Outdoor Space

Private garden, patio, and covered seating area with picnic bench, shared between the main house and annex. Enjoy countryside views, relax outdoors, and make the most of the fresh air together. An automatic lawn mower may operate occasionally.

Children and infants are very welcome. Please note the property is not specifically childproofed (no socket covers or corner guards), so supervision is required. The house has been a family home to a young child, and we can provide a high chair on request. The annex offers additional space and privacy, which can be especially useful for families. There is a small wildlife pond beyond the fenced garden—this is not accessible from the garden and must not be entered.

Hi - I am Carole and I have a small family of myself, husband and son along with our dog Spud.

We love to travel and have visited lots of countries - our favourite type of travel is cruising and we aim to visit as many countries as possible. We also adore the countryside and taking our terrier, Spud for walks.

Why they chose this property

We love the area of Cloy Lane as it is picturesque and quiet with stunning views of the local area.

We are also close to some amazing local towns, Shrewsbury, Whitchurch and not far from the cities of Chester, Liverpool and even Manchester.

Its a great space for families and friends due to the house and annex with a great open space in the garden for younger members of the family and also to bring your family pet.
