Spenford House, Loppington, Shrewsbury, SY4 5NG

Occupying approximately 0.64 acres of beautifully maintained gardens and grounds, with far-reaching countryside views, this exceptional home enjoys the feel of a rural retreat whilst remaining at the centre of village life.

Believed to date back to at least 1640, Spenford House has been sympathetically restored and enhanced by the current owners, preserving its rich character whilst introducing stylish interiors.

From its striking timber-framed façade and historic brick chimneys to its elegant living spaces and landscaped gardens, the property offers a rare blend of history, charm and practicality.

The exposed timber frames and reclaimed oak flooring of this impressive central space showcase the living history of this historic building.

French windows open to the gardens and views over the Shropshire countryside.

A sweeping gravel driveway providing extensive parking and access to the triple oak-framed garage.

Above the garage is additional accommodation with a bathroom, offering potential as a home office, gym or studio. Further outbuildings provide plenty of additional storage and workshop space.

The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped with mature planting and a variety of areas for relaxation and entertaining.

Two separate decked seating areas have been positioned to make the most of both the far-reaching countryside views and the more private corners of the grounds.

Flexibility and Future Potential One of the defining features of Spenford House is its versatility.

Two bedrooms within the main house are currently used for Bed and Breakfast accommodation, demonstrating the property's potential to generate supplementary income while retaining its character as a private family home.

The opportunities extend further still.

Planning permission has been granted for the conversion of an existing building into a self-contained oak-framed annex, creating exciting opportunities for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, home working, additional leisure space or as a holiday let.

Approved plans additionally provide scope to extend into the adjoining patio area, creating a larger open-plan living and entertaining space.
