A perfect family home or perhaps ideal for downsizing purchasers looking to be closer to Church Stretton's amenities, whilst also enjoying semi-rural village life, No.4 Mount View was originally built circa 1930's and has been upgraded by the current owner within recent years. Relatively efficient to heat and run, the property benefits from Air Source heating, UPVC double glazed windows and external doors, cavity wall insulation, as well as good levels of insulation within the loft, which subject to all necessary permissions, could be converted to create further accommodation if required.
Available to purchase with no upward chain, this spacious, beautifully presented property offers 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and 2 reception rooms, which includes an open-plan kitchen diner. In addition, there is a useful utility, a number of store rooms and a downstairs W.C, while outside there is off road parking and a large rear garden, which backs directly onto countryside. From the property, distant panoramic views to both front and back can be enjoyed across the surrounding hills.
Inside, the accommodation spans across 2 floors and is made up of an entrance hall with stairs rising off to the first floor, a sizeable living room, a light and airy kitchen diner complete with a breakfast island and 'Quartz' worktops, a rear hall which is perfect for hanging boots and coats, a downstairs W.C, boiler room, useful utility and an additional storage room. Doors from both the rear hall and storage room lead outside. Upstairs, a landing area provides access to the loft space and has separate doors leading into the modern bathroom and 3 bedrooms to include 2 large doubles and a good-sized single. All 3 bedrooms benefit from countryside views, while bedroom two also has a built-in cupboard.
Outside, the property has off road parking for 1 vehicle with the potential to create more if required. Additional unrestricted parking is available directly out front. There is a lawned and gravelled frontage, while a side gate allows access out to the large rear garden, which has well-defined fenced boundaries and a hardstanding area in the far corner, which is a perfect spot for a shed, summerhouse or a patio seating area, whilst enjoying views over the adjoining field. Mainly laid to lawn, the rear garden is a blank canvas for horticultural enthusiasts to get stuck into or ideal for children or pets to run around and play in.
