The Property

Approached via a quiet country lane, Heath House enjoys a substantial private gravel driveway providing ample parking alongside access to the house, outbuildings, and surrounding grounds. The property's generous plot offers an excellent degree of privacy, with uninterrupted countryside views stretching across the rolling Shropshire landscape.

Stepping inside, you're welcomed by an inviting entrance hall with attractive quarry tiled flooring. To one side, the charming sitting room is full of character, featuring traditional wood-panelled walls and a beautiful inset fireplace with an open grate, creating a cosy and welcoming space to relax.

The spacious kitchen/breakfast room enjoys a dual-aspect design, filling the room with natural light while framing picturesque views across the surrounding countryside. Well-equipped with a range of fitted units and integrated appliances, including an oven, induction hob, Belfast sink, and traditional Stanley Range, it provides the perfect setting for family life. A generous conservatory leads directly from the kitchen, offering a bright and versatile living space overlooking the gardens.

Beyond the kitchen, a practical lobby with WC leads into an impressive family room complete with a wood-burning stove and secondary kitchenette. This flexible space could suit a variety of uses, from additional family accommodation to entertaining, with external doors opening onto both the kitchen garden and the stable yard. A separate shower room with WC is also conveniently accessed from the yard.

Upstairs, the property offers three generously sized double bedrooms, all benefiting from built-in storage, with two enjoying fitted wardrobes. Completing the first floor is a well-appointed family bathroom featuring a bath, WC, and wash hand basin.

Gardens, Grounds & Outbuildings

One of Heath House's standout features is its exceptional range of outbuildings, offering enormous potential for hobbyists, equestrian use, storage, or business opportunities.

A substantial barn with an upper-level storage area accessed via a ramp provides extensive storage space, while an adjoining lean-to benefits from power and lighting, making it ideal for workshops or additional storage.

The impressive long barn is currently divided into several storage areas but offers exciting potential for conversion into additional accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions (STPP). Adjoining this is a further room currently operating as a successful tea room, which could continue as a business venture or be adapted into ancillary accommodation or a holiday let.

The beautifully maintained grounds include extensive lawned gardens, ample parking, and a delightful natural swimming pool, creating a tranquil outdoor retreat that perfectly complements the surrounding countryside.
