Childs Ercall, North Shropshire

The property
Holmside is an attractive detached double fronted family home, constructed of red brick and sensitively extended to offer more than 1,900 sq ft of light-filled flexible accommodation arranged over two floors, the neutral décor throughout providing a cohesive and practical environment. Configured to provide an ideal family and entertaining space maximising the stunning far-reaching views over open countryside, the ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall with wooden flooring. The ground floor comprises a triple-aspect drawing room featuring an exposed brick fireplace with a woodburning stove, and a dual-aspect sitting room—currently used as a dining room—enhanced by quarry-tiled flooring. To the rear, a 24-foot kitchen/breakfast room offers chequerboard quarry tiles underfoot, a range of wooden wall and base units, a characterful exposed brick corner ingle with cast iron stove, and modern integrated appliances. The breakfast area provides space for a generously sized table and opens via double doors into a triple-aspect conservatory, complete with a vaulted glazed roof and large picture windows incorporating French doors to the rear terrace. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a useful fitted utility room neighbouring the kitchen/breakfast room and having chequerboard quarry-tiled flooring, walk-in storage, a WC and a door to a rear porch and the rear terrace and garden beyond.

Stairs rise from the reception hall to the first floor which provides a triple aspect principal bedroom, two further double bedrooms, a further L-shaped double bedroom, currently configured as a dressing room, and a modern family bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower cubicle.
