Description

This distinguished village home, set in an elevated position on the edges of Longden, boasts breathtaking views over the Shropshire countryside. Originally built in 1937, this property has been cherished for decades and features a wealth of period characteristics including deep skirting boards, picture rails, and sash windows that speak to its historical charm. However, it presents a substantial opportunity for renovation to enhance its existing allure or adapt it to modern living needs. The spacious layout includes a grand Dining Hall leading to multiple reception areas such as a Drawing Room with potential for diverse uses. The heart of the home is an open-plan Kitchen, Dining and Family Room that offers ample space for both daily activities and entertaining. A traditional Garden Room showcases mesmerizing countryside views, while there’s also a practical Utility Room with a Cloak Room. Upstairs, the three generously-sized double bedrooms are complemented by two bathrooms, including a Jack and Jill style bathroom that can be redesigned to incorporate contemporary fittings. The sizeable loft area provides further potential for conversion into additional living space (subject to planning permissions). Externally, the property is set on a large plot with expansive gardens featuring established trees that ensure privacy. The driveway accommodates several vehicles alongside a detached garage. With some thoughtful updates, this semi-rural residence could truly become a luxurious family home or serve as an investment opportunity given its prime location near local amenities within Shrewsbury. Viewing is advised to fully appreciate its potential.
