Damson Cottage is a substantial three-bedroom detached farmhouse set on approximately a third of an acre, ideal for families seeking rural space with strong energy credentials. The house offers a traditional layout with multiple reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room enjoying a sunny southerly aspect, and a master bedroom with en-suite. Large windows and a south-facing aspect deliver expansive views over pastureland toward the Clee Hills.
Practical strengths include 14 fitted solar panels with 12 kW battery storage and remote-controlled Fischer electric heaters, which reduce reliance on mains gas. The detached double garage has a loft room above, offering clear scope for conversion to an office or ancillary accommodation (subject to consent). The cottage garden features herbaceous borders, stone walls and shaped hedges, and the plot size provides privacy and room for outdoor activities.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: the property uses electric heating which can be costly without careful management despite solar support; broadband speeds in the area are very slow, so remote working may require alternative connectivity solutions; and council tax is described as expensive. Any buyer wanting to extend or convert the garage should factor in planning and conversion costs.
Located on a peaceful rural lane yet only a short drive from Codsall and Albrighton, the property balances countryside living with access to local shops, good schools and rail links to Wolverhampton and Birmingham. For families wanting substantial outdoor space, strong energy features, and conversion potential, Damson Cottage is a compelling countryside home, provided the heating and connectivity considerations are acceptable.
