The Foxlands is an extended property on the edge of the Weston Park Estate, surrounded by gardens and woodland, and
including a lake. The five bedroomed property includes three reception rooms, two bathrooms as well as a double garage
and multiple outbuildings.

The Foxlands is a significantly extended property, originally a pair of cottages dating from the 18th Century. The family home is
generously proportioned with plenty of retained period features, including ceiling beams, tiled flooring, latch and brace doors
and exposed brickwork. Modern additions such as the replacement bathrooms and kitchen, have been sympathetically
incorporated, retaining the country period character of the property, whilst providing a comfortable living environment which is
easy to maintain. Situated on the edge of the historic Weston Park Estate, this property is surrounded by sweeping gardens
and woodland, which include a lake and the river Worfe, which meanders along the south western boundary. The property
enjoys a peaceful and private outlook, tucked away from the main road, yet within easy commuting distance of the nearby
villages and towns.

Tong Forge is a small hamlet, close to the larger town of Shifnal, which boasts a comprehensive range of local, everyday
facilities, with a good selection of shops, leisure facilities and eateries, whist the further and more comprehensive amenities
afforded by the former new town of Telford, Wolverhampton City Centre and historic market town of Bridgnorth are all within
convenient travelling distance. The area around Tong Forge is particularly well served by schooling in both primary and
secondary sectors (including grammar schools in nearby Newport, Stafford and Wolverhampton) and is excellent for
commuting, with rail services running from Shifnal station having mainline connections at Wolverhampton. Stafford main line
station also provides regular services to London, Euston, Manchester and Liverpool. The nearby A41 affords access to the
M54 at Junction 3, facilitating fast access to Shrewsbury, Birmingham and the West Midlands conurbation, and also to the M6,
via the nearby A5 main road.

Briefly, the well-proportioned and flexible accommodation comprises, Reception Hall, Lounge, Sitting Room, Dining Room,
Breakfast Kitchen and Cloaks/WC to the ground floor, Master En-Suite Bedroom, Four Further Bedrooms and a Family
Bathroom to the first floor. Outside, the facilities include a double garage, brick built potting shed and additional brick built
office, having power and light as well as two timber sheds. The sweeping driveway ends in a turning area, providing off road
parking for several vehicles.
