Description

Nestled in the quaint village of Preston Brockhurst, this Grade II listed detached residence presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Steeped in history, The White House showcases period features such as exposed beams, brick fireplaces, and timber-framed elevations that provide an authentic charm throughout its spacious three floors. Occupying a substantial half-acre plot, the property is surrounded by mature gardens and offers ample parking alongside outbuildings that could serve various purposes. The inviting entrance leads to a series of character-filled rooms including a living room with a striking stone fireplace and a wood-burning stove, exuding warmth and comfort. The dining hall, highlighted by impressive exposed timbers and brickwork, serves as an ideal space for gatherings. While the kitchen retains rustic allure with solid wood cabinetry and a traditional range set within a brick-arched alcove, it provides significant scope for modern upgrades to enhance functionality. On the first floor, four spacious double bedrooms are complemented by a family bathroom. Additional flexible space can be found in the attic rooms accessible via another staircase—perfect for conversion into further living areas or guest accommodations (subject to planning consent). The expansive outdoor area boasts established trees and lawns, making it ideal for outdoor activities or entertainment amidst picturesque rural views. Located conveniently between Shrewsbury and Wem, residents benefit from both tranquillity and accessibility to local amenities as well as transport links via the A49. This residence not only offers historical significance but also immense potential for those looking to create their bespoke family home while preserving its unique heritage.
