Full description

This imposing Georgian period residence stands in a acre of ground in the heart of the ever popular village of Aylburton. It is a substantial dwelling that does require investment to return it to its former glory and re-establish it as one of the most important houses in the village. The accommodation is spacious‚ in keeping with a building of this stature. Generous reception rooms‚ high ceilings with artistic coving‚ deep skirting‚ sash windows with working shutters and marble fireplaces‚ just some of the features that retain the character of this remarkable property. A walled garden is adjacent to the house. There are several outbuildings, including a coach house with potential to convert, a stone barn, a log store and a detached double garage block. The garden is a good level plot with a bright south facing aspect and a beautiful view over open fields towards the River Severn. The property is available with 'No Onward Chain'.
