Agents note: Foxgloves is situated on Clive Avenue which is a private road. Therefore all residents are responsible for maintenance of the road surface and drains. To this end Clive Avenue Residents’ Association (cara) collects an annual subscription which is currently £200.

Outside, the driveway provides access to ample parking and the integrated double garage. The gardens to both the front and rear are a particular feature, with well-tended rolling lawns bordered and enclosed by woodland, creating a peaceful and secluded setting. The first-floor balcony and rear patio provide excellent space for al fresco dining, while the grounds also include a timber framed summer house, all within an elevated, generous plot totalling 0.63 acres.

The property sits in a secluded and picturesque rural setting on the edge of the historic spa town of Church Stretton. The town is an attractive, small settlement in the heart of the Shropshire Hills National Landscape. This sought-after location offers a good range of everyday amenities, including local shops, restaurants and pubs, and a selection of excellent schools including the outstanding-rated Rushbury C of E Primary School.
The town has its own mainline station, on the line between Manchester and Cardiff, while the county town of Shrewsbury, and the historic market town of Ludlow, with their wide range of shops, leisure and entertainment facilities, are both within easy reach. The town is surrounded by stunning countryside, providing great walking and cycling routes, while there is also the Church Stretton Golf Club and numerous other sports clubs in the local area.
