A stunning stone and half-timbered house boasting a wealth of charm and character throughout with deceptive and extensive accommodation of 5 bedrooms, 4 reception rooms, 2 bathrooms, 4 WC's and fitted kitchen. The property is a combination of a 16th Century town house and 2 converted timber barns which also has an extremely good sized and most unexpected landscaped rear garden with a cobbled terrace, well stocked planting borders, pathways, quiet seating areas, mixed orchard and country views. There is also a home office/studio in the grounds. This unique property boats many qualities in terms of space and location and conventionally could provide a 5 bedroomed family house but could also be adapted to several family requirements including granny annex, home office/studio or even holiday lets.
This property is situated in a popular yet convenient location, close to the centre of the market town of Bishops Castle which provides a wide range of amenities including good schools, a petrol station, shops, co-op supermarket, a range of public houses, restaurants and cafes, livestock market, doctors, dentists and vets as well as a frequent bus service. Bishops Castle is an important service provider for the surrounding rural areas, much of which is officially designated as being of outstanding natural beauty. Whilst the town has many services and amenities previously mentioned, the larger centres of Shrewsbury and Church Stretton and Ludlow provide a wider range of opportunities and amenities as well as access to the national rail and motorway network.

From Welsh Street the property has the rare benefit of off-street single parking to a car port. This leads through to a private courtyard space which provides lovely outdoor seating area.
The main GARDENS lie to the rear and are quite exceptional in terms of size and layout extending to about 1/3 of an acre. They can be approached through the house or on foot 1) over the neighbours yard or 2) via a right of way in the far corner of the garden on to Oak Meadow. Vehicular access is also possible when the neighbours yard is empty (whenever the holiday let is empty and most Fridays 10-3) or at other times by prior arrangement.
From the garden room/self contained unit the gardens open out onto a large stone cobbled and paved terrace with central ornamental pond. This area is extremely private with the remaining extensive gardens stretching out from the terraces. Long range views beyond the town are of the wooded hills of Colstey and surroundings. To one side of the upper terraces is the kitchen garden, whilst larger lawned areas gently slope away to an open orchard area with a mixture of fruit trees. A variety of pathways and bedding areas lead to the lower lawned area with the whole being well screened by mature trees, bushes and walls. There are a number of tranquil seating areas together with useful outbuildings. These gardens are South facing and enjoy a great deal of daytime sun.
