Home adjacent to golf course

Ivy Lodge emits character and charm from the moment of approach by a private gated lane.

It is located on the edge of the popular village of Weston, next to the renowned Hawkstone Golf Course, with two 18-hole golf courses and close to the picturesque Hawkstone parkland and follies.

This four/five-bedroom home is found 13 miles north of Shrewsbury and some 6 miles from the market town of Wem. As fascinating internally, the property’s welcome is through a porch with Tudor arched solid oak entrance door, into the hallway with quarry tile floor and sandstone walls to glazing.

Each of the principal reception rooms is accessed off the hall; the lounge features a stone mullioned oriel bow window with stained glass panels and a natural stone open fireplace.  The dining room character is with beamed ceiling, brick fire surround with arched recess housing a wood burner. Adjacent to the dining room is the kitchen well equipped with oil fired Aga, granite work surfaces and extensive units, including island unit.

Opening from the kitchen is a Victorian style Orangery – perfect for informal mealtimes and relaxing. From the hallway the staircase rises to the 1st floor where there is a master room with en-suite, 2 additional double bedrooms and a single bedroom, together with a family shower room.  A 2nd staircase from the hallway descends to a lower ground floor room with good natural light, ideal as a study, or fifth bedroom.

Alistair Hilton, head of sales comments: “This is an utterly charming find, in a splendid location aesthetically providing for a great lifestyle with walks on the doorstep and services close by.

“The gardens are well maintained farmed by a variety of shrubs, with well stocked borders. There is a double garage with a room above, providing for office or studio space; however, with outlooks to the golf course, we might be forgiven for wondering what work would be done!” he adds.
