Property description

THINK BIG - Big house, big garage/outbuildings, big gardens, big fields - THINK LILY PIT FARM!Actually, you'll probably get a fairly big ego if you end up buying this lovely home and quite frankly, why not? There is just so much going for it.......For a start, it occupies a generous L-shaped plot with gardens and paddocks totalling an impressive 5.167 acres, so it is ideal for anyone with horses. Not only that, there are useful outbuildings including a substantial detached brick barn, an open-fronted garage and an additional purpose built building with kennelling for up to 8 dogs (including a covered run). The formal gardens lead straight on to the paddock areas and these are enclosed by hedges and are also planted with numerous fruit trees. There is ample parking for all sorts of vehicles such as cars, horse boxes, caravans and trailers.Now for the inside bit. The farmhouse itself has been substantially extended and the new part blends extremely well with the older building, so it 'flows' well and there are plenty of exposed beams, which retain and enhance its charm and character. The spacious reception hall immediately creates a favourable impression, as does the snug, which in turn leads to the study. There is a comfortable sitting room and the real 'wow' factor is the impressive dining room with its exposed brick inglenook fireplace and wealth of ceiling beams. There's even a good sized conservatory which takes full advantage of the views over the rear garden. Most viewers are sure to be impressed by the refitted rustic farmhouse style kitchen which is offered complete with a substantial bright red range style cooker. This room too has a beamed ceiling. Upstairs, all three bedrooms may safely be described as 'doubles' and 2 of them have en-suite facilities, whilst the master bedroom is right next door to the family bathroom. As the landing is so large, it would be viable to create a fourth bedroom if required, such is the versatility of this lovely property. The house itself has replacement uPVC double glazed windows and the central heating is oil fired. It is accessed off the main A495 Ellesmere Road and is therefore well placed for travel into nearby Whitchurch, along with swift road links into Ellesmere, Wrexham and Shrewsbury.
