4 bedroom house

The property
Mole End is a striking country house situated in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with stunning views over The Stiperstones Ridge. Believed in parts to date back to the 18th Century, the house has been sympathetically extended to provide both comfortable every-day living and larger scale formal entertaining.

A well-established family home, Mole End is notable for its light, south-orientated accommodation designed to encapsulate its spectacular surroundings. The front door opens to a glass portico, off which leads a cloakroom and continuing into a central reception hall. An open plan dining and drawing room with Clearview log burner has french doors opening onto the rear terrace. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room with beautiful bespoke fitted Harvey Jones units and granite tops offers a range of well-designed storage and integrated appliances to include a new Rayburn range cooker, separate ceramic hob and double oven.

A superb sunroom with log burner and duel aspect bi-fold doors enjoys the views over the garden and countryside scenery beyond, leading onto a decked sun terrace.

Stairs rise from the hallway to the first floor, where four double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with Jacuzzi bath. The master bedroom is of particular note, with a delightful balcony overlooking the grounds and spectacular views of the Shropshire countryside beyond. The en-suite also enjoy splendid views from a roll top bath. A second bedroom is served by an en-suite and benefits from ample storage.
