Full Property Description:

Location

Lyndale House enjoys an enviable position in the heart of Astley Abbotts, a highly sought-after semi-rural hamlet surrounded by picturesque Shropshire countryside. The property is located just a short distance from the historic market town of Bridgnorth and offers convenient access to Ironbridge, Telford and the wider West Midlands conurbation.

The area is renowned for its wealth of scenic countryside walks, cycle routes, outdoor pursuits and the nearby River Severn, providing an exceptional setting for those seeking a lifestyle that perfectly balances rural tranquillity with the convenience of nearby towns and amenities.

Accommodation

From the driveway a pathway leads to the main entrance, where the front door opens into the reception hall. A turning staircase rises to the first floor, with useful understairs storage, a cloak cupboard, and a guest cloakroom/WC. Leading off the reception hall are the principal reception rooms, including a study and a spacious living enjoying a dual aspect. The living room is centred around an impressive feature stone fireplace housing a cast iron log burning stove, creating a warm and inviting focal point. The sitting/dining room also benefits from a dual aspect and features patio doors opening onto the rear terrace, making it ideal for both entertaining and everyday family living. A further feature stone fireplace with log burning stove enhances the character of the room. Positioned to the rear of the property, the breakfast kitchen enjoys delightful views over the gardens. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of matching base and wall units, complementary work surfaces, inset sink unit, and a selection of integrated appliances including an oven, grill, hob with extractor hood, dishwasher, and microwave. Adjacent to the kitchen is a separate utility room providing additional storage and workspace, fitted cupboards, a further sink unit, and space for laundry appliances and a fridge freezer. A door gives access to the boiler cupboard, housing the hot water cylinder and oil-fired central heating boiler, while a further door leads directly out to the rear garden.

The first floor landing features an attractive galleried design. The principal bedroom overlooks the front elevation and benefits from two substantial walk in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, fitted with a WC, wash hand basin set within a vanity unit, and a large walk-in tiled shower enclosure. There are three further generously proportioned bedrooms, two of which feature built-in wardrobes and enjoy pleasant views over the rear gardens. The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising a WC, wash hand basin, corner shower enclosure, and panelled bath.

Outside

Externally, the property is set well back from the road behind a generous block-paved driveway providing ample off-road parking. The frontage is complemented by neatly maintained lawned gardens and attractive planted borders. A large detached double garage benefits from an up-and-over door together with useful mezzanine storage above.

The rear gardens are undoubtedly one of the property's most outstanding features. Having previously been opened to the public as part of local garden events, they have been lovingly designed, cultivated and maintained by the current owners over many years to create a truly idyllic country garden. Enjoying an exceptional degree of privacy, the grounds extend to approximately 0.8 acres and comprise well tendered lawns and winding pathways.
The shaped borders are richly planted with an impressive collection of mature shrubs, ornamental trees, specimen plants and seasonal flowering varieties, providing year-round colour and interest. A central wildlife pond, complete with decorative bridge and fountain, creates a delightful focal point, while numerous seating areas are thoughtfully positioned throughout the gardens to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. A productive orchard contains a variety of maturing fruit trees. Beyond this, a separate courtyard area incorporates two greenhouses and a substantial detached brick outbuilding. Originally forming part of the former stable block, this versatile building benefits from power and lighting, double entrance doors and offers excellent potential for use as a workshop, hobby space/studio, additional storage, or to be converted (STPP).

Combining mature landscaping, exceptional privacy and a wealth of established planting, the gardens provide a rare opportunity to enjoy a beautiful and well-loved outdoor environment in a highly desirable village setting.
