Set in the most glorious slice of Shropshire countryside, East Meadows will fulfil any requirements of a modern lifestyle property. Plenty of good-draining grazing to accommodate horses, sheep and other livestock, also offering the opportunity to grow your own vegetables for a truly self-sufficient, sustainable lifestyle. All paddocks mains water supply and galvanised water troughs.
Walk the dogs on your own grounds!! Enough slopes for your own toboggan run. Ideal for quad biking, trail riding or a cross country course. Perfect for fishing, clay shooting or just chilling at the lakeside BBQ.
The grounds are home to over 800 established trees including mature oak, ash, alder, walnut, cherry, beech, birch, maple, lime, chestnut, willow and poplar with over 1000m of native hedgerows creating a wonderful habitat for bird and insect life. Wild orchids, rushes and bluebells provide the perfect environment for a wide variety of insects.
This is a truly sustainable property with woodland generating enough timber to keep the log burner going in winter and sequestering enough CO2 to offset the oil fired heating. Use a renewables-only electricity supplier for a zero carbon house!
Paddocks/Grazing
There are five main paddocks and grazing fields ranging from 8 acres to 0.6 acres. These are long established permanent pasture fields. Each has post & wire or post, wire and rail fencing along with its own water supply and trough.
Woodland
Approximately 3.5 acres of woodland lie at the bottom of the grounds with a small stream running through. Made up of a variety of native woodland trees ranging from majestic mature oaks to poplar, ash and alder it is ideal wildlife habitat. With pathways cut through it is easily accessible when walking the dogs.
Lake
A man-made lake of roughly 0.6 acres, this body of water holds many fish and features three fishing stages, a floating island and many water plants. Surrounded by trees, amenity grassland and the log cabin it makes an ideal summer retreat. The lake is fed by an on-site borehole when needed and has an aerator for use in hot weather.
Wildflower meadow
An area of 1.2 acres is left to wild flowers. In the spring it is a carpet of bluebells, replaced later in the year by other flowers and brackens.
Gardens
The house is surrounded by gravelled and terraced areas with shrub borders, designed very much for ease of maintenance and perfect for sitting outside on summer evenings. Surrounding paddock areas leave plenty for the keen horticulturalist to extend the gardens. A large vegetable plot lies to the north of the property.
Access
The main gates lead through to both the parking area with parking for 6+ cars and down to the stable yard area and tracks to the fields. Further access to the fields is available from the lane at the northern perimeter of the grounds.
Building Plot (STPP)
A 0.15 acre potential building plot (subject to planning permission) lies adjacent to the property with road frontage. This plot has the same stunning views over the valley as the main house and has many potential uses subject to the usual permissions.
