Outside in the large garden theres a patio area adjacent to the house, lawn, borders and terrace, a brick built shed, polytunnel, greenhouse, summerhouse and timber building with attached carport....ideal for garden lovers..but also providing plenty of space for vehicles on the gravelled area and drive. In addition to the house itself there is the large modern brick building boasting an area of 600 sq/ft, currently split by a studded wall into 2 workshops with power supply with an attached timber store , the tiled roof carrying a large array of solar panels. All in all a spacious property with big potential.
Location
Ashley is a pretty village located between Loggerheads & Baldwins Gate near to the bustling market town of Market Drayton. There is a community centre along with a beautiful church, doctors surgery & two pubs who serve food. More amenities are in Loggerheads, a small supermarket, butchers, post office & doctors surgery. The schooling in the area is also something to be proud of with St Marys School in Mucklestone & Hugo Meynell in Loggerheads, both of which achieved an Ofsted rating of GOOD in 2019! The location is excellent for people seeking a semi rural lifestyle but just a short drive from motorways & train links.
