An extremely attractive 4 bedroom period family house with breathtaking, far reaching views, equestrian facilities & set in about 13 acres.

Description - Nills Farmhouse has the most stunning and truly special position, enjoying an elevated location with spectacular views of the rolling Shropshire hills. The house is positioned to fully capitalise on the views with large picture windows framing the view from the kitchen, two reception rooms and three out of the four bedrooms.

The house has wonderful ceiling height with a real feeling of space and light. The layout is ideal for modern family living with the side entrance porch leading through to the expansive kitchen breakfast room with Rayburn and Beko Range cooker, solid wooden kitchen units and kitchen table. The main drawing room has a Clearview log burner and French doors out to the front gardens. The sitting room (currently used as a ground floor bedroom) has a cast iron hob grate fireplace. The third reception room lies to the rear and makes a lovely snug/office. The entrance door to the stable side of the house, opens into a hall with shower room off, door to cellar and has a wide staircase to the first-floor landing.

The first floor has four generously proportioned bedrooms, one currently used as an office/library, some with fitted wardrobes and all served by a well-proportioned family bathroom.

This house is just perfect for the equestrian buyer with the stable block, paddock land and the proximity of a bridle path to the side of the house offering off-road riding. This property is also a potential small holding.

Gardens & Grounds - A shared sweeping hedge lined drive leads to a righthand spur which forms the private drive of the farmhouse. The private drive leads to a grassed parking and turning area for numerous cars, lying to the side of the house. The parking area also lies to the front of the timber stable block with concrete apron. The stable block houses three stables, a tack room and has a separate hay barn with hard standing for a horsebox adjacent. There is a gated entrance to the extensive paddock land to the rear of the stables. The paddock land is in good condition with areas of woodland and a small stream. This makes this property ideal for the equestrian buyer with a foot and bridle path just to the side of the house, providing off-road hacking, which is a rarity for any house.

The gardens wrap around the house, with a lawned area to the front. To the rear a terrace lies off the rear porch with a private garden to the rear with deep herbaceous borders with a green house and small pond to the side of the house.
