Woodside Farm

DESCRIPTION
Woodside Farm is a well presented, substantial family home constructed of mellow red brick elevations all surmounted by a tiled roof. The current owners have undertaken an extensive and sympathetic extension and renovation scheme, with a no-expense spared mantra evident throughout. The crisp modern fixtures and fittings blend seamlessly with the more period looking features such as exposed beams and stone fireplaces.

This property is a rarity to the market being a lovely family house, ring fenced by level paddock land with far reaching south westerly views of the rolling Shropshire countryside, with a huge range of agricultural buildings which have a myriad of different uses, including equestrian, subject to the necessary consents being obtained.

There is not a disappointing room in the house, with a suite of large light rooms with great ceiling height creating a real feeling of space and light. The ground floor has an impressive galleried entrance hall which could double up as a study, a dual aspect drawing room, and a huge open plan space incorporating the large kitchen breakfast room which is open to the sitting room with space for a dining room table. Off the kitchen lies the WC and good-sized utility room. This open plan space has doors to the large stone terrace ideal for alfresco dining.

Ascending the oak staircase to the first floor, there is a generously proportioned landing, which has lots of natural light due to the floor to eave dormer window, which runs the full height of the property. The principal bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and a modern ensuite shower room. Down the corridor from the landing, are two generously proportioned double bedrooms and a single bedroom.
