Fieldway

DESCRIPTION
Fieldway is a wonderful modern family house believed to have been constructed in the 1990’s constructed of mellow cheshire brick, surmounted by a slate roof. This most attractive house enjoys a truly special location, sat in an elevated position, with total privacy and breathtaking, far reaching southerly views of the rolling Shropshire countryside.

Internally the accommodation is laid out over three floors with a layout ideal for modern family living. An entrance porch leads to the inner hall/study with door to the staircase hall with separate WC. There are two reception rooms, the largest being the triple aspect drawing room with wood burning stove with stone surround. The second being the sitting room with southerly views. An inner hall with rear hall/boot room off, leads to the generously proportioned open plan area which houses the kitchen breakfast room and family room. This wonderful room is open to the eaves giving a real feeling of space and light, with exposed beams and trusses. Two elevations are fully glazed with French doors leading out onto the south facing terrace. There is a central log burner and oak flooring with grey painted kitchen units with a Rangemaster Professional range with extractor over, USA style Samsung fridge/freezer, Zanussi microwave and a Neff dishwasher. There is also a large central island unit with breakfast bar. There is ample room for a dining room table and sofas creating the family area.

A wooden staircase leads to the first-floor landing with all three bedrooms having the southerly far-reaching views. The principal bedroom has a fantastic marble tiled ensuite bathroom with a deep fill spa bath and separate walk-in shower. There are a further two double bedrooms and a family shower room which can also be used as ensuite to bedroom two.

Stairs from the inner hall landing lead down to the lower ground floor, where bedroom four, a good-sized double with ensuite shower room lies, as well as a gym/games/office, utility and storerooms.

GARDENS & GROUNDS
The house is accessed via an impressive, gated entrance with sweeping tarmacadum drive bounded by stone walling and post and rail fencing. The drive sweeps round to the back of the house where the detached double garage with storage room above lies, with much potential for a myriad of difference uses subject to planning. The beautiful, landscaped gardens surround the house with an attractive parterre area to the rear with a wisteria arbour over a central feature and a seating area.

The formal gardens with lawns and terrace are to the south facing/front elevation with the stone terrace having outstanding views, with steps down to the lawns with timber summer house. There is a vegetable garden and orchard to the side of the house with mature apple and damsons trees and a greenhouse. A netted tarmacadam tennis court lies to the end of the gardens.

EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES
Currently a private yard, the equestrian facilities are believed to have been designed and built by Charles Britton to the highest specifications. The yard would be suitable for a professional or commercial operation (subject to planning). There is an American barn with 6 stables, two foaling/youngster stables, large open feed/implement storage area with much potential for many more stables, feed and tack rooms, and wash/solarium bay. There is also a separate WC. This building would equally serve a number of non-equestrian uses such as housing a classic car collection or workshop.

The lunging pen has extant planning permission for a horse walker. The outdoor manége is 30m x 60m with a Charles Britton coated surface and has post and railed fencing. The paddocks are mainly post and rail fenced with gated access and most have water connected. There are a few natural ponds which are fenced off in the grazing areas. There is a separate lorry access off the lane to the rear of the American barn where there is ample parking for lorries and trailers along with turning space.
