Semi-rural five bed turnkey presentation

Oxley Cottage is tucked into the countryside, yet only 2 miles west of the county town. This immaculate and well thought-out gem reflects its 1700s roots, in parallel with maximising 21^st century design.

Found in Nobold, the property provides 4 reception rooms and 5 bedrooms, two of which are not only en-suite, but with generous dressing rooms. The welcome is to a skylight lit hall, with stairs to the first floor. Off the hall the sitting room features ancient beams and brick recess fireplace with woodburning stove, plus useful bookcases and storage.

Also, from the hall the kitchen with adjacent open plan dining room bounces you into a contemporary space where integrated appliances, kitchen island and French doors would sit well on any glossy page. Drift through to the dining area and painted overhead beams, arched brick fireplace, plus French doors emit truly chic vibes.

From the dining area a second pair of glazed double doors open into the family space, not only flooding natural light in but achieving an amazing, linked party space. The nearly 30 square metre family room benefits from bifold doors; the backdrop is to stunning rear gardens and views to the countryside. There is a good-sized study off the family room, with glazing to two aspects and built in bookcases to one wall.

For services, adjacent to the kitchen is a utility and WC, which link to both the outside and into an integral garage workshop, which could be adapted should extra living space be required.

Alistair Hilton, head of sales at Balfours, says: “Oxley Cottage is a rare sample of a turnkey character property; both inside and out. The dressing room in the second bedroom mirrors the study below and could indeed be a second study. The principal suite is a true treat, which includes his and hers basins within the shower room and a walk-in dressing room. There is also a laundry room on the first floor.”

Outside there is an extensive and immaculate flagged sun terrace, while an orchard holds Oxley Cottage to its origins providing a great array of specimen trees. “Add to this its proximity to Shrewsbury town centre and a fabulous choice of state and private schools and you really do have a very a highly desirable combination,” Alistair adds. Balfours are marketing Oxley Cottage with a guide price of £1,000,000. For more information call 01743 353511.
