Injured in 1917, he was sent home, but returned to France in 1918 as a company commander, only to be killed a week before Armistice Day.
His work recorded the horrors of flooded trenches, poison gas, machine gun fire and intense shelling.
Two of his most well-known poems were Dulce et Decorum Est and Anthem for Doomed Youth.
And now the home he grew up in Oswestry, Shropshire is on the market.
Peter Daborn, from Savills, which is marketing the home, described it as a “special property which is steeped in history”.
Original features have been retained in the Georgian property, which received its status in 2012.
The property, named Plas Wilmot, spans over 4,000 square metres and dates back to the 1800s, reports Luxury Property News.
The house has beautiful sash windows representing the Georgian era along with ceiling rose, high ceilings, coved ceiling cornices and parquet flooring which continues from the entrance hall into the drawing room and kitchen.
The accommodation is light and spacious offering a mix of formal and informal rooms.
The current owners purchased the property about 10 years ago and spent a great deal of time updating the property.
The front door opens into a porch with Minton tiles, where an internal door opens into the entrance hall which has an open fire with brick surround along with a coat cupboard.
The elegant drawing room has views overlooking the gardens to the rear along with French, glazed doors opening out onto the patio and gardens and a further tall sash.
The kitchen has been beautifully modernised and updated and is fitted with a Wren kitchen to include wall and base units, an instant hot water tap, granite worktops, a two oven AGA and a beautiful central island with an integrated dishwasher and Belfast sink.
A door provides access into the conservatory which has quarry tiled flooring and a door leading out to the gardens to the rear.
To the right of the entrance hall is the back kitchen and utility which overlooks the front of the property.
This has been beautifully updated making space for a number of built in units, granite worktops, a NEFF oven with an extractor fan above, two integrated Zanussi washing machines, an integrated fridge freezer, a NEFF microwave and a wine cooler.

All of the bathrooms are fitted with Fired Earth fixtures.
The house is currently empty but is well maintained with a gardener visiting regularly.
The gardens are traditionally beautiful, south facing and mostly situated at the rear of the property.
Laid to lawn, mature beds planted with a number of specimen plants, lavender and roses are set out within a part walled garden along with a patio area.
A large, mature Wellingtonia tree stands proud in the centre of the lawn and a wooden, arched door provides access to the front of the property.
The gravelled driveway continues into a traditional courtyard which includes the original coach house and stables.
These have been converted into a double garage with solid oak doors, the original stables to the side are used as storage/potting shed, an archway with double doors leading to the back drive where there is a further log store.
Within the courtyard is an office with a separate kitchenette and WC. WIFI is attached to this building for home working.

Owen was born at Plas Wilmot, and was the son of Thomas Owen, a railway clerk and former seaman, and Susan Owen, the daughter of former Oswestry mayor Edward Shaw.
He had three siblings and the family later moved to Shrewsbury, where he attended school.
