The property
Rock Farm is a stunning former farmhouse with inspiring and majestic views across Shropshire and Wales. The property benefits from planning permission for an extended kitchen and garden room enhancing the interior accommodation. Rock Farm oozes historical details including exposed beams, cast iron Georgian fireplaces, panel doors and wonderful multi pained sash windows. These original details have been restored to create a substantial family home of poise and elegance, whilst retaining a friendly feel.
The wide panelled Georgian front door opens to an elegant hallway with stairs rising upwards. Original doors radiate off the square family sitting room that is part panelled and has newly laid parquet flooring, useful cabinetry and a decorative fireplace. The drawing room has a deep brick lined inglenook fireplace with feature beam and cast iron log burner. To the rear of the house is the full width kitchen breakfast room which is the heart of this family house. This has been expertly designed and fitted by Neptune, with hand painted shaker style units under granite work surfaces. The central islands have curved units and space for bar stools. Above the sink is a window to the side and to the dining area are French doors opening to the terrace. A utility room and cloakroom with W.C. completes the ground floor accommodation.
A superb Georgian staircase with hand turned spindles and a mahogany handrail winds up to the first and second floors. On the first floor are three large double bedrooms. To the rear the large double bedroom has a walk in dressing room and en suite shower room. The family bathroom has been refitted offering a luxurious space with free standing bath and a walk in shower area complemented by both panelling and contrasting tiling.
On the second floor are two further double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, one with an en suite shower room and the spectacular principal bedroom suite. With large dressing room and en suite shower room, this majestic space is a haven away from the bustle of family life.
Agents note: Planning permission has been granted for a rear single store extension which would create an exceptional kitchen/living/dining room with garden views. Planning ref: 17/01384/FUL | Erection of rear extension to following removal of existing rear lean-to extension and erection of double garage.
Outside
The outbuildings at Rock Farm offer an exciting project for a new owner. The barn could be utilised for a variety of uses including storage, an annexe or a home office suite subject to the relevant planning. The oversized double garage has recently been constructed and has electronic up and over doors and is clad in wood.
Rock Farm is approached from the lane along a sweeping gravel drive that goes off in two directions. One towards the house and the formal walled garden directly in front of the house, the second to the driveway with a path to the gates in the wall to the rear garden. The front gardens are laid to lawn anchoring them in the countryside landscape. To the rear the gardens are very private and offer far reaching and inspiring views. They have a parkland feel with extensive lawned areas and mature planting. There are two terraces the one immediately off the dining area is perfect for alfresco dining, and the second has a useful summer house currently used as a study and offers further escape for alfresco living.
There are also two fields ideal for grazing horses and/or livestock. In total the gardens and grounds extend to 4.61 acres.
Location
Rock Farm is situated close to St Martins, on the edge of the well regarded North Shropshire ‘Lakeland’ town of Ellesmere famous for its meres. Ellesmere has an excellent range of local shopping, recreational and educational facilities, and is within easy motoring distance of the larger centres of Oswestry, Shrewsbury, and Chester offering further facilities.
There are excellent state and private schools nearby including Packwood Haugh, Ellesmere College, Moreton Hall, Oswestry School and Shrewsbury School. Primary schools are available at Crifftins, Whittington and Gobowen.
There is a railway station in Chirk, providing access to London, whilst the nearby A5/M54 provides access to Birmingham and the Midlands, along with regional airports at Birmingham and Manchester.
