Description
LOCATION
The Uplands stands in an extremely accessible location on the fringes of Shifnal which is a small country town set amidst beautiful Shropshire countryside and yet which is within easy reach of several major commercial centres. Shifnal itself provides a comprehensive array of local shopping and leisure facilities and there is easy travelling to the more extensive amenities afforded by the former new town of Telford, Wolverhampton City Centre and the historic market town of Bridgnorth.
The town is served by a railway station providing access to Wolverhampton, Birmingham and beyond and the M54 is within easy reach of both Junctions 3 Tong and 4 Shifnal facilitating travel to Birmingham and the entire industrial West Midlands.
The area is well served by schooling in both sectors with Idsall Secondary School being nearby together with Adam's Grammar in Newport, Birchfield Preparatory School in Albrighton, St Dominics High School for Girls in Brewood and the Wolverhampton Grammar School all being worthy of note.
DESCRIPTION
The Uplands is an imposing period house with an exceptionally pretty faade with unusual Victorian Gothic detailing. The house provides spacious living accommodation over two storeys with a magnificent kitchen and living room arrangement coupled with extensive reception areas and sleeping provision. The property has been the subject of many works of refurbishment by the current sellers and is presented in a prime internal condition with fixtures and fittings of quality throughout.
The purpose-built commercial office suite provides a fine opportunity for people wishing to house commercial premises at home and potentially could be used for a multitude of different purposes (subject to gaining all of the usual necessary consents).
The Coach House formerly had the benefit of planning permission for the construction of three two-bedroomed units and it is believed that this planning could be re-instated should purchasers so desire.
ACCOMMODATION
An inviting reception hall with a tall ceiling and glazed Gothic arch double front doors provides a welcoming entrance to the property with doors leading to the principal reception rooms. There is a large drawing room to the rear of the house with two walk-in bay windows with shutters together with a fine period fireplace with ceramic hearth detailing and a solid fuel Jotul stove allied with charming cornicing and dado rails. There is an elegant dining room to the front of the house with three tall bay windows and an impressive scrolled marble fireplace with ceramic tiled hearth and slips and period ceiling cornice and the house further benefits from a study with cast iron fireplace with built-in cabinets to either side. An inner hall leads to the well appointed cloakroom with a modern white suite and also to a large cloaks cupboard. There is access to a lower ground floor cellar with two rooms which has been tanked and plastered together with a storeroom. The focal point of the ground floor accommodation is an absolutely glorious living kitchen and family room with a comprehensive range of units with granite surfaces, a Rangemaster dual fuel stove set within a glass mosaic tiled inglenook style recess with downlighting and an extraction fan, under-mounted ceramic sink, Bosch dishwasher, integrated refrigerator, beamed and raftered ceiling and a sitting area with external door to the rear garden with a wide, open doorway leading to the sitting room with tall doors and windows overlooking the rear garden, a period veined and scrolled marble fireplace with solid fuel burning cast iron stove and ornate ceiling cornice and picture rail. The seating area in the living kitchen opens into a large breakfast room which is of an excellent size with a double glazed front window, door to the driveway and open arch into the laundry and utility room. A modern conservatory has been constructed providing further reception areas with an open access from the kitchen.
(Please note that we are informed by the sellers that there was no planning permission for this conservatory and, should purchasers so wish, they have agreed to remove the conservatory prior to the completion of the sale).
The principal staircase to the ground floor rises from the reception hall leading to the extensive first floor accommodation. The principal suite boasts a large bedroom with an extensive range of quality fitted furniture and a luxurious ensuite bathroom with Jacuzzi bath, separate shower, WC and vanity basin. There are a further four double bedrooms together with a further two bathrooms each with roll top baths and separate shower cubicles, one of which has an adjoining door to a bedroom thereby creating a further bedroom suite with the first floor accommodation being completed by a separate cloakroom.
There is a modern purpose-built detached single storey office block which is currently utilised for commercial purposes but could provide the basis for a variety of different uses according to individual purchasers desires. The front door opens into two open-plan office areas leading to a central corridor. There is a large archive / filing room, three further offices and a boardroom. There is a fitted preparation kitchen area and ladies and gents WCs.
The office block has separate vehicle access spurring off the main driveway leading to an extensive area of visitors parking laid in tarmacadam.
There is a brick and tile Coach House with a large multiple-car modern garage to the front with workshop adjoining. The Coach House provides storage rooms broadly over two levels with a cloakroom to the ground floor and a suite of rooms to the first floor providing the potential for self-contained accommodation. The Coach House would make an ideal annex residence to the principal house. Previously The Coach House had the benefit of planning permission for the construction of three dwellings each providing two bedrooms and it is felt that there is no reason why this application could not be re-instated but purchasers must make their own enquiries with the relevant authorities in this regard.
OUTSIDE
The principal house is approached over a driveway laid in tarmacadam leading through remote controlled entrance gates to an extensive carriage driveway set around a raised circular ornamental pond with a detached, tiled garage. The office and Coach House are approached over a separate spur leading off the driveway providing privacy of entrance. The Uplands has majestic garden areas which are broadly laid to lawn with matured beds and borders and planting including a notable rear garden with an extensive terrace, rose gardens, gravelled pathways and a range of outbuildings.
