This recently modernised two-bedroom mid-terrace cottage sits in peaceful Colebatch, a short drive from Bishop’s Castle. The house benefits from new double glazing, sizeable front and rear gardens, and a private off-street parking space — an attractive package for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking rural character with practical upgrades. Interior highlights include a cosy living room with exposed beams and a log-burning stove, an Everhot range in the kitchen, and a recently refitted shower room. EPC band D.
Practical points to note: a new external Worcester Bosch oil boiler was fitted in the last 18 months and there is an oil tank to the rear; services information also records electric storage heaters, so prospective buyers should confirm current heating arrangements and running costs. Drainage is by private septic tank and broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect home-working. The property is freehold, has low local crime and good mobile signal, but it sits in a rural/remote community with medium flood risk — buyers should check flood insurance and local advice.
The house occupies a decent plot with long gardens and lovely countryside views — ideal for gardening, storage or expanding external living space. Internally the footprint is compact (about 767 sq ft), well laid-out and recently refreshed, yet further modernisation (kitchen, insulation and minor roof/window upgrades) could add value. This is a straightforward, characterful cottage for someone wanting village life with usable outdoor space or a landlord targeting reliable rural lets.
