Muxton remains a village of character, sitting on the very northern boundaries of Telford, yet with a wealth of local amenities including a doctors’ surgery, primary school, parks, shops, a CofE church and hotel. The property is also located within five miles of the centre of the market town of Newport with its greater range of amenities, schools and leisure facilities. Telford, close by, is a larger town
including a comprehensive covered shopping centre, out of town retail parks, mainline railway station and motorway links. Muxton is also within easy commuting distance of Shrewsbury, Stafford and the West Midlands.

Believed to date back to the 17th century this Grade II listed former farmhouse has been lovingly restored over the years by the current owners to create spacious family living space over two floors. The home offers modern facilities whilst retaining a wealth of character features such as latch and brace doors, beamed ceilings and exposed timber trusses and framework.

The accommodation briefly comprises a good sized Living Room, Dining Room and useful ground level basement/playroom, Breakfast Kitchen, Pantry and Utility Room, The First Floor is accessed via two separate staircases leading to five double bedrooms, including two en-suite shower rooms and a modern family bathroom.
