Five fantastic restoration projects

Fancy getting stuck into a restoration project? We’ve cherry picked five of the best Shropshire homes on the market this week, each of which are in need of a good dose of TLC.

White Rock

White Rock in Llanymynech on the Shropshire/Powys border is a magical compact estate at the heart of which is an Arts and Crafts house with a range of traditional outbuildings, a granary and glorious gardens hidden at the end of which is a gardener’s cottage.

White Rock, while in need of restoration, is a wonderful family house. Built in the 1920s to an extremely high standard, there are block wood floors running through the main reception rooms, leaded windows and oak doors with the original Arts and Craft style door furniture.

A studded front door opens to the hallway off which leads the impressive dining room, elegant drawing room, study, wide south-facing veranda, kitchen, larder, traditionally fitted butler’s pantry and butler’s sitting room.

At present, there are nine bedrooms in total but laid out so the five principal ones could benefit from en suite bathrooms or dressing rooms if required.

Guide price £1,000,000 through Savills on (01952) 239500.
