5 bed detached house for sale

Wirswall, Whitchurch SY13

Wirswall Hall is a remarkable five-bedroom Edwardian period residence, built in the 1920s, occupying an imposing position and a rare find on the open market. This exceptional home has been beautifully modernised by the current owner, creating a luxurious blend of refined character features and contemporary design. The property has also had secondary glazing installed, providing enhanced energy efficiency and improved comfort while preserving its elegant original windows. Surrounded by rolling Shropshire countryside with far reaching rural views yet only moments away from the sought-after market town of Whitchurch and a plethora of amenities, the property offers an outstanding balance of tranquillity, elegance and convenience.

The welcoming entrance hall immediately sets an impressive tone. Original dado and picture rails, decorative coving, high ceilings and generous room proportions showcase the grace and craftsmanship of the Edwardian era. Just off the entrance hallway is a well-appointed downstairs WC, perfectly positioned for guests and everyday convenience.

The recently installed kitchen is both stylish and highly functional, finished in a striking deep blue that adds a sophisticated modern edge. High-quality integrated Bosch appliances including an induction hob, extractor, dishwasher and double oven ensure practicality without compromising design. Leading directly from the kitchen, the spacious utility room continues the same elegant colour scheme, offering matching cabinetry, a stainless steel sink, plumbing for a washer and space for a dryer. This dedicated room adds superb additional storage and workspace, enhancing the kitchen’s already impressive usability.

The imposing inner hall is a magnificent central feature of the home. Its scale, elegance and original detailing are beautifully highlighted by the striking mahogany staircase, a true architectural statement that enhances the home’s grandeur and presence.

The dining room is a wonderfully atmospheric and versatile space. Rich parquet flooring, picture rails and a handsome fireplace create a warm, inviting environment. A cosy seating area in front of the fire provides the perfect spot for relaxed evenings, while the generous proportions comfortably accommodate a large dining table, making the room ideal for both informal family meals and more formal entertaining.

The sitting room is a serene and picturesque retreat, filled with natural light and enriched by original beams and picture rails. With its open fireplace and delightful views over the landscaped gardens, it offers a tranquil setting for relaxation. The expansive lounge provides exceptional versatility, arranged into two distinct areas: A snug, firelit corner perfect for reading or unwinding, and a bright, airy section overlooking the gardens. With four generous windows and built-in bookcases flanking the fireplace, the room exudes both comfort and elegance.

Upstairs, five beautifully proportioned bedrooms provide generous and flexible accommodation. The master bedroom is particularly impressive, served by a luxurious en-suite with a freestanding bath, bidet, separate mains-fed shower, WC and wash basin. Bedroom two enjoys its own private dressing room or sitting room, adding further versatility. The remaining bedrooms are all spacious, inviting and filled with natural light, two of which feature fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom is equally well-appointed, featuring a slipper bath, mains-fed shower, WC, wash basin and built-in shelving. A further dressing room is located off the landing, providing valuable additional storage.

Externally, the property continues to delight with its expansive and beautifully landscaped grounds. The large private driveway easily accommodates multiple vehicles and leads to a substantial double car port with an adjoining wood store, which discreetly houses the oil tank. The gardens wrap around the home and have been thoughtfully designed to provide privacy and charm, featuring box hedging, mature planting, lawned areas and enchanting courtyard spaces. The result is reminiscent of secret Tudor-style gardens, peaceful, picturesque and wonderfully secluded.

Wirswall Hall represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly exceptional Edwardian residence. Rich in character, enhanced with quality modern upgrades including secondary glazing and set within idyllic countryside surroundings, it is a home of remarkable beauty, comfort and enduring appeal.
