The property
Located on the semi rural outskirts of Oswestry this is an exciting opportunity for a new owner to purchase a property of poise and elegance having been lovingly cherished by the same family for over thirty years. This impressive arts and crafts architect designed property has a plethora of period features offering a wonderful and substantial family home of the utmost charm whilst retaining a very friendly feel.
Reputedly built in 1927 for a Scottish engineer in the arts and crafts style, period features and architectural details provide immense interest and character both internally and externally. Internally these details include hand turned staircase, panelled doors, window reveals, deep carved skirting boards and architraves, stone fireplace and decorative tiled windowsills. Externally, the slate arched eyebrow and dormers are of significant note. The leaded landing mullion style window, downpipes and gutters, decorative render with brick detailing, tall chimneys, front porch and rear loggia create an impressive and charming exterior.
The wide front door opens to the vestibule from the porch to the formal reception hall where the handsome staircase rises. Facing south the dining, sitting and drawing rooms all enjoy excellent proportions and offer flexible accommodation for both entertaining and family living. The drawing room is a room of immense elegance with windows to three sides, stone and tiled fireplace with inset gas log burner and a ceiling with coving detail. The heart of this special family home is the magnificent kitchen family breakfast room which is an impressive day to day living room. Expertly crafted by Kenton Jones with oak units, granite work surfaces, integrated appliances and Rayburn there is ample space for free standing furniture and French windows open to the side terrace. The utility room, rear hall and shower room complete the ground floor.
Five double bedrooms radiate off the magnificent L shaped landing with vast mullion leaded window with a peaceful library area to the far end and storage cupboards. The spacious principal bedroom has an suite bathroom with window to the side and views across the open countryside to the south front. Attractively styled in blue and white the family bathroom has a bath and separate shower cubicle.

Pentlands is set majestically within private and beautifully presented deep and wide mature gardens to all sides of the house where all aspects of a sunny day can be enjoyed. Divided into distinct and different horticultural spaces and extending to approx 0.81 acres there are mature specimen shrubs and trees honing the house in its semi-rural landscape. Wrapping around the house are the driveway and terrace areas ideal for al fresco living. A stylish and considered variety of paving, and terracing create interest and complements the arts and crafts exterior. Facing south the lawn has a parkland feel with rural views with a cottage style garden with paths and flower beds as well as a kitchen garden with vegetable beds.
The marvellous tennis court has a painted tarmacadam surface.
With a wide frontage the property is set back from Oakhurst Road with the large driveway leading to a courtyard that provides plenty of parking and leads on to the detached garage block. Offering garaging, a workshop built in 2012 and large greenhouse this building offers immense scope for an office or hobbies room subject to the relevant planning consents.<br /><br />Location
Pentlands stands rurally on the very edge of Oswestry with unspoilt farmland to the front elevation. The market town of Oswestry has an excellent range of shops and amenities including the award winning Booka bookshop and The Wynnstay Hotel. The area is well served by a number of respected independent schools, including Packwood Haugh Prep School, Moreton Hall, Oswestry School, Ellesmere College along with Chester and Shrewsbury schools.
Oswestry is well placed for easy access to Chester and the North West via the A5 and to the south, Shrewsbury, Birmingham and the Midlands via the A5/M54. Trains available to Birmingham, London and Chester from Gobowen and Chirk. Regional airports include Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham.
