Description:
AN IMPOSING AND DESIRABLE LISTED GRADE II * DETACHED COUNTRY HOUSE OF 16TH CENTURY ORIGINS WITH LATER ADDITIONS AND GOOD SIZED GARDENS LOCATED IN A DESIRABLE UNSPOILT RURAL VILLAGE.
LOCATION
From Shrewsbury take the A458 Bridgnorth road heading towards Much Wenlock. Continue through the villages of Cross Houses and Cressage and having passed through Cressage continue for 1.5 miles taking the first available right turn towards Harley. Shortly after take the next right turning and continue along this road for approximately 0.25 mile and take the left turn signposted Hughley. Proceed straight on for approximately 3 miles until the next t-junction and turn left. Follow this road down into the village and continue past the church on the left hand side following the road round a right hand bend followed by a left where the property will be found on the left hand side clearly identified by a Halls for sale board (to be verified).
SITUATION
The Old Hall is situated in the delightful and unspoilt village of Hughley, which is surrounded by most attractive open countryside, while being close to the well known scenic Wenlock Edge. The surrounding country lanes provide delightful walking opportunities and the nearby historic market town of Much Wenlock with its quaint shopping centre provides a range of facilities including schools, a selection of shops, pubs etc. In Much Wenlock a road links through to Ironbridge and thereon to Telford and the M54 motorway. To the north lies the county town of Shrewsbury and its many facilities including a rail service. To the south lies Bridgnorth with further road links to Kidderminster and the M5 motorway.
DESCRIPTION
The Old Hall is a listed Grade II * country residence with character which has been extended over the years to provide well proportioned and deceptively spacious accommodation. The original part of the property is believed to date back to the 1540s with an extension then added during the 1580s. A further single storey extension is believed to have been built during the Victorian era. The property provides a wealth of charm and character and incorporates a number of features worthy of note which include numerous exposed wall and ceiling timbers, delightful original oak boarded floors, a number of feature fireplaces and to the family room there are some unique plaster mouldings to one wall. The Victorian single storey extension was originally incorporated into the property but has since been sealed off, however prospective purchasers would be able to reintroduce it to the main part of the accommodation by opening the bricked up doorway. Certain areas of the property may benefit from modernisation and improvement and these would include the kitchen (currently contains free standing units) together with some of the bedrooms. Outside there is a generous driveway which leads to a large garage/workshop whilst the gardens which are generous in size provide a number of floral and herbaecous beds together with a rose garden and areas laid to lawn. The gardens may require some attention and would allow prospective purchasers the opportunity to introduce their own ideas.
