5 Bed Detached House For Sale

This impressive double-fronted property, exuding Georgian charm, is situated on spacious grounds set above and along Ironbridge Road, between the historic towns of Broseley and Ironbridge. It is believed to have been constructed by Ironmaster Alexander Brodie II between 1812 and 1818. The current owners discovered a stone engraved with "AB1818" on the grounds, which they have thoughtfully incorporated into the lower terrace wall.

Broseley and Ironbridge are steeped in history, with Ironbridge notably recognized as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. The Ironbridge Gorge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is renowned for the world’s first iron bridge, built in 1779.

The property is conveniently located near other notable Shropshire towns such as Bridgnorth, Much Wenlock, and Shrewsbury. Telford, with its extensive amenities and excellent transport links, including rail and motorway access, is just a short drive away. There is good access to the West Midlands via the M54

As you turn off Ironbridge Road, a driveway leads up to the property, passing the gated access to the coach house/double garage and parking area. The drive continues past several outbuildings, including an oak-framed office or garden room, before reaching the main house where further parking and turning can be found.

The front entrance is accessed through a conservatory, opening into a grand entrance hall. This delightful family home is filled with features that enhance its charm and character, such as high ceilings and spectacular views through the sash windows at the front.

The ground floor comprises a drawing room with wood burner and a pair of large windows, a formal dining room, a shower room, and a farmhouse-style breakfast kitchen with a door leading to a side courtyard.

On the first floor, there are two spacious double bedrooms, both offering beautiful views; one has access to a Jack and Jill ensuite. There is also another double bedroom at the rear, currently used as an office, with views of the woodland area to the side, and a separate WC.

Ascending to the second floor, you will find two additional generously sized double bedrooms, each enjoying those magnificent views, along with a family bathroom.

The property truly shines outside, set on approximately one acre of land. The garden is a haven for leisurely strolls, offering various distinct areas, sunny and shaded.

The main garden, a formal lawn, is accessed via stone steps in front of the house. The lawn is level, ideal for garden parties or simply playing family games. The lawn leads to separate areas including a vegetable patch, orchard and a small, wooded area with seasonal pond. A paved seating and barbeque area in front of the office or garden room can be reached from the lawn or via another set of steps from the driveway.

Additional steps lead down from the side of the office/garden room to the coach house/garage. On the side of the property, a further courtyard offers access to steps that wind through the wooded area, where a bench provides the perfect spot to relax and take in the stunning views.
