Description

Upper Lea is an attractive, period former farmhouse with origins believed to date from the 17th Century. The house, which is not listed, has an abundance of period charm and character with much fine timbering and rooms of generous proportions.

Standing in an elevated position, Upper Lea enjoys beautiful views across surrounding Shropshire countryside with superb formal gardens and an adjoining paddock together with a small copse.

Accommodation

The property is approached through a HALL with decorative floor tiling and double doors opening into the DRAWING ROOM with a heavily beamed and raftered ceiling, a stone, Inglenook fireplace with cast iron wood burning stove and lovely views over the gardens. There is a SITTING ROOM / STUDY with a light corner aspect and a period cast iron fireplace with wooden surround, old pine storage cupboards and ceiling beam. The DINING ROOM has a light through aspect with beams and rafters to the ceiling and a door leading to the DINING KITCHEN which is well appointed with bespoke cabinetry, a four oven Aga set within a recessed brick Inglenook, an integrated dishwasher, an integrated microwave and an integrated fridge, a two ring Neff electric hob, beams and rafters to the ceiling, quarry floor tiling, windows to three elevations and a garden door together with a useful pantry with shelving and granite cold shelf and a small understairs store. A door from the drawing room opens into an INNER HALL with stone floor tiles, a storage cupboard with automatic light, a GUEST CLOAKROOM and a LAUNDRY / BOOT ROOM beyond.

The first floor accommodation is approached via two staircases with the PRINCIPAL LANDING having exposed wall timbering and being large enough to provide a STUDY AREA for those wishing to work from home. The PRINCIPAL SUITE has a large double bedroom with exposed truss and beams, a light corner aspect having lovely views and an EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM with a fully tiled corner shower, WC and wash basin with cupboards and shelving beneath. Adjoining the principal suite is BEDROOM FOUR which is currently used as a dressing room with a range of bespoke wardrobes, exposed wall timbering and a light through aspect. Whilst this room currently is a dressing room and links the principal suite to the remaining first floor bedrooms the existence of the two staircases means that it could equally be viable to be used as a full time, private bedroom.
