Sellers Insight - Earlston Park is an impressive home in a quiet cul de sac, within easy walking distance of Shrewsbury town centre. Twenty-six years ago the present owners were thrilled to find a new build, which had the generous space and potential to alter and adapt to changing family needs. It has more than fulfilled its promise, as the house is currently home to three generations. It is a superb family residence.
The owners have created an open plan living space which is the sociable hub of family living where everyone can relax and enjoy the light-filled and positive ambience. The favoured zone is the orangery, where the underfloor heating enables a cosy place, where you can savour the winter view to a pretty frost-covered garden.
The house has always welcomed people and provides easy entertaining. You can settle for coffee and chat around the breakfast bar in the kitchen area, or gather for a large family occasion around the dining table; whilst the snug is perfect for TV viewing. The separate sitting room can be a downtime space or a chic area for more formal entertaining.
The pretty, private garden was landscaped by the present owners who gave the house its name, "The Laurels." It is an outside entertaining and relaxing area where you can enjoy a summer glass of wine on the patio, have an alfresco meal and in cooler weather enjoy the warmth of the fire pit. The garden continues the welcoming and positive spirit of the house.
The house is perfectly located, to provide the best of town and country living. You can walk from the house down into the town, crossing The Welsh Bridge, to stroll along charming River Severn walks, or experience the many cultural, historic and retail opportunities the town offers. If you feel like a country stroll, then the glorious Shropshire countryside is a short walk from the front door.
The owners will miss the tranquillity and great comfort of the house, which has been ideal for both a couple and a family. They take away many very happy memories of a much loved and happy home.
