Situated on the tranquil fringes of Little Minsterley, Gylands is a substantial and exceptionally attractive four-double-bedroom detached residence. Tucked away on a remarkably private, south-aspect plot, this individually designed home blends modern interior styling with the charm of its natural surroundings, offering exceptionally spacious accommodation and thoughtfully landscaped grounds.

Approached via a secluded access, the plot is fully enclosed by a high laurel hedge and a traditional five-bar gate. A large gravel driveway curves generously toward the front of the home, providing extensive off-road parking with neatly maintained lawns sweeping along the right-hand side. A block-paved path guides you to the formal entrance, framed by mature greenery and offering a wonderful sense of privacy right from the outset.
The front door opens into a light and open entrance hallway, a welcoming central hub from which all primary ground-floor rooms lead. Beautiful parquet flooring flows from the hall directly into the kitchen and dining spaces. The modern two-tone kitchen is fitted with stylish navy blue and light grey shaker-style units complemented by sleek white quartz work surfaces and fully integrated appliances. An L-shaped worktop extends into a practical breakfast bar area, while the adjoining dining area features an exposed brick fireplace with a Clearview log-burning stove and double doors opening directly to the garden. Leading off the kitchen, the utility room offers plumbing for laundry appliances, a composite sink with mixer tap, a side access door, and an internal door into the integrated garage.
The ground floor continues to impress with its depth of living space. The spacious lounge features parquet flooring, a log-burning stove set upon a slate hearth, and a large sliding door opening out onto the rear terrace. A separate, formal dining room with wooden flooring boasts two sets of double-glazed doors that fill the room with natural light and offer seamless access to the garden. To the front of the property, a dedicated home office features a bright bay window and a side entrance door, while a practical downstairs cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin completes the ground-floor layout.
Upstairs, the expansive floor plan accommodates four generous double bedrooms. The principal master bedroom overlooks the garden through three separate windows and benefits from built-in fitted wardrobes along with its own private en-suite shower room. The three additional double bedrooms are well served by both a dedicated family shower room and a main family bathroom, providing complete convenience for busy households.
The rear south-facing garden is a true highlight of the property, offering an exceptionally private sanctuary that captures the sun throughout the day. The thoughtfully landscaped grounds feature a sprawling formal lawn, a peaceful nature pond, and a large wooden pergola draped in mature, flowering wisteria that provides ideal shade for al-fresco dining. Productive apple trees and an attractive weeping silver birch enhance the natural setting, while rolling Shropshire countryside creates a picturesque backdrop beyond the boundary.
Gylands enjoys a premier position in a quiet, "tucked away" location that feels blissfully peaceful while remaining just moments from local amenities. Minsterley and neighbouring Pontesbury provide a rich array of day-to-day facilities, including a medical centre, dentist, supermarket, traditional butcher, bakery, and highly regarded schooling such as Pontesbury Primary School and Mary Webb Secondary School.
