**LOCATION. LOCATION, LOCATION
**
Located to the east of Shrewsbury's historic town centre, Cherry Orchard is one of Shrewsbury's most sought-after Victoria areas brimming with character. Close enough to the River Severn to enjoy riverside walks, if you're looking to dine out Abbey Foregate offers a range of restaurants and wine bars. But only 20 minutes walk away is the Shrewsbury town centre with great shopping and entertainment. Now add some well-respected public and private schooling, with easy access to the A5 and M54 connection routes and you will soon understand why this is such a great location.
**Now, a little bit about the property itself.
**
In the Victorian era, detached properties were a luxury and only purchased by people of high standing as most properties built on the grounds of the original Cherry Orchard estate were terrace or semi-detached. This period property stands out as it is detached and brimming with character yet manages to have a modern feel simultaneously. It has been such a great home for the current owner who has lived here for nearly 30 years.
The front of this house has curb appeal so sure, the tiled path with colourful flowers bordering the lawn sets the tone well. Once inside you are welcomed by a feeling of a much-loved home, keeping it traditional with a nice radiator cover.
The living has a cosy homely feel, with picture rails and a Victorian bay window providing additional floor space ideal for a single chair. We love the cast iron fireplace, tiling surround and hearth and can imagine cosying up on a cool winter evening in front of this open fire.
In the dining room, you find a great-sized room which has been the beating heart of this home for many years big enough for a four-seater table and chairs and a single reclining chair and other furniture. The window to the rear garden lets in lots of light making it bright and airy, benefiting from a log burn set in a brick fireplace with a stone hearth is a nice touch. Again a great room.
The kitchen is at the back of this property, open to the dining room which makes it a very social space, the vendor has recently upgraded the kitchen and I must say the white units look great. Compact but very functional with space for a stand-alone cooker and washing machine along with a built-in dishwasher and fridge freezer.
Now here is the interesting bit, the property comes with planning permission for a large single-story wraparound rear extension. This would transform the living space, increasing the size of the kitchen area and design with a bi-folding door to the garden, blending indoor and outdoor living seamlessly.
Upstairs we have three bedrooms, two doubles and a single. The main bedroom is at the front with built-in wardrobes so storage will not be a problem, Bedroom 2 will make a great children's or guest's double bedroom tucked away at the back of the house. Bedroom three works well as a single bedroom but would make a great home office with lovely views of the rear garden. The family bathroom finishes this floor off nicely.
The south-facing rear garden is a sun lover's dream. You can soak up the sun all day, the good-sized patio is perfect for just sitting outside and relaxing or ideal for BBQs and entertaining guests. A good-sized lawn is the perfect place for the children to play and is private due to the mature shrubs and trees. At the end of the garden which does go back a good length there is space for a garden shed and a nice stone area for sitting out in the evening. There is a useful brick store at the back of the house which is great for storing your garden furniture. Like the front garden, the rear is full of colour with several flower beds. To be honest, you have a great garden just waiting for you to move in and enjoy.
In conclusion, this property has a great location, is upgraded, is in great condition with lots of character and with planning permission for a large rear wraparound single-storey extension which
In brief: entrance hall, living room, dining room, kitchen diner, 3 bedrooms 2 doubles and a single, family bathroom, rear and front gardens. Planning permission to extent.
