Walford Lodge Dorrington, Shrewsbury SY5

Welcome to Walford lodge, step inside and see the first glimpse of the home's heritage, with traditional beams and soft natural tones leading you inward.

To one side, a study offers a quiet spot for working from home or reading by the window. From here, the layout opens into a beautifully proportioned living and dining space, the true heart of the house. The room stretches over seven metres, anchored by a log-burning stove, exposed timber beams, and doors opening out to the gardens beyond. It's a space that invites gatherings, conversation, and everyday living.

The adjoining kitchen continues the country charm, blending warmth and practicality with bespoke cabinetry, ample workspace, and doors leading directly out to a sheltered outdoor entertaining space, perfect for hosting family and friends throughout the seasons. This covered terrace offers the ideal setting for al fresco dining, evening drinks, or quiet morning coffee surrounded by the sound of the garden.

Off the dining area, a secondary hallway leads to a beautifully designed ground-floor bathroom, featuring a walk-in shower and jacuzzi bath. From this luxurious suite the hallway leads on to a spacious second living room, a light-filled retreat with another log burner, feature staircase and French doors opening onto the garden, It's a room that feels inviting at any time of day, equally suited to cosy evenings or quiet Sunday mornings. This space offers a flexible area ideal for multi-generational living - or an Airbnb style guest suite with complete privacy.

From the main staircase beside the kitchen, three bedrooms and a family bathroom are found above including the serene master suite and dressing room. The second staircase, leading from the far living room, ascends to two further characterful bedrooms tucked beneath the eaves, creating a wonderfully flexible arrangement that naturally lends itself to family living, guest accommodation, or multi-generational use.
