A distinguished and elegantly proportioned Grade II Listed Georgian residence, offering extensive accommodation combining period charm with modern living space.
Wood Farm features a handsome Georgian farmhouse forming part of a traditional rural farmstead. Dating from the 18th or early 19th century, it displays classic Georgian symmetry, proportion and practical design. The property retains its period charm while benefiting from sensitive alterations and extensions, undertaken with listed building consent, highlighting its architectural and historic significance. Today, it offers an appealing blend of character and modern living, with further scope for enhancement supported by existing planning permissions, presenting an attractive opportunity for prospective purchasers.
The principal house is arranged over three storeys and exemplifies the balanced proportions and understated elegance synonymous with the Georgian period. Impressive ceiling heights, beautifully proportioned rooms and an abundance of natural light combine to create a refined yet highly comfortable living environment, ideally suited to both family life and entertaining.
The accommodation has been carefully and sympathetically enhanced, offering a versatile layout with further opportunity for extension. Planning permission has been granted for a single storey extension to part of the stable block, creating substantial additional ancillary accommodation. A welcoming Georgian-style reception hall sets a distinguished tone on arrival. The ground floor provides an excellent range of reception space, including a generous yet inviting sitting room, a dedicated music room and a well-appointed boot/cloakroom, balancing practicality with elegance.
Further enhancing the property's appeal is a substantial vaulted cellar and an impressive timber-framed roof space, both offering excellent storage and potential for a variety of future uses, subject to any necessary consents. At the heart of the home lies a superb family kitchen, centred around a traditional Aga, creating a warm and sociable focal point. Adjoining is a useful pantry/utility room. Leading from the kitchen is a superb garden room, featuring extensive glazing and an impressive roof lantern that floods the room with natural light.
To the first floor, there are three bedrooms including an impressive principal suite with a large en suite, together with a dressing room and a well-appointed family bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms. The second floor provides a further four bedrooms and a large bathroom, offering excellent flexibility for family living, guest accommodation or home working.
Gardens & Grounds
The property is set within attractive surroundings characteristic of a traditional Shropshire farmstead, extending to approximately 7 acres and enhancing its rural appeal. The grounds comprise landscaped gardens, amenity land, an arena and potential for a tennis court, subject to any necessary consents.
A high degree of privacy is enjoyed, with a peaceful backdrop of open countryside and farmland. Particularly noteworthy is the frontage to the River Meese, together with private fishing and water extraction rights. The river provides a haven for wildlife, including occasional sightings of otters, while this unspoilt setting creates a wonderful sense of tranquillity that perfectly complements the lifestyle offered by the property.
