Directions - Leave Ellesmere via the A495 in the direction of Oswestry and, after around 1.7 miles, turn left (signposted Lower Frankton) onto a country lane. Continue on this lane for around 1 mile until, shortly after passing over a canal bridge, the property will be positioned on the right, identified by a Halls “For Sale” board.

The Property - The property provides principal access via a door positioned to the side of the property, this opening into an Entrance Hall/Boot Room, with windows overlooking the gardens and doors which lead, respectively, into a useful Utility Room which contains work surfaces with planned space for appliances beneath, and a walk-in Pantry. From the Entrance Hall, a door provides access into a glorious Kitchen/Dining Room which serves as the heart of the property and features a modernised fitted Kitchen positioned alongside ample space for a seating/dining area which overlooks, via a full-height window, the gardens.

From the Kitchen, a door enters into an Inner Hallway where stairs rise to the first floor, multi-fuel burner within an inglenook, and an external door provides secondary access onto a front courtyard (planning permission was granted in 2024 for a single storey infill extension), and from where a door leads to the right into a versatile Dining Room, which currently serves as a Family/Hobby Room, with double-opening doors directly onto the gardens.

Also accessed from the Inner Hallway is a generously proportioned and welcoming Living Room with dual-aspect windows, multi-fuel burner, and patio door onto the patio area and garden beyond. Turning left from the Hallway, one enters a further Reception Room which segues into a ground floor Office. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a useful cloakroom with low-flush WC and hand basin.

Stairs rise from the Inner Hallway to a first floor landing, where doors lead into three Bedrooms, all of which enjoys views over the unspoilt countryside beyond, and with the Master boasting an adjoining Dressing Room and En-Suite; with the first floor also comprising a family bathroom, which contains a modern white suite.

Land & Gardens - Yew Tree House is positioned within land and gardens which extend, in all, to around 7.5 acres, or thereabouts; accessed off a quiet country lane onto a generous parking area with space for a number of vehicles, this leading on to a detached double Garage (approx. 5.91m x 5.71m) with power and light laid on.

The gardens are a particularly notable feature of the property and have been lovingly maintained to provide a wonderful accompaniment to the property, with generous expanse of lawn positioned alongside patio areas and a network of mown pathways which meander through a range of established trees and floral beds; all of which is interspersed by a number of versatile outbuildings, with further garaging, general stores/barns, and a architecturally charming workshop which offer scope for a variety of usages.

The gardens culminate to the north at a picturesque Summerhouse with decked veranda which overlooks the beginnings of a tennis court, but which could easily serve to become an overtly equestrian area or sports pitch, and which enjoys a secondary access off the lane.
