Grade II-listed Georgian mansion in beautiful Shropshire village hits the market for £3.7 million

A Grade II-listed Georgian mansion situated in a beautiful Shropshire village has hit the market for £3.75 million.

The six-bedroom property in Ackleton, between Wolverhampton and Bridgnorth, was commissioned by Roger Eykyn - a famous builder and architect who designed St John’s Church in Wolverhampton and St Paul’s Church, Birmingham.

He built Ackleton House for his own use in the late 18th century.

Marketed by Peter James Property Partnership in Tettenhall, the property has seven bathrooms; a reception hall; drawing room and sitting room both benefitting from a Victorian style fireplace; library area and an expansive and contemporary open plan kitchen dining area.

There is also a double detached garage with a ground floor store room and the first floor is currently an office and shower room, but has a diverse range of accommodation options, the listing states.

Outside, there are landscaped gardens with a wildlife pool and water feature; a tennis court, hydro-pool and hot tub, while Ackleton House enjoys views across the rolling Shropshire countryside.

The listing states: “Ackleton House enjoys a picturesque rural setting within the sought-after Shropshire village of Ackleton, surrounded by open countryside yet conveniently positioned for access to a wide range of day-to-day amenities.

“While the village itself retains a peaceful and exclusive character, residents benefit from nearby facilities in Albrighton, Pattingham and Bridgnorth, including independent shops, cafés, restaurants, medical services and leisure amenities.

“The village is also home to traditional country pubs, whilst the larger commercial centres of Wolverhampton and Telford provide extensive retail, cultural and recreational opportunities within easy reach.

“The area is particularly well regarded for its excellent choice of schools, making it highly attractive to families seeking both state and independent education. Prestigious independent schools within convenient travelling distance include Wolverhampton Grammar School, Birchfield School, Old Hall School, Shrewsbury School and Adams' Grammar School.

“For younger children, a number of highly regarded primary schools are available in nearby villages including Beckbury, Worfield and Albrighton, while several well-performing secondary schools serve the surrounding area.

“The breadth and quality of educational provision, from preparatory through to senior and sixth-form education, is a key attraction of this sought-after South Shropshire location.”
