Jug Bank , Ashley, Market Drayton

Thought to have been built in the early 19th century with later additions, this delightful property offers a good sized family home with an equally good sized garden, located in a most peaceful but non isolated backwater position with fabulous country views. The sought after village of Ashley is within a few minutes drive of Loggerheads and is convenient for the three neighbouring towns of Market Drayton, Newcastle under Lyme and Eccleshall, and close to the county boundaries of both Shropshire and Cheshire.

The property is oil fired centrally heated and double glazed and offers a good sized rear hall entrance with quarry tiled floor and access therein to the country dining kitchen, with further quarry tiled floor, beamed ceiling, granite topped built-in units with inset sink, splashback tiling and open shelving, space for a freestanding Welsh dresser and dining table/chairs. There is a walk through utility area that leads off the rear hall where there is facility for a large fridge freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer and storage.

Leading off the kitchen is one of four reception rooms, currently used as a study/snug with dual aspect windows and beamed ceiling.

If the property was approached from the original front façade, you would enter via a centre hall with Minton tiling and stair leading off to the first floor. There are two similarly sized front facing reception rooms, each with a beamed ceiling, feature fireplace and log burning stove, with the room that connects to the kitchen having an understairs shelved pantry.

The piece de resistance of the ground floor is undoubtedly the large open plan sitting/dining room that has been added in recent years to provide a light and bright contemporary space with large picture windows overlooking the garden and direct access to the terrace. The floor is tiled and has underfloor heating and there is a vaulted ceiling in part.

On the first floor, a centre landing gives access to the four bedrooms and family bathroom. The master bedroom has lovely front facing views, an original fireplace and floorboards and built in wardrobe, and access to its own white and chrome fitted three piece en suite shower room.

Bedroom two is an excellent sized rear facing double room. Bedroom three is a front facing smaller double room with country views and original fireplace, and bedroom four is a good sized rear facing single room with built-in cupboard and wash hand basin.

The reappointed family bathroom has a white and chrome suite to include a walk-in double width shower, low level WC, wash hand basin, dado height tongue and groove panelling.

Outside, traditionally styled modern build brick and tile range of outbuildings, to include an outside WC/store, workshop, fuel store, open fronted log store. Concrete sectional garden equipment store and timber garden shed.

There is a gravelled and gated driveway providing parking space for three to four cars.

The overall plot size is approximately 0.26 of an acre with principal areas being lawned and having a mature and extensive range of shrubbery and perennial stocked borders, together with hedged boundaries, raised patio and terrace areas, pathways, vegetable garden and all enjoying lovely country views.
