Nestled in a peaceful and picturesque corner of Shawbury and adjoining open countryside, this substantial and characterful five-bedroom residence occupies the right-hand portion of an elegant former school house. Thoughtfully converted, the property now offers exceptionally versatile and spacious accommodation, blending period charm with modern functionality. Set within beautifully established gardens approaching 1/2 acre, this unique home presents an ideal opportunity for those seeking generous family living with the added benefit of a self-contained ground floor annexe - perfect for multigenerational living, guest accommodation or flexible work-from-home space. The layout has been carefully designed to adapt to a wide range of lifestyles, offering excellent flow, privacy and practical options. Whether you're looking for a stylish country residence, a home with income or care potential, or simply space to grow and create, this former school house delivers a rare combination of setting, scale, and flexibility in one of Shropshire's most desirable rural locations.

A welcoming reception hall gives access to the principal accommodation, including a spacious living room, dining room with door opening onto the courtyard, and a beautifully appointed, bespoke kitchen/breakfast room featuring solid timber worktops. Upstairs, there are three comfortable bedrooms and a well presented family bathroom. From the hall, the layout also flows through to a thoughtfully integrated annexe, offering two additional bedrooms, shower room, sitting room and a kitchen/utility area - perfect for dependent relatives, guests or flexible work-from-home arrangements.

A standout feature of the property is its countryside style garden, which extends to approx. 1/2 acre. These established, informal grounds are rich with mature planting, shrubs, trees and soft borders, offering an unmanicured, naturally flowing feel that blends effortlessly into the surrounding landscape. The garden wraps around the home and enjoys uninterrupted views over open farmland, with The Wrekin visible in the distance.

Adding to the appeal is a garden office/studio - fully powered and ideal for remote working, hobbies, or creative pursuits, as well as a 10m x 4m polytunnel, offering fantastic potential for year-round growing and sustainable living. The property also benefits from an electric car charging point, gravel driveway, garage and further outbuildings for additional storage delivering both practicality and privacy in a glorious Shropshire setting.
