From the Shrewsbury by-pass, take the B4386 signposted towards Montgomery. Continue for approximately 3.5 miles, passing through the village of Yockleton. Upon leaving the village, turn right at the fingerpost sign indicating The Church. Continue along this lane, where The Old School House will be found on the right-hand side.

SITUATION
The Old School House enjoys a peaceful rural setting within a small hamlet, surrounded by attractive open countryside and far-reaching views. Despite its tranquil location, the property is only a short distance from the county town of Shrewsbury offering an excellent balance of countryside living with convenient access to amenities. The surrounding area offers excellent opportunities for outdoor pursuits, with scenic walking routes and rolling countryside in all directions. Road connections are strong, with the A5 and M54 providing access towards Telford, Birmingham and the wider motorway network, and a mainline railway station available in Shrewsbury.

DESCRIPTION
The Old School House is a handsome and thoughtfully converted property, situated in a peaceful position on the outskirts of Yockleton, just a short distance from the county town of Shrewsbury. Offering a wonderful blend of period charm and modern comfort, the property provides well balanced accommodation across two floors and has served as a much-loved family home.

Retaining a wealth of character, including high ceilings and exposed beams, the property has been carefully designed to maximise both light and space. At its heart lies a beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a range of quality units and integrated appliances, providing an ideal space for everyday living and informal dining. Across the hallway is a practical utility room, along with useful space for coats and boots, ensuring excellent functionality.

The principal reception spaces are both generous and inviting. The sitting room enjoys a warm atmosphere, enhanced by a charming log-burning stove and French doors opening onto an attractive flagged seating terrace.

Double doors lead through to a more formal dining room, ideal for entertaining. In addition, a separate snug or home office is situated beyond an inner hallway, providing a versatile retreat with views across
the rear gardens. A ground floor W/C completes the accommodation.

To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, all filled with natural light. The principal bedroom benefits from en suite facilities and delightful views toward the village church, while a guest bedroom at the opposite end of the house also enjoys its own en suite and outlook over the front gardens and surrounding countryside. Two further bedrooms, both featuring high pitched ceilings and exposed beams, are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

OUTSIDE
The Old School House is approached via a large tarmacadam driveway, providing ample parking for several vehicles. A detached double garage is positioned to the northern boundary, complemented by a useful attached garden store and shed.

The gardens wrap attractively around the property, with well-positioned seating areas on three sides, offering excellent opportunities for al fresco dining and outdoor enjoyment throughout the day. To the rear, a generous level lawn is enclosed by panel fencing, creating a safe and private space.
