4 bedroom house

A deceptively spacious mature detached bungalow which has undergone modernisation, however could be further improved with ample scope to extend (STPP), whilst set in extensive grounds with outbuildings and land in a sought after rural locality, yet convenient for commuters. IN ALL ABOUT 2.84 ACRES.

Directions - From Junction 6 M54 motorway proceed north on the A5223 Hodnet road. Continue through Crudgington and on reaching Cold Hatton take the second turning right into Middle Lane. Follow this for about 150 meters and the property will be seen on the left hand side.

Situation - The property is attractively situated along a country lane and whilst set amidst a scattered hamlet, the property backs onto open farmland. There are some lovely walks in the area and local amenities can be found at the neighbouring village of Waters Upton providing a primary school and shop/post office. Further basic amenities can be found at Hodnet, including a medical centre, whilst more comprehensive facilities are available at either Newport, Shrewsbury or Wellington/Telford. The property is within easy reach of the A442 and provides good commuter access to the M54 motorway/Telford or north to Market Drayton and Whitchurch.

Description - Hillside offers a seldom opportunity in today's market to acquire a mature detached bungalow with excellent scope to extend (subject to planning consent) and improve/further modernise. The bungalow sits well within its plot offering excellent space around it. In addition, there are some basic outbuildings and grazing land.

The bungalow itself has undergone certain modernisation including being fully rewired, having a refurbished bathroom, and the installation of an infrared ceiling heating system with mainly individual room thermostats. Solar panels have been fitted to serve the new hot water system and the bungalow is double glazed. The accommodation layout is well proportioned and would suit a range of buyers including families and retirees.

Outside, the immediate surrounding grounds to the bungalow offer excellent scope for landscaping and redevelopment of the outbuildings (stpp). There is an orchard, together with an area of grassed land immediately to the side which is served by separate vehicular access from Middle Lane. Subject to any necessary planning consents this area could be further utilised for garaging, workshop, vehicle hard standing or simply fenced off as a paddock. To the rear are a selection of old outbuildings where a stable block could potentially be erected. Beyond this is the main block of grazing land, which will no doubt be of keen interest to equestrian or other such livestock users.
