The property: Mangerton is a delightful four bedroom period house dating back in part to the early 1800’s with more recent additions. The characterful accommodation is well proportioned and where possible, orientated with views over the delightful gardens. Currently offering an array of versatile rooms, there is also excellent scope for modernisation and further development, subject to the relevant planning consents.
A mature wisteria frames the picturesque frontage of the house with the front door opening under a timber portico into an easy flow of reception spaces. These include a dining room, snug, drawing room and garden room. The kitchen breakfast room is fitted with a range of floor and base units along with an electric Rayburn and integrated appliances. A utility room, pantry and WC complete the ground floor accommodation.
Stairs rise to the first floor landing where four bedrooms are serviced by three bathrooms. This floor offers exciting potential for reconfiguration.
Outbuildings
Located off the driveway is a brick and timber double carport with adjoining log store and pony stable/store room. Beyond is a triple timber garage, which could also serve as stabling having access directly onto the paddock.
Other structures include a summerhouse with power supply, Nordic barbecue hut, workshop, brick stores and pigsties.
Services: Mains electricity, gas, water and drainage. Solar panels.
Agents note: There is an agreement with Rainmaker Renewables for the solar panels on the triple garage<br /><br />The enchanting gardens at Mangerton are a particular feature of the property providing wonderful variety and interest. Flanking the large expanse of lawn are borders fully stocked with flowering herbaceous plants and mature shrubbery with pathways meandering through coppices and past magical follies. Extending from the back of the house is a large terraced area with kitchen garden beyond.
The grounds in total extend to around 1.4 acres including a 0.68-acre paddock with vehicle access off the driveway.<br /><br />Mangerton offers a superb semi-rural position being near the villages of Hanwood and Pontesbury, and the county town of Shrewsbury. It enjoys beautiful views towards Pontesford Hill and the South Shropshire countryside beyond, an area popular for both walking and riding with a good network of both bridleways and footpaths.
The village of Hanwood is nearby, which has a village hall, public house, general store with post office, church and primary school. The county town of Shrewsbury is easily accessible and offers a comprehensive range of shopping, leisure and social facilities, along with highly regarded schools, including Shrewsbury School, Shrewsbury High School and Shrewsbury Sixth Form College.
The house is well placed for commuting to Shrewsbury, Telford and Midland business centres via the M54 and to the North, Chester via the A5. There is a main line rail service from Shrewsbury. Regional international airports can be found at Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool.
