Situation - Old Hall is peacefully situated within the charming rural village of Lyneal, which nestles amidst the rolling fields of the celebrated north Shropshire countryside, with an array of delightful countryside walks available from the doorstep, most notably around nearby Colemere and the surrounding canal network. Whilst basking in all that's best about rural living, the property retains a convenient proximity to the lakeland town of Ellesmere and the market town of Wem, both of which offer a respectable range of amenities, including Schools, Supermarkets, Restaurants, Public Houses, and Medical Facilities, with the county centre of Shrewsbury lying around 16 miles to the south.

Proceed on this road for around one mile until, just after crossing a canal bridge, a right hand turn leads onto a country lane. Follow this lane for just under one mile and, when reaching a cross-roads in the village of Lyneal, the property will be situated on the right, identified by a Halls "For Sale" board.
