Description

Believed to date from the 18th century, St Peters House is a distinguished period home that has been sympathetically improved and upgraded in recent years, including the installation of a new heating system and septic tank. The property has also benefited from the acquisition of adjoining grazing land, creating an attractive total holding of approximately 1.9 acres.

Constructed in part of sandstone and retaining a wealth of original character, the house showcases an abundance of period features including exposed beams, an original bread oven, fireplaces and extensive cellarage. The accommodation is arranged over three floors and enjoys elegant proportions throughout, blending historic charm with modern comfort.

A welcoming entrance porch opens to the principal reception areas, including a beautifully proportioned dining room with dual aspects and an attractive fireplace. The impressive drawing room features a striking beamed ceiling and a substantial fireplace with log-burning stove, while a separate study provides a peaceful space overlooking the gardens.

At the heart of the home lies the well-appointed breakfast kitchen, fitted with a range of units centred around an island and complemented by integrated appliances. A charming original bread oven serves as a reminder of the property's heritage, while adjoining is a light-filled garden room opening directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond.

A secondary hallway provides practical day-to-day access and leads to a utility room, cloakroom and additional storage facilities.

The first floor of the main house provides four generous bedrooms and a luxurious bathroom. The principal suite enjoys attractive views and a private en suite shower room, while two further double bedrooms retain charming cast-iron fireplaces. A fourth bedroom is currently arranged as a home office. The bathroom is elegantly appointed with a freestanding bath, large walk-in shower and contemporary fittings.
The second floor offers two additional double bedrooms, one with en suite facilities and the other benefiting from useful eaves storage. Both enjoy attractive views across the surrounding gardens and countryside.

Annexe / Holiday Let

Connected to, yet capable of operating independently from the main residence, the annexe offers excellent versatility as guest accommodation, multi-generational living space or an established holiday letting opportunity. Benefiting from its own private entrance and parking, the accommodation comprises a ground-floor double bedroom and contemporary shower room, together with a first-floor open-plan living and kitchen area featuring vaulted ceilings and exposed timbers.

Outside

St Peters House is approached via private parking and garaging, with a courtyard providing separate access and parking for the annexe. The gardens and land extend to approximately 1.9 acres, incorporating formal gardens and adjoining paddock, creating an idyllic setting for lifestyle, equestrian interests or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the Shropshire countryside.

A rare opportunity to acquire a handsome period country house offering exceptional versatility, extensive accommodation and land, all within reach of both Bridgnorth and the wider West Midlands.
