Road links provide convenient access to the motorway network, via the M54 at Shrewsbury (for Birmingham and the south) and the A49 at Whitchurch, connecting Ellesmere to the north (Chester, Crewe, Liverpool and Manchester). Rail services are available at Shrewsbury station (15 miles) providing national and regional rail connections, with direct mainline services to London Euston.

There are a number of well-regarded primary and secondary schools in the area including the renowned Ellesmere College as well as a range of quality institutions near Shrewsbury and Chester.

Colemere House Farm benefits from good access and is a short distance off the A528, linking Ellesmere to Shrewsbury. The property is accessed via a private entrance to the house and there are two accesses serving the farmyard to the east and west.

Description

Colemere House is a traditional detached period brick farmhouse offering spacious accommodation, together with a range of outbuildings.

The farmhouse is arranged over two floors, with the main entrance on the east elevation. On the ground floor are two reception rooms, both featuring sash windows and a fireplace. The ground floor also comprises a study with access onto the garden, a dining room with AGA which leads to a former pantry and store rooms. The kitchen completes the ground floor, with a rear entrance providing direct access to the adjoining outbuildings.

The first floor offers four double bedrooms and a family bathroom. There is an additional bedroom accessed from the kitchen. The second floor comprises two attic rooms with potential for further accommodation, subject to improvement and the necessary consents.

Colemere Farmhouse is a characterful period property offering significant potential. The house requires modernisation throughout and, subject to the appropriate planning permissions, could be further extended on the second floor to create additional bedrooms.

Gardens and grounds surround the farmhouse.
