Greenfields Farm

The property
Greenfields Farm is a delightful former farmhouse that dates back to the Victorian era, standing centrally within its grounds and enjoying equestrian facilities in a convenient, semi-rural Shropshire location. Offering comfortable and balanced accommodation over two floors, the house has been lovingly cared for and maintained over the decades and provides a superb canvas for further updating.

The house has an easy flow of rooms that lead from the original front door with timber porch. The drawing room overlooks the walled garden and features ornamental arched alcoves and an open cast iron fireplace with beautifully tiled surround. Adjoining is the dining room with open fireplace, useful storage cupboard and staircase to the first floor.

The galley style kitchen with exposed oak beams has a range of base and wall units with space for free standing appliances, separate pantry and side door with access to the garden. Leading from the kitchen is a useful boot/utility room with access onto the forecourt. A bathroom and airing cupboard completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor are three double bedrooms, two with built in wardrobes, enjoy views over the grounds and are served by a spacious shower room.
