The Gables is a substantial part Georgian residence set in the heart of Wistanstow village which has a thriving community and is surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in South Shropshire. The village has retained many local amenities which include a junior school, a community shop, a parish church and a village inn and brewery of repute.
This house is ideal for anyone looking for space. There is extensive accommodation which combines period character features with modern day facilities. It is believed the property dates back to the late 1800's and has Georgian additions.
There are three main reception rooms. The spacious drawing room is particularly light and airy having three sets of sash windows which overlook the garden. A focal point of this elegant room is the open fireplace with its marble surround. The formal dining room has a flagstone floor, a wide window with shutters and window seat, and a glazed door leading to outside. It also has exposed ceiling timbers. There is a second sitting room, divided into two sections by bookcases. French doors lead to an outside terrace.
