***VIDEO TOUR AVAILABLE ON REQUEST***Views of rolling Shropshire countryside don't get much better than this!
Commanding wonderful panoramic scenes towards North Wales (Llangollen and even Snowdon on a clear day!) this imposing "gentlemen's residence" is elevated for privacy and occupies a substantial plot with well stocked gardens.
Thought to have been originally built in 1884, this period property was constructed in a Rustic English Gothic style for a local cheese magnate. It was divided in the 1960's to form 3 separate dwellings and still provides spacious room dimensions throughout.
It is located on the outskirts of Ash village, where there is a real sense of community in the form of a local church, village hall, community owned public house, tennis court and bowling green. A more comprehensive range of facilities will be found in nearby Whitchurch and speedy road links ensure swift access to major centres including Chester, Shrewsbury, Nantwich, Crewe, Telford, Wolverhampton and Wrexham. Whitchurch itself is served by its own railway station, which has its own car park.
The property and grounds are in need of modernisation and improvement.
There are two excellent reception rooms, the more formal front drawing room having an ornate open fireplace and original deep corniced ceiling and deep skirting boards. There are original Minton tiled floors to the vestibule and entrance hall and there is a comfortable sitting room. The sense of spaciousness continues upstairs; note even the size of the smallest bedroom! The two front bedrooms take in the full extent of the well stocked grounds with fabulous far-reaching views beyond. Outside, the lovely colourful well stocked gardens are of course particularly noteworthy and are deemed to be a child's paradise!
In summary, Cheriton is potentially an absolute gem: a place in which to unwind, relax and chill out from the hectic life that we have all mainly become accustomed to. It may require tender loving care to bring it into the twenty first century, but as the estate agents say, it is "Location, Location, Location" that really matters.
