This two-bedroom period terrace in Cross Houses offers authentic character and a large private garden, sold with no upward chain. The living room features an inglenook-style fireplace and log burner; a second reception room provides flexible living or dining space. Double glazing has been installed since 2002.
The cottage is compact (about 588 sq ft) and was built before 1900 with solid brick walls that are assumed uninsulated. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the EPC is E, so energy bills and modernisation should be considered. The kitchen and some finishes would benefit from updating to improve comfort and efficiency.
Outside, the substantial mature garden with three sheds is a standout asset — ideal for gardeners or families who need storage and outdoor space. The location is village-centred with low crime, good broadband, average mobile signal and regular buses to Shrewsbury, making it practical for commuters or those wanting rural life with town access.
This home suits a first-time buyer or couple seeking character and scope to add value through sympathetic refurbishment. Be aware of the property’s compact footprint and likely need for insulation, heating upgrade, and cosmetic work when budgeting.
