When countryside views meet exceptional family living — welcome to Hillcrest.
Positioned within an exclusive residential setting on Newcastle Road, this outstanding five-bedroom detached family home enjoys breathtaking far-reaching views across the rolling Shropshire countryside whilst remaining within easy walking distance of Market Drayton town centre and the nearby Shropshire Union Canal.
From the moment you step into the bright and welcoming entrance hallway, the home immediately reveals its sense of space, warmth and quality. To one side, a gorgeous bay-fronted living room provides a superb main reception space, centred around a charming feature log burner, the perfect setting for cosy evenings. Opposite, a versatile reception room currently used as a home office offers excellent flexibility as a family room, playroom or additional lounge.
The true heart of this home lies to the rear, where a stunning open plan kitchen, dining and family living space has been thoughtfully designed for modern family life. Featuring sleek shaker-style cabinetry, granite work surfaces and fully integrated appliances, the kitchen flows effortlessly into both a family dining area and breakfast seating space. Beyond this, a delightful garden room / sun room provides an additional living area bathed in natural light, with every rear-facing space enjoying spectacular views across open countryside, creating an incredible environment for both everyday family living and entertaining.
A well-appointed utility room with extensive storage provides practical access to both the rear garden and the attached garage.
Upstairs, a bright T-shaped landing serves five beautifully presented bedrooms. The impressive principal bedroom features bespoke fitted wardrobes and a contemporary en-suite shower room. Bedroom two is another spacious double with fitted wardrobes and a connecting door to bedroom three, offering excellent flexibility for multi-generational living, dressing room space or nursery. Bedroom four, enjoying views to the front of the property, is a generous double room with both double and single built-in wardrobes, while bedroom five continues the theme of versatility as an additional bedroom, study or hobby room. The stylish family bathroom features both a bath and separate walk-in shower. The attic runs the full length of the house and is currently boarded out to offer useful storage space. Access is provided by a pull down loft ladder and large hatch.
To the rear of the property, the elevated position allows uninterrupted views across rolling Shropshire countryside, creating a truly peaceful backdrop rarely found so close to town.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
