Garmston, Eaton Constantine, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, SY5

A beautifully presented colt house offering versatile single-storey living which has been thoughtfully extended and updated, living in the heart of the hamlet of Garmston.

Description

Cedarwood is approached through a gated gravel driveway, opening to a landscaped front garden with mature planting, fruit trees and a sheltered terrace for outdoor dining. A double porch with built-in shoe storage cleverly hidden in bench seating sets the tone for the home’s thoughtful design.

Inside, the property flows beautifully, with light-filled rooms and far-reaching views over open countryside.
The open-plan kitchen and dining space is a particular highlight, featuring a large kitchen island, wall and base units, a double sink, and a Smeg cooker. Bi-fold doors lead seamlessly onto the rear patio, ideal for entertaining while enjoying the surrounding views. A utility room with additional storage and garden access complements the space.

The sitting room is wonderfully bright, with dual aspect windows and access to the gardens.
The accommodation is well arranged, with flexibility to suit families, home-working, or guest use. The principal bedroom is a striking suite with floor-to-ceiling windows, a log burner, built-in wardrobes, an en suite shower room, and French doors opening to a private rear terrace. A further spacious double bedroom benefits from direct access to a gym, which could be converted into a dressing room or generous walk-in wardrobe, and also features a fitted wardrobe. Another double bedroom offers excellent storage with two sets of built-in wardrobes, while a single bedroom, also with built-in storage, could equally serve as a study or nursery.

The family bathroom is finished to a high standard, with a walk-in rainfall shower and a freestanding bath, creating a luxurious retreat.

Outside

The outside space at Cedarwood has been carefully designed to complement the house and to make the most of its spectacular rural setting. Approached via a gated gravel driveway, the property immediately conveys a sense of privacy and arrival, with a generous parking area bordered by mature hedging and fruit trees in the front garden.

The grounds are predominantly south-facing, ensuring sunlight throughout the day, and provide a seamless connection between the house and the landscape beyond. There are several areas dedicated to outdoor living, including a decked terrace directly accessed from the principal bedroom, a sheltered patio for alfresco dining, and further seating areas positioned to capture the best of the views.

The gardens are mainly laid to lawn, interspersed with well-established planting and a circular paved seating area which provides an additional entertaining space. Mature hedges and trees offer both structure and privacy, while still allowing the eye to wander over the open fields towards The Wrekin, creating an uninterrupted sense of space and tranquillity.

Practical elements include a large metal shed, ideal for storage, as well as a purpose-built home office with lighting, internet connection and electricity – a perfect solution for those working from home. Together, these features strike an excellent balance between lifestyle and convenience, making Cedarwood’s outside space both functional and idyllic.
