The Leys, Bishops Castle, Shropshire

The property
An exclusive property, 12 The Leys is a stylish red-brick and part-rendered modern family residence, designed and built by the current owner, offering over 2,400 sq ft of bright and adaptable living space set across two floors.

Thoughtfully designed to create a refined yet functional environment for everyday living and entertaining, the home incorporates a range of energy-efficient features, up-to-date amenities, sleek sanitaryware, and a calm, neutral colour palette throughout. Oriented to make the most of the spectacular, far-reaching countryside views, the layout flows from a welcoming reception hall with built-in storage and a cloakroom. The ground floor includes a generous dual-aspect drawing room with a front-facing bay window, contemporary inset wall-mounted fireplace, and bi-fold doors opening onto the rear terrace. There is also a spacious dual-aspect dining room with a front bay window, and a substantial kitchen/dining room fitted with modern wall and base cabinetry, a large central island with breakfast bar, complementary granite and timber worktops and splashbacks, high-spec integrated appliances, and further bi-fold doors to the rear terrace. An adjoining utility room features matching wooden work surfaces and provides access to the garden.

A modern oak and glass staircase rises to a generous first floor landing with further useful fitted storage, giving access to an L-shaped rear aspect principal bedroom with contemporary en suite shower room, and an additional front aspect double bedroom with en suite shower room. Three further double bedrooms, one currently configured as a study, and a modern family bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower complete the level.

Occupying a prominent corner spot and having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached over a gravelled driveway and forecourt providing private parking and giving access to a detached double garage, both flanked by a low-maintenance shrub bed and an area of level lawn. The well-maintained enclosed garden to the rear is laid mainly to gently-sloping lawn bordered by well-stocked flower and shrub beds and features a garden shed/summer house affording far-reaching views over surrounding countryside and a generous paved terrace spanning the full width of the property and accessible from the drawing and kitchen/dining rooms.
