Rural idyll – presented for 21st century lifestyle

Wainbridge House is brought to the market by Balfours. Situated amid South Shropshire’s idyllic area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at Clee St Margaret, this 4 bedroom country house comes with 14 acres of pasture, orchards, woodland and stream.

It has a range of outbuildings ideal for equestrian, commercial or agricultural purpose. A unique factor is some 100 walnut trees of compact Broadview variety, bred for their nuts.

This 4 bedroom farmhouse is beautifully presented, having been developed and improved by the current owners whose home it has been for the past 25 years. The welcome is into a generous hall offering access to the principal reception rooms plus the kitchen breakfast room.

In addition to the lounge and dining room, there is a family room and a study with external and internal access. The kitchen breakfast room provides an AGA and walk-in larder; it is semi open plan space with a snug area to one side. A utility and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

On the first floor are 2 en-suite bedrooms and an additional 2 double bedrooms served by the family bathroom. Each offers its own character, with playful ceiling elevations adding to atmosphere and the master room has glazing to 3 aspects. Below stairs is a useful cellar.

Each of the outbuildings is well presented and surrounded by good hardstanding, they total some 250 square meters of space. These are currently used as double garage, tractor barn, workshop barn, storage, office building and outside toilet. Balfours partner, Scott Kemsley says: “Essentially the services, including electric and water, are in place making it easy to repurpose these buildings to fit the needs of the next incumbent.”

While Furlong field adjacent to the house and outbuildings provides 3.7 acres of pasture, Upper Middling field provides pasture and the walnut orchard. Inkridge Field completes the pasture, while woodland and stream frame the fields.

Ditton Priors is just 5 five miles, providing primary school, Doctors Surgery, renowned Reg May & Son Butcher and pie maker, plus pub. Ludlow is 9 miles while Bridgnorth, Shrewsbury and Birmingham are all in comfortable commutes. Balfours are marketing Wainbridge House, with a guide price of £1,100,000.
