17th century farmhouse

Village Farm at Eaton-upon-Tern, near Market Drayton, is a good family home of great character and is enhanced by a large garden with heated swimming pool and paddock.

A former farmhouse, the property is thought to date from the 17th century and has evolved over the years, with many alterations including the addition of a red brick Victorian facade with sash windows.

Village Farm is in the small rural village of Eaton-upon-Tern, nestled in the heart of unspoilt North Shropshire countryside. The neighbouring village of Child's Ercall has a primary school, while further amenities are to be found in the market towns of Market Drayton and Newport.

The county town of Shrewsbury has an excellent range of shops, schools and leisure facilities, while the commercial centre of Telford is 14 miles and from where the M54 provides access to the Midlands and beyond.

The property has four reception rooms, conservatory, five double bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en suite), garage, heated swimming pool, stable, gardens and paddock extending to 3.7acres.

Village Farm is set back behind Victorian iron railings and courtyard gardens extend round the side and back with an attractive gateway opening to the main garden to the other side.

The garden incorporates lawns, flower borders and a heated swimming pool.

Beyond is a partially wooded area with access to a paddock timber stabling.

Village Farm is for sale through Savills with a guide price of £595,000.
