Daniel James Residential are delighted to bring to the market The Knoll, a characterful four-bedroom detached family home distinguished by its arched, sunshine-yellow front door, twin bay windows and dormer frontage, a warm and instantly welcoming first impression that sets the tone for the rest of the house.
Behind that facade lies a home which has been comprehensively upgraded by its current owners without losing any of its original charm. A new central heating system, replacement double-glazed windows and doors, and a bank of photovoltaic solar panels combine to deliver genuinely reduced running costs, while the interiors have been refreshed with a confident, contemporary palette that still feels distinctly homely.
Planning permission was granted in 2023 for a further extension to the southern end of the property, offering an incoming buyer the opportunity to extend the already generous accommodation still further, should they wish.
The Property
A part-glazed entrance hall sets a bright and welcoming tone, leading through to an interconnecting run of three reception rooms that flow beautifully for entertaining and everyday family life in equal measure. A versatile dining room opens into a comfortable sitting room, where a multi-fuel burner sits beneath a stone fire surround and a bay window floods the room with light; from here, glazed doors lead through to a vaulted, triple-aspect garden room, its full-height windows and French doors framing the countryside beyond and offering direct access out onto the terrace and gardens.
The kitchen/breakfast room has been stylishly refitted with a soft sage-toned shaker kitchen incorporating an Everhot range cooker, generous run of base and wall units, and space for informal dining before a window looking west across open fields. A well-appointed utility room and a further conservatory lead off, both offering additional practical space and independent access to the gardens and driveway.
Bedroom accommodation is cleverly arranged across two floors. Three of the four bedrooms are set at ground floor level, ideal for those seeking single-storey living or additional flexibility, with the principal bedroom benefitting from a smartly appointed en-suite shower room, and the remaining ground floor bedrooms served by a well-proportioned family bathroom fitted with both a bath and a separate shower cubicle. A staircase rises to a spacious fourth bedroom set beneath the eaves, where a bay dormer window frames elevated views over the village rooftops and the rolling countryside beyond.
Outside
The Knoll is approached via a sweeping driveway providing ample parking and turning space, bordered by mature, well-established planting that affords the property a good degree of privacy from the road. The gardens extend around the property and total approximately 0.48 acres, laid principally to lawn and interspersed with generous herbaceous and floral borders, a productive raised-bed kitchen garden, and paved terracing ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining.
A detached brick-built outbuilding, currently fitted out as a home studio complete with power, light and French doors onto the garden, offers excellent scope for a variety of onward uses, be that a home office, studio, gym, or (subject to planning) a self-contained annexe. Further timber storage sheds are also found within the grounds.
Location
The Knoll occupies a particularly pleasant, elevated position within the much sought-after village of Clive, which boasts a range of day-to-day amenities including a primary school, village hall, and church, whilst retaining a convenient proximity to the county town of Shrewsbury, which sits some nine miles to the south and offers a comprehensive range of amenities, including cultural and artistic attractions. Rail links are provided by nearby stations at Yorton and Wem, with the easily accessed A5 and A49 allowing for swift travel further afield.
Schooling
The property is conveniently situated for a number of well-regarded state and private schools, including Clive CofE Primary, St Peter's CofE Primary, Thomas Adams School, Baschurch CofE Primary, The Corbet School, Ellesmere College, Packwood Haugh, and Adcote School for Girls.
Energy Efficient
Perhaps most tellingly, The Knoll's Energy Performance Certificate has been transformed from an E rating to the upper end of a B, a genuinely rare achievement for a home of this style. This has been made possible through the current owners' extensive programme of improvements, including a new central heating system, comprehensive double glazing throughout, and the installation of photovoltaic solar panels. For buyers mindful of running costs and environmental impact, The Knoll offers the rare combination of real character and outstanding modern efficiency.
Agent's Comments
It's rare to find a bungalow of this calibre, so beautifully finished and offering such flexible, single-storey living, sitting on a plot of very nearly half an acre and still within walking distance of the village school and church.
Add to that the solar panels, the new heating system and the live planning permission for further extension, and this is a home that has already been thoughtfully future proofed for whoever buys it next. Homes of this quality don't come up in Clive often, so early viewing is strongly recommended.
Owners Comments
The Knoll is a brilliant property for us and delivers on so many fronts with its flexibility. We have loved living in Clive and will be sad to leave. The village is a lovely place with friendly people and a rural environment that positively encourages you to get out and enjoy its ample charms. We will miss the frequent horse riders passing our front gate and the dog walkers who stop for a chat!
