Mount View
Available for the first time in nearly twenty years Mount View offers an exciting opportunity for a new purchaser to live on the rural outskirts of Oswestry in the vibrant hamlet of Melverley. In recent years the property has been significantly extended, enhanced and refurbished in a sympathetic manner resulting in a friendly and light home. Beautifully situated in the heart of the North Shropshire countryside Mount View enjoys views across to the Welsh hills and offers immense opportunity with the main house, detached two bedroom cottage and outbuildings.
Architectural details provide immense interest and character both internally and externally at Mount View. Internally these details include cottage style latch doors, two log burners, wooden floors, classic shaker style kitchen and refurbished bathrooms with white sanitaryware. Externally a rendered façade, wooden style UPVC windows and a slate tiled roof create an farmhouse style charming exterior.
The Farmhouse
Cleverly designed with two porches to the front and rear as well as a useful rear door to the laundry country life throughout the season will be easy. The front door opens to the formal front hall with the staircase rising upwards and door to the superbly proportioned sitting and drawing room. The drawing room is a delightful large dual aspect room, ideal for entertaining with a log burner in a feature fireplace with decorative beam above. The heart of Mount View is the superb and spacious dining kitchen. Distinctly divided into two areas with a large island there is ample space for freestanding dining furniture and peaceful views across the front and rear gardens. The laundry, WC and utility room complete the ground floor. Four large double bedrooms, one with ensuite bathroom and a family bathroom radiate off the landing. All the bedrooms benefit from inspiring views across the grounds to the Welsh hills beyond.
