with an incredibly high attention to detail and which has been improved by the current sellers since that time.

Newport 3 miles, Telford 10 miles, Stafford 14 miles, Wolverhampton 18 miles
Description - The property has been thoughtfully designed with a superb layout of principal accommodation in the main house extending to in excess of 4,500 square feet. The accommodation is enhanced by a substantial Studio Annex providing flexible space suitable for a number of purposes, and a substantial Triple Garage Block – all of which nestle within almost 4.5 acres of tranquil gardens and grounds.
General Specifications - There is a traditional feel to the house with a wealth of oak joinery with pegged mortice and tenon joints having been fabricated by specialist craftsmen. The windows are worthy of special note with bronze architectural casements (in oak frames) by Vale of Grantham – who were also responsible for the casements in the double height conservatory style Garden Room.
The elegant elevations of the house – which have a different character to each aspect – are enhanced by the use of stone with some fine sills and keystones. The theme is carried through internally with a stone framed window providing a delightful internal view along the reception hall from the family room together with much of the ground floor benefiting from Travertine stone flooring.
Sitting comfortably alongside the traditional features are a full complement of modern appointments including individually zoned underfloor central heating to the ground floor with first storey heating from specially designed period style radiators. There is programmable lighting, both internally and externally, and a state of the art ventilation system which recycles the heat, cleans the air and also blows in fresh air.
Accommodation - Meadowcroft is entered through an Oak framed Porch into the Reception Hall which forms a room in its own right with a Minster style stone fireplace and oak pillars. Double doors open into the SITTING ROOM which is bathed in light with an Inglenook style fireplace and an AGA wood burning stove. Beyond the Sitting Room is the double height GARDEN ROOM with a galleried sitting area above which enjoys marvellous views across the surrounding Shropshire countryside. The large main DRAWING ROOM has a light triple aspect with a gothic arched bay overlooking the lawns, oak flooring and double doors to the gardens. Also off the Hall are to be found the DINING ROOM, a sound proofed STUDY, two Cloak Rooms and a Laundry.
The BREAKFAST KITCHEN has a full range of contemporary, gloss fronted wall and base mounted cabinetry with quartz working surfaces and a coordinating centre island with fitted corner oak breakfast table, a range of Siemens appliances and double doors opening into an oak framed porch. An open, gothic arch leads into a BREAKFAST ROOM with windows overlooking the gardens and an internal stone arched window into the hall.
A beautiful oak staircase rises from the Reception Hall to the large Landing with a Study Area and the Galleried Sitting Area above the Garden Room. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM SUITE benefits from double doors with Juliette balcony, twin, fitted Dressing Rooms flanking the stylish en-suite Bathroom with underfloor heating, a freestanding bath, separate shower and twin vanity units. There are FOUR FURTHER BEDROOMS, two with ensuites and there is a well appointed HOUSE BATHROOM.
Gardens And Grounds - Meadowcroft sits within beautifully landscaped gardens which have now reached a state of full maturity. There are private, formally laid out lawns and areas of natural garden and a pond conceal a proliferation of wildlife with a watercourse following the path of the Donnington Wood Canal providing a charming backdrop. The Paddock provides a meadow style setting with a large pond and wildlife inhabitation and would be ideal for use for recreational or equestrian purposes and there is ample space for the erection of a stable block (subject to consents).
There is a DETACHED STUDIO BUILDING with a large room and cloakroom which could be an ideal home office or leisure room and a THREE CAR GARAGE with an ADJOINING WORKSHOP with cloakroom and kitchenette.
Services - There is a 2000 gallon rain harvester tank beneath the drive providing the ability to recycle storm water, there is mains water and electricity, a bore hole, a septic tank, oil fired central heating to the main house.
