4 DESCRIPTION Stoney Stretton Hall is a handsome, Georgian regency, country house which sits within wonderful gardens and grounds. Grade II listed, the property is believed to have been remodelled in 1831, whilst its origins are thought to date back to the 1600s. Stoney Stretton Hall has an excellent balance of both formal and less formal rooms, ideally suited to both formal and modern day living. A fine portico entrance with paired columns and entablature, offers a beautiful entrance into the main house with many other original features including a wonderful Jacobean staircase which is thought to date back to 1635, original working shutters, ceiling roses, decorative cornicing, sash windows and period fireplaces on both the ground and bedroom accommodation. The south facing drawing room, overlooking the lawn and gardens, has a fireplace with a slate hearth and marble surround, whilst French doors lead out onto the terrace and gardens beyond. The dining room is double aspect with oak boarded flooring and a marble fireplace with decorative ceramic tiles, depicting historical Grecian scenes. To the right of the front door is a library with fitted shelving. Off the drawing room is a sitting room which has views over the gardens. There is a well in this room, which is safely closed off and could be made into a feature should somebody wish to do so. Off the sitting room leads the kitchen, which has been modernised to provide an aspect of open plan. The kitchen is a central feature of the house and has a large central island, a 4 door AGA, a Stoves Range cooker, a good number of units and an integrated dishwasher and fridge freezer. Steps off the kitchen lead into a glazed corridor, providing plenty of light. This leads to the recently added orangery which incorporates a breakfast room. The orangery is a fabulous addition to the house and has underfloor heating, heat controlled glass and double doors which open out onto the terrace and gardens. A great room for entertaining offering a wonderful lifestyle. The underfloor heating continues into the laundry, utility room and boot room which provides access onto the inner courtyard with an integral door leading to the garage. Also accessed off the kitchen is the family room, which has been used as a cinema room more recently, and the rear staircase. 6 STONEY STRETTON HALL YOCKLETON SHREWSBURY 7

There is a separate WC situated next door which may be accessed off a separate door where there is also a separate dressing room/bedroom. This could all be incorporated to make a master suite. Also on the first floor is a separate family bathroom, a further double bedroom with a room off, which could also be used as a dressing room or further bedroom. The second floor has 5 further bedrooms (1 currently used as a sitting room) and 2 further bathrooms. 8 STONEY STRETTON HALL YOCKLETON SHREWSBURY 9
