About
A comprehensively renovated four-bedroom period town centre home boasting over 2,100 sq ft of beautifully reimagined living accommodation, alongside ample parking and attractively landscaped gardens; conveniently situated in a delightfully secluded position within the heart of Ellesmere.
Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer The Old Padlock, 14a High Street, in Ellesmere for sale by private treaty.
The Old Padlock is a particularly appealing and deceptively spacious period property occupying a convenient position in the heart of Ellesmere.
Extending to approximately 2,163 sq ft, the property has been comprehensively renovated and beautifully presented throughout, combining the character of the original building with an excellent standard of contemporary finish.
Arranged over four levels, the accommodation provides four bedrooms, generous living space, three well-appointed bath/shower rooms and useful cellar accommodation.
Externally, the property benefits from attractive and recently improved enclosed gardens, including gravelled seating areas and a generous lawn, providing an unusual amount of private outside space for such a central town position.
Offered for sale with no onward chain, Old Padlock represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and ready-to-occupy home within Ellesmere.
Situation - The Old Padlock is positioned in particularly secluded yet convenient location within the heart of the historic market town of Ellesmere, which boasts a range of day-to-day amenities, including Schools, Supermarket, Public Houses, Medical Facilities, and a range of independent shops.
Ellesmere is renowned for its Mere, a glacial lake which forms the focal centre of the town and provides opportunities for walking and enjoying the beauty of the landscape, with further walks available along the local branch of the canal network and the undulating countryside which encompasses the town.
Further afield, the larger towns of Oswestry and Whitchurch are easily accessible by road, as is the county centre of Shrewsbury which lies to the south and enjoys a more comprehensive offering of amenities, including cultural and artistic attractions.
Schooling - Within a comfortable proximity are a number of well-regarded state and private schools including Ellesmere Primary School, Ellesmere College, Lakelands Academy, The Maelor School, The Madras School, Shrewsbury School, Shrewsbury High School, The Priory, Prestfelde Prep., Packwood Haugh, Adcote School for Girls, and Morton Hall.
Directions - From our Ellesmere office, proceed on foot due east along High Street where, situated alongside ADT Carpets, a walkway leads through to the property.
Vehicular access is provided by turning on Birch Road and then onto Dairy Grove, which culminates at the property.
