Property description
What could be better than living in the country and running your own business from an office/workshop next door? Sounds too good to be true, but this is your chance to turn that dream into reality. Just imagine being able to give up the daily commute and converting those wasted hours in the car into precious 'family' time, let alone the saving on fuel! Of course, you may not want to run your own business and the buildings could lend themselves to all manner of uses, such as additional garaging or even the possibility of a granny/teenager annexe, subject to planning consent. Needless to say, the recently built 2 storey 'Man Cave' is bound to appeal (not only to men) to those who require space for all manner of purposes (you could easily accommodate a full sized snooker table for instance); the list is endless. Then there is the living accommodation itself, which has 3 downstairs reception rooms and an enlarged kitchen/diner with its granite worktops and 'trendy' glass block wall. Upstairs, there are 5 double bedrooms (the master having an en-suite shower room) plus a spacious family bathroom. Outside, the gardens are well established with front facing rural views and a sheltered landscaped courtyard. There is a real sense of 'community' within Prees, the village itself having a shop, post office, doctor, hairdresser, village hall, railway station and primary school. There is a club house within the recreational ground, which also incorporates a bowling club, along with cricket and football fields. It is well placed for travel by car into nearby Whitchurch, Wem and Shrewsbury.
