Description
It’s time to downsize so we’re ready to offer you our superb home with fine views over the surrounding Shropshire countryside - and 165 sq m (1,778 sq ft) of floor area. We’ve been here since 2000, and we recruited skilled architects to help design a distinctive extension built in 2005. Making the most of the south west aspect, our extension is flooded with natural light and uses sunshine to heat water. We have a quiet rural location, but just a mile away are convenient shops in the busy village of Albrighton (for more see www.albrightontourism.co.uk). There are two primary schools in Albrighton and school buses run to Idsall, rated a good comprehensive, in nearby Shifnal. There is also private education nearby, with a local prep school and grammar schools in Wolverhampton and Newport. We’re 1.6 miles to Albrighton station with trains to Birmingham (34 minutes), Telford (13 minutes), Shrewsbury (37 minutes), Wolverhampton (15 minutes), and London (2 hours 11 minutes). It’s 5 minutes drive to junction 3 on the M54 motorway with quick links to the new Jaguar engine plant at junction 2 and on to the national motorway system. We are opposite to David Austin Roses and near to the defence training college and celebrated museums at RAF Cosford. If tennis is your thing, you’ll take a 5-minute stroll down to the all-weather courts beside the Cricket Club. And of course it’s straight out of the door to your choice of country walks.
We have off-street parking with space for comfortably 6 cars.
