Property description

If your idea of the perfect home is being close to town, yet within a stone's throw from a swift road link, then this may very well be the property for you! Having bags of character and occupying a generous plot, this family home is ideal for those with a dependent relative due to the fact that there is an adjoining annexe with downstairs bedroom and shower room. Not only that, it would also be suitable for anyone who works from home, the annexe providing suitable office accommodation. There's even what looks like a cricket pavilion in the garden which could be utilised in a number of ways such as additional storage, an office or dog grooming parlour. The current owners are using it periodically as a pop-up 'Vintage' shop. Its close proximity to the A41 is an obvious appeal. It (partially) backs onto fields and there are front facing views towards the canal. However, do not be deceived by the photograph; it is not located down a leafy country lane and traffic noise from the bypass is audible. Still, at this price you can't really go wrong. An internal inspection is recommended, the spacious entrance hall with its exposed beamed ceiling immediately creating a favourable impression. The beamed theme extends to both reception rooms and the lovely sitting room has an exposed brick fireplace with log stove - where better place to be during those chilly winter evenings, than nodding off in front of a roaring fire?! In addition, there is a large conservatory with views over the garden, a galley kitchen (with plenty of work tops and cupboards) and from here, access to the annexe. Upstairs, both double bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and there is also a dressing room/study. The bathroom has 'Charlotte' sanitary fittings (as does the downstairs shower room) and there is a shower over the bath. Outside, it is immediately obvious that our clients are keen gardeners and they have managed to effectively create 'a garden within a garden' several times over, including various patio/seating areas, plus herbs, raised beds and numerous varieties of trees, bushes and shrubs, all screened by mature hedges. There are several sheds , an aluminium greenhouse and a detached double garage and long driveway, so if you have a lot of vehicles, you will certainly be well catered for here! Travel wise, there is swift access into town and the A41 allows access into Chester, Wrexham, Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton. Overall, this is a cherished home with much charm and character, including a flexible accommodation layout for both family and business, within decent grounds and excellent road links.
