Description

Walford House presents a unique opportunity for those interested in restoring a striking Victorian property nestled in the picturesque Shropshire countryside. Built in the 19th century by the notable Dutton family, this residence showcases a wealth of period features that could be enhanced with thoughtful renovations. Inside, you’ll find an impressive hand-turned pitch pine staircase and various original details such as deep skirting boards and intricate plasterwork cornicing, all of which can be preserved or restored to highlight the home's historical charm. The expansive layout includes multiple reception rooms ideal for modern living and entertaining, alongside a breakfast kitchen equipped with an Aga, which opens onto a sunlit garden—perfect for cultivating outdoor spaces. The upper levels house five spacious bedrooms complemented by necessary bathroom facilities. A cellar and an array of versatile outbuildings add further potential for bespoke uses, whether it be additional living space or hobbyist workshops. The grounds encompass approximately 5.4 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and paddocks, making this property attractive not only for residential purposes but also for equestrian interests or agricultural ventures. With a strategic location close to local amenities in Ellesmere and excellent road links to surrounding towns, Walford House is primed for investment potential as well as personal enhancement. The property does require some updates, particularly regarding drainage systems and general maintenance, thus offering buyers an appealing project with substantial upside.
