Period family home – open canvas

The Shropshire Powys border is the location of a charming double-fronted period home, offering four or five bedrooms and set in 0.7 acre of garden and grounds. Gwernsebon, is located less than a mile from Llanrhaedr Ym Mochnant, providing all day-to-day needs.

On the market with Balfours the guide price of £350,000 reflects the need for full internal modernisation. Alistair Hilton, head of sales explains: “This is a rare opportunity for the purchaser to create a bespoke home to individual needs and design aspirations. Significantly the property benefits from a recently installed energy-efficient Air Source heat Pump system.”

In all the house provides a generous 1784 square feet. This comprises of an entrance hall, two reception rooms, a kitchen and large pantry/storeroom, plus a ground floor ensuite bedroom. Alistair adds: “According to needs this could equally be repurposed to provide study and utility or open plan living space. Stairs ascend from the hall to the first floor which accommodates four double bedrooms.”

Externally too Gwernsebon is an open canvas with a backdrop to idyllic views of open countryside – again presenting great potential for individual dreams and interpretations to be realized. In addition to walks within the vicinity, the revered Lake Vyrnwy is just ten miles, while the towns of Oswestry, Shrewsbury and Wrexham are all very commutable. There is also a good selection of state and public schools within the locality.
