The Hoo

A detached three bedroomed house, surrounded by farmland and paddocks. With wonderful views in every direction, and mature gardens including fruit trees, this property would suit people looking for a country property that is not too far away from local amenities.

The property is located on the outskirts of the popular village of Preston upon the Weald Moors, about 1/3 of a mile from the centre with its primary school and church, and about 4 miles from the market town of Wellington with its high street shops, supermarkets, train and bus stations. Telford Town Centre, with its covered shopping complex, Southwater leisure development and retail parks, is about 6.5 miles away, as is junction 5 of the M54 motorway.

There is a general convenience store at The Humbers, about a mile away, and a petrol filling station at the Clocktower island in Donnington.

An additional 4 acres of land (field adjacent to the property) is also available, subject to negotiation.
