Description

Walford House is a distinguished period residence situated in the picturesque north Shropshire countryside, presenting significant potential for renovation and investment. This Victorian-era home, crafted by the notable Dutton family in the 19th century, retains many of its original architectural features, including an elegant hand-turned pitch pine staircase and intricate plaster cornices. The property offers a spacious layout with multiple reception rooms that can be reimagined for modern living or entertaining purposes. The expansive breakfast kitchen, with an Aga, overlooks the well-established gardens and presents an ideal setting for enhancement. The first and second floors encompass five generous double bedrooms, along with essential bathroom facilities that could benefit from modernization. A cellar with two chambers adds extra utility, while the outbuildings—including barns and stables—provide versatile spaces for various uses or further development. Set within approximately 5.4 acres of mature gardens and paddocks, Walford House's exterior showcases beautifully landscaped areas complemented by productive spaces such as vegetable gardens and fruit cages. The surrounding land holds potential for additional residential planning opportunities. Located near the thriving town of Ellesmere, this property is well-connected to major transport routes, making it an attractive option for those seeking to restore a period gem while capitalizing on its investment potential.
