Plealey House, Plealey - Guide price £875,000
Plealey House 17th century home with 21st century virtues
Plealey House is a rare opportunity to satisfy so many virtues with one purchase. Spacious living comes with five reception rooms, the same number of bedrooms, plus four attic rooms. Character is unchallenged for this 17th century grade II listed timber framed house with walled garden.
And finally location, in the heart of the village of Plealey, one of the most sought after villages in Shropshire, yet six miles from the county town of Shrewsbury and commuting distance to Telford with Birmingham and Manchester easily accessible.
An impressive sweeping circular gravelled drive, set off by lawn and shrubs leads to the front of the property, already there is a feeling of age with exposed timbers to the central elevations. The focal point of the large entrance hall is the original Coalbrookdale cast iron stove and bread oven.
This flexible accommodation has recently undergone refurbishment and currently provides kitchen breakfast room, sitting room, study, garden room, dining room and drawing room. The dining room has a part panelled wall and exposed floorboards. As with several rooms there are working window shutters, and a stunning fireplace with Clearview woodburner.
Says Tim Main of Balfours Property Professionals: “Plealey House has first class virtues, not least access to excellent local facilities including village life, local shops in the neighbouring village of Pontesbury and an extensive choice of private and state schooling..”
To serve the five bedrooms, there is one en-suite and an additional two family bathrooms. The principle bathroom is fitted with a roll-top cast iron bath and a double walk in shower and walk in airing cupboard. The staircase to the second floor attic rooms divides with two rooms to either side, providing additional space for extra bedrooms or play/hobby rooms and storage.
The extensive gardens are full of character, with a walled terrace providing a perfect area for eating al fresco. In addition there is an adjoining stable block with all original character intact incorporating two stables, tack room plus hayloft above.
