... - The gardens are a major feature of the property and have been attractively landscaped to include an extensive paved and gravelled terrace, making a lovely setting for outside dining/BBQ's entertaining etc which lead on to lawns divided by the formal front drive which gives access on to the quiet country lane.
.... - The sale of Moss Lane Farmhouse provides an unusual opportunity to purchase a superbly appointed detached country house with lovely surrounding gardens, Garage and Outbuilding.

The county towns of Shrewsbury (15 miles) and Chester (27 miles) are both also within an easy drive and both have a more comprehensive range of amenities of all kinds.
