The Laurels is a delightful Victorian house with comfortable and characterful
accommodation that stands in its own grounds. It is approached from the lane
through wrought iron gates that open into a large, gravelled drive. The house
is entered by a small, tiled porch that leads to the central hallway. There
are two primary reception rooms with high moulded ceilings, large windows to
front and side, with open fireplaces that both have striking marble surrounds.
The drawing room and large family lounge both lead off the central hallway
with Minton tiled floor, which continues past the entrance to the boot room
with access to the cellar, through to the kitchen. The kitchen and utility
room comprise bespoke fitted cabinets, with two Belfast sinks and a range of
integrated appliances. From the kitchen the courtyard is accessed via french
windows and a separate back door.
From the hallway a turned wooden staircase rises to the first - floor landing
past an elegant stained - glass window. There are four double bedrooms, two of
which have large marble fireplaces, a large family bathroom, and access to the
loft. Two bedrooms have en - suite shower facilities, with the principal bedroom
also comprising a WC and walk - in dressing room.

The Laurels is
approached over a sweeping gravel drive providing parking for a number of
vehicles. Standing in mature gardens, the house is surrounded by established
shrubs and well - stocked flowerbeds with an expanse of lawn to the front. The
detached garden room with Clearview stove and bi - fold doors provides an
excellent opportunity for home working, a gym or entertaining. The enclosed
rear garden is a combination of terracing and gravelled walkways that lead
past mature shrubs and herbaceous flowering plants. In addition there is a log
and separate garden shed.

The Laurels occupies a wonderful semi -
rural position on the outskirts of the charming village of Astley, only two
miles from the county town of Shrewsbury. The nearby village of Hadnall offers
a range of local amenities including a public house, brew house, CoE primary
school, general store with post office, bowling green, church and village
hall. Shrewsbury provides a further extensive array of amenities and
recreational facilities, with a popular farm shop at Battlefield on the
outskirts of town.

sectors schools including Packwood Haugh, Prestfelde, Shrewsbury School and
