect specialising in historic buildings, it has been sympathetically restored and extended while retaining much of its period detail.

The front door with its original stained glass insets opens to the central hallway with its parquet floor. The recently fitted kitchen with DeVol cabinets and energy efficient electric AGA has been extended with a glazed gable end and link to the adjoining walk-in pantry/laundry. To the other side it has been opened up to include the charming sitting room with its open fireplace and deep sash window. Across the hall two former reception rooms have been combined to create an elegant dining and drawing room with a fireplace housing a Clearview wood burner. Beyond is a cosy sitting
room with Clearview stove, adjoining utility room and hallway with a staircase leading up to a double bedroom and bathroom. With its separate access, this area could be used as annexe accommodation if required.

From the hall, a pitch pine staircase leads up to a central landing off which are the four principal bedrooms, all of which have original fireplaces and enjoy stunning views. One has an en suite shower room, while the others are served by a family bathroom with shower.

The house offers flexible accommodation with the potential to create a separate annexe and being situated on the Offa’s Dyke footpath, it would be ideal as a holiday let/Airbnb opportunity. The Coach House also has the potential for conversion subject to the necessary planning permission being obtained.

Location
Cambrian House is situated in Shropshire within the rural hamlet of Nantmawr, below the famous Offa’s Dyke footpath which extends along the English/Welsh border and has access to superb walking, riding and cycling. Nearby Trefonen is noted for its highly regarded primary school, pub, Church, village hall and playing fields; whilst the pretty market town of Oswestry is four miles away with a range of supermarkets, bespoke shops, and other local amenities.

The area is noted for its highly regarded schools, both within the state and private sectors, including Trefonen Primary School, Llanfyllin School, The Marches Secondary, Oswestry School, Moreton Hall, Ellesmere College and a number of highly regarded schools and colleges in Shrewsbury. The house is well placed for commuting to Chester, Wrexham and Shrewsbury. Regional airports can be found in Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester.

Outside
The house is approached off a quiet lane with its driveway drawing up through a five bar gate to a large gravel sweep to the rear of the house with ample parking for a number of vehicles. To one side is the former Coach House with stables, workshop and above a spacious well set up office space with a W.C and wood burning stove. Further outbuildings include a large barn used as a games room and an adjoining garden store.

The wisteria clad house has a formal lawned garden to the front and to the rear a topiary garden, paved terraces for al fresco dining, a productive kitchen garden and seating areas to catch the sun at all times of the day. It is beautifully stocked to provide all year round colour and interest. Above is the orchard and paddocks ideal for all year grazing. At present the land is grazed by sheep managed by the Shropshire Wildlife Trust who have worked with our client to enhance its superb flora and fauna.
