Summary - THE LITTLE HOUSE, 10 WATLING STREET LEINTWARDINE CRAVEN ARMS SY7 0LW
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Pretty two-bedroom retreat with private garden and character-filled interiors.
Characterful stone exterior and exposed beams throughout
Set on historic Watling Street in the popular village of Leintwardine, The Little House is a neatly presented two-bedroom period home that suits downsizers or those seeking a peaceful country base. The cottage blends original features—exposed beams, sash windows and a stone fireplace—with modern touches such as a contemporary shower room and double glazing installed since 2002. The house is compact (about 888 sq ft) and feels cosy rather than spacious.
The low-ceilinged living room and compact rooms emphasise character but restrict flexible furniture layouts; the property is best for buyers who prioritise charm and low-maintenance living over large, open-plan spaces. Heating is by an oil-fired boiler with radiators and the original granite walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation, so heating costs may be higher than modern equivalents despite double glazing. Council tax is low and there is no flood risk.
Outside, a private rear courtyard leads to a well-established garden with patio, mature planting and a timber shed — a tranquil, secluded spot that extends the living space in summer. Broadband speeds are strong and village amenities, river walks and public transport links (Craven Arms station nearby) make this an attractive base for country living or a holiday-let option.
While beautifully maintained, the cottage’s period construction means buyers should accept typical older-property considerations: limited internal space, low ceilings, solid stone walls with no assumed insulation, and oil heating. For many, the building’s character, village setting and ready-to-enjoy garden will outweigh these trade-offs.
