Falkland Park, Dorrington, Shrewsbury

Property description
4 Falkland Park is an modern characterful home, showcasing traditional features such as a large recessed fireplace, classic lintels above the windows, and a band of plinth bricks to the exterior—elements typically found in older, period properties.

A brick-built porch provides shelter to the main entrance, which opens into a welcoming reception hall. This central space includes a cloakroom, coat and storage cupboards, and doors leading to the principal ground floor rooms. The sitting room is a generously proportioned reception space, enjoying dual aspects with windows overlooking both the front and rear gardens. It features a fireplace with a brick arch and a wood-burning-style stove set on a slabbed hearth.The updated kitchen/dining room is a stylish and functional space, fitted with an elegant range of units complemented by wood-block work surfaces and traditional artisan wall tiles. A central kitchen island offers additional preparation space, while integrated appliances includes a range cooker. A window above the sink offers views of the rear garden, while French doors from the dining area open directly onto the outdoor space. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room, and through an archway lies a study overlooking the front garden.

A staircase rises from the reception hall to a galleried landing with space for occasional furniture such as a chaise longue. The principal bedroom features a built-in wardrobe and an en suite shower room. A second bedroom also benefits from its own en suite, while two further bedrooms share a well-appointed family bathroom.

Outside
A block-paved driveway leads to the double garage and provides parking for several vehicles. The path to the front door winds through gravelled areas planted with Mediterranean-style foliage, creating a relaxed and inviting approach. It opens onto a seating area beside a mature herbaceous border, designed for year-round interest with geraniums, roses, lavenders, and evergreens. A paved terrace just outside the dining room offers an ideal space for outdoor entertaining, with nearby raised beds for herbs, a kitchen garden, and accessible gardening. The rear garden continues the fragrant, verdant theme, with roses and lavenders creating a tranquil retreat. Trellises at the rear and side support maturing climbers, adding depth, privacy, and seasonal interest. Keen gardeners will also appreciate the timber-framed greenhouse.

Location
The village of Dorrington, on the A49, has a wide range of amenities including a Grade II listed pub, The Horseshoes, a Persian restaurant, a convenience store with a post office, a butcher's shop, and several other small enterprises. The main road links with the A5/M54 to the north-east and the A5/A458 north-west into Wales. The A49 also travels south through Ludlow and Leominster to Hereford.
