Detached House for sale on

Ford, Shrewsbury, SY5

Tenure: Freehold

** No Chain** This is a rare opportunity to purchase a substantial family home with outbuildings, set in the attractive Shropshire village of Ford, in its own delightful grounds with stunning rural views. Clifton Villa enjoys a peaceful elevated position in the older more established part of the village and is under six miles from the historic county town of Shrewsbury. The property has its own spacious drive with the main house to the front and outbuildings adjacent. 

The house currently comprises: large porch leading to the fully fitted farmhouse kitchen with rangemaster cooker, oodles of storage space including a pantry, and views over the garden.  The kitchen leads to the first reception room with views out over the garden and a built-in storage cupboard, and on to another similar size reception room separated by the stairs to the first floor, again with views out over the garden; where the reception rooms and stairs meet there is a porch/sunroom leading out onto the garden.  There is also a usable cellar accessed from the first reception room. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, two good size doubles both with extensive built-in wardrobing, and a good size single bedroom again with built-in wardrobing this bedroom is the only access to the family bathroom with bath and shower cubicle. The property benefits from new carpets throughout, has been freshly painted and all the electrics have been updated, with a new fuse board and an Electrical Installation Condition Report available upon request.

The outbuildings offer a significant space, with cardeston stone-built walls, which could be used for many purposes with power and water already connected. There is a current pre-planning application report that is sympathetic for changing the use of the outbuildings to residential, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The gardens are extensive, mainly laid to lawn, bounded by trees, hedges and stone walls with stunning views over the Shropshire countryside, and there is off road parking for numerous vehicles. There is oil fired central heating and Upvc double glazed windows.

Ford is a quaint village with a great community feel benefiting from a range of amenities including a restaurant, garage, shop, school, Church and village hall. There is easy access to public and private sector schools spanning a good age range, and to the major road network links, the A5 and M54, to the south via Shrewsbury, Telford and the north via Oswestry, Chester, and A548 to the market town of Welshpool and Mid Wales. The nearest rail links are in Shrewsbury and Welshpool.

Clifton Villa is already a lovely home, however with further improvements, subject to the necessary planning consents, this could be an impressive property.

This property comes with no upward chain and it’s a cliché but “it needs to be seen to appreciate its potential”.

Agents Note: the seller is a family member of an employee of Belvoir.
