4 bedroom house

Lady Oak Villa is an exceptional, rural property which occupies a stunning position in the heart of the Shropshire Hills which is an area of outstanding natural beauty.

General Remarks - The beautifully appointed, detached house was built in 2006 on the site of the original cottage and was constructed with a super-insulated timber frame with mellow brick facing and a traditional tile roof. It was designed to provide comfortable, well proportioned living accommodation and the position takes advantage of the spectacular country views from every direction but particularly West to the Welsh borders, North along the Rea Valley to Shrewsbury and East up to the Stiperstones and the Devils Chair.

Its setting combined with the grounds, which extend to around 1.59 acres, and the associated outbuildings, double garage and summer house, must make this one of the most desirable properties currently available and is well worth a closer look to truly appreciate all its qualities.

The House - The detached house is a very contemporary build, yet it has a real country feel to it and its tasteful decor and finish with well proportioned rooms, deliver a perfect family home. Natural light floods into all the rooms and there is a beautiful flow to the living accommodation. It is well served by a comfortable living room with its wood burning stove and a cottage style kitchen/breakfast room, both having french doors out onto the stone terrace. The ground floor is completed with a study/office, utility, separate WC and hallway. To the first floor, the main bedroom commands the best views but all 4 bedrooms have delightful aspects together with an en-suite and family bathroom and gallery style landing.

The Grounds - These are particularly well laid out and offer great views of the surrounding areas from all angles. In all, the property extends to around 1.59 acres and whilst currently laid to large open lawned spaces, it could be fenced to provide pony paddocks if required. Close to the house are stone paved terraces and gravelled drives and paths together with a brick lined well. The property also has a number of outbuildings which include two exceptional timber summer houses with a covered verandah and screened patio, ideal for entertaining, a detached double garage with first floor home office and a detached former cow house with workshop.

Situation - The property occupies a splendid, elevated position in a quiet country setting, commanding excellent views over the Rea Valley towards Shrewsbury and up to the Stiperstones, a mecca for walkers and cyclists. The village of Minsterley is just a few miles away, providing essential services, whilst the cosmopolitan town of Shrewsbury is within easy driving distance and offers a comprehensive range of services and access to the national road and rail network.

Directions - From Shrewsbury, proceed South on the A488 through Pontesbury and Minsterley villages and at Plox Green by the bus shelter, turn right into Drury Lane and signed Bentlawnt and Hopesgate. Continue on this lane for about ½ a mile and the property is on the right with a painting of a cow on the side of the building.
