Description
The ground floor accommodation is set around the Reception Hall which has a turning staircase to the first floor and access to the Cloaks/WC. To your right is the Sitting Room which has Karndean flooring and window overlooking the front Garden. To your left is the Study and the light and spacious Lounge with double French doors out to the Garden, and an inglenook fireplace housing a log burning stove with an oak mantle over and slate hearth.
The Open Plan Dining Kitchen also has French doors to the Garden, and to the Kitchen area is an excellent range of Shaker-style units with integrated dishwasher, fridge, freezer, microwave, two ovens and an induction hob with an extractor fan over. There's an instant hot water tap to the sink, a peninsular breakfast bar and tiled flooring throughout. The Utility has units and flooring to match the Kitchen, and space for your washing machine and tumble dryer.
Moving to the first floor, and the Bedrooms are set around the central Gallery Landing, which has loft access and an airing cupboard housing the hot water tank. The Principal Bedroom is an extremely light and spacious Bedroom with two double built-in wardrobes, a dressing area with a large double built-in wardrobe and a generous En Suite with both a bathtub and shower. The Guest Bedroom is another large double Bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an En Suite Shower Room with double shower. The three remaining Bedrooms are all doubles, with Bedroom Five currently being presented as a Home Office, making the most of the far-reaching views out over the rear Garden. Completing the accommodation is the Family Bathroom with bath, handwash basin and WC.
The outside space here is very special! French doors from both the Dining Kitchen and Lounge open to a landscaped, semi-formal Garden with flat resin pathways, mature beds, ornamental sculptures (not included) and a dining area and sitting area. A gate in the post and rail fence opens to a huge rear lawed Garden that runs down to the far hedge where you'll find a 'secret' woodland Garden that is a shady space in summer, and where the vendors have enjoyed many a family campout!
And then there's the Summer House... This is an amazing space, perfect for parties, family gatherings, sitting and chilling out at sunset, and it's completely secluded so gives you an "away from it all" feel at the bottom of the paddock. As the Summerhouse has water, electricity, insulated walls and ceiling it really is perfect for all year-round use.
Finally, there's a double Garage with light and power, and driveway Parking to the front of the property for 4 cars.
This property really does need to be viewed to appreciate everything it offers - so please call our the Sales Team in our Market Drayton office to be one of the first to view!
LOCATION The property is situated to the edge of the popular village of Hinstock - which is almost equidistant between the Shropshire market towns of Market Drayton and Newport - the village offers an historic Church, Primary School and Nursery, a Community Run Pub, Village Hall, Post Office/Country Store and a Cricket Club.
There are school buses to the various Schools within the catchment area and Market Drayton and Newport both offer a more comprehensive range of shops and amenities. The excellent access to the A41 means that Whitchurch, Telford, Shrewsbury and Stafford are within commutable distance, as are rail and motorway links.

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).
