37 Christine Avenue, Wellington, Telford, Shropshire, TF1 2DX

This remarkable five-bedroom detached home combines the generous proportions and character of a period property with an imaginative contemporary extension and an exceptional interior finish. Every part of the accommodation has been carefully considered for modern family life, resulting in a home that is both highly practical and wonderfully individual. Its distinctive design has also earned recognition in several national magazines.

At the heart of the property is a spectacular open-plan kitchen/dining/family room—a beautifully sociable space designed for everyday living and entertaining. Limestone flooring runs throughout, while the bespoke hand-painted kitchen incorporates solid timber cabinetry, a walk-in breakfast pantry and an impressive central island. Granite work surfaces, and a Rangemaster cooker to the superb specification.

The dining area enjoys plenty of natural light from sash windows, rooflights and French doors, which provide an easy connection to the garden. Alongside the kitchen is a useful boot room with excellent storage, while a separate utility room includes fitted cabinetry, granite work surfaces, a Belfast sink and space for laundry appliances. A guest cloakroom completes this part of the ground floor.

There are two further reception spaces, each offering its own distinctive atmosphere. The front sitting room retains much of the home’s period charm, with a bay window, wooden flooring, decorative panelling, picture rails, a feature fireplace and bespoke storage built into the alcoves.

At the rear, a more relaxed lounge opens into a contemporary garden room, where a striking full-height window frames views across the landscaped grounds. A log-burning stove and wall panelling bring warmth and character to this impressive space.

The reception hallway provides an attractive introduction to the home, featuring oak parquet flooring, useful understairs storage and views towards the galleried landing above.

Upstairs, the accommodation is arranged around the spacious landing and includes five well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom forms a superb private suite, complete with an extensive dressing area and fitted wardrobes. Its luxurious en-suite is a real highlight, featuring a freestanding copper bath and a generous double walk-in shower.

A second bedroom has the benefit of its own en-suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully finished family bathroom. An exposed brick wall adds character, complemented by a double vanity unit, bath and separate shower.

The outside space has been created with entertaining and low-maintenance enjoyment in mind. Two substantial Indian sandstone terraces offer different places to sit throughout the day, while the outdoor kitchen, complete with porcelain worktops and adjoining decking, provides a fantastic setting for summer gatherings.

A detached garden room is currently arranged as a home office but could work equally well as a gym, studio or hobby room. At the front, the large gravel driveway provides extensive parking for several vehicles.

Christine Avenue is one of Wellington’s most established and sought-after residential locations, offering a peaceful setting within easy reach of the town centre. Wellington provides a wide selection of shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday facilities, together with a railway station offering connections towards Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton and Birmingham.
