    Glazeley Hall Glazeley | Bridgnorth | Shropshire | WV16 6AB Glazeley Hall COVER.indd 3 13/04/2021 08:37 GLAZELEY HALL This imposing period residence started life circa 1700’s as the Rectory for the neighbouring church, which was retitled to that of ‘Glazeley Hall’ in subsequent years. Glazeley Hall COVER.indd 4 13/04/2021 08:37 KEY FEATURES The current owners have sympathetically improved this beautiful property, to what is now an incredibly well maintained and much loved family home, whilst offering modern day comforts and an abundance of charming original features. Sitting within approximately 3.3 acres , Glazeley Hall really does offer something for everyone, from the aspiring small holder, the keen equestrian, or perhaps those wanting a ‘piece of the good life’. The established gardens are superb, having been part of the National Garden Scheme until 2000. Boasting a considerable selection of floral shrubs and borders, along with an orchard and a delightful water garden. In addition to the stunning gardens, a small orchard adjoins three fenced paddocks. The views are yet another incredible feature of this charming home, boasting an uninterrupted outlook over the surrounding countryside and towards the Chelmarsh Coppice. Location Glazeley Hall is situated in a rural setting in the hamlet of Glazeley behind the parish church. Glazeley is located about 3.5 miles from Bridgnorth town centre which provides a comprehensive range of services and transport links. Bridgnorth is well-known for the Severn Valley Steam Railway as well as being split by the River Severn to create High Town and Low Town. Birmingham city centre is approximately 31 miles from the property.
