Spacious home near Shrewsbury sitting within eight acres and with links to the Spanish Armada hits the market

Hollies in Bings Heath has been described as a "rare and unique lifestyle opportunity" by estate agents Roger Parry & Partners.

The large four-bedroom family home that is set within approximately eight acres of land has hit the market for offers in the region of £1,250,000.

Remarkably, some of the home's original beams and trusses are said to have been obtained from the Spanish Armada. 

But, as well as its historic features, the property has been described as "exceptionally spacious" and offers a "plethora of future potentials and opportunities"

Boasting a private rural location, Hollies features large mature gardens, an orchard, and pasture fields with two natural lily ponds.

The property also boasts a large equestrian building and timber Dutch barn which have been used for equestrian purposes, and the listing says the buildings "have potential for conversion".

Moreover, the home also has a static caravan which has recently been refurbished. The listing adds that this offers an "excellent additional form of accommodation".

Hollies is approached by a quiet lane. Gardens with gravel seating areas surround the property, giving a selection of spaces for the homeowner to enjoy countryside views. 

The orchard also provides many delights including cooking apples, pears, plumbs, and cherries.

Meanwhile, the two lily pools/ponds are "full to the brim" with white lotus bearing flowers, and offer a pleasant area to relax. 

The listing states: "Hollies is an exceptional example of modern country living providing a rare opportunity to purchase a light and spacious four-bedroom, detached family home set within eight acres of beautiful gardens and pasture fields. 

"The Hollies was architecturally designed and virtually rebuilt in 2006 by the current vendors who created a large family home, giving it a modern day feel, whilst retaining the original features. The property has been tastefully extended and modernised over time. 

"Its original features include inglenook fireplaces, original beams and trusses throughout the property, some of which are said to have been obtained from the Spanish Armada in the early 1800’s."
