Property description
This is a property that is likely to fall into one of two camps - either you'll love it or you'll hate it! If you are able to see beyond the clutter and 'stuff' that the current owner has accumulated over the years, you will see a fine example of an Arts and Crafts house with its characteristic bay windows and hand painted leaded light stained glass features, typical of properties from this era. What you will see before you, is the opportunity to transform this incredibly spacious family home to its former glory and own what is a unique style property in this part of Whitchurch.As the road name suggests, the property is located within easy access of the railway station, ideal for anyone commuting by rail, whilst those travelling by car will appreciate swift access, not only to the town centre, but also to the bypass for travel into Shropshire towns, Cheshire, Staffordshire, North Wales and The West Midlands. The house itself has an imposing entrance hall and three large, separate reception rooms, along with a kitchen, laundry and workshop. Upstairs, the fourth bedroom has been transformed into a boudoir, complete with hip bath and interesting pedestal, although this could easily be reverted to its original former use, if required. The shower room and separate WC will however need to be refurbished. Outside, the walled rear garden is very well stocked and could be a real delight. All building material will remain in situ and this will no doubt assist buyers in their quest to upgrade the property. In essence, don't be put off by what you initially see. Beyond the clutter, there is a superb property crying out for restoration and this surely must be your opportunity to create something very special indeed!
