Set back from a country lane, this extended three-bedroom semi-detached cottage offers generous room proportions and a large south-facing garden. The layout includes a substantial sitting room with French doors, a kitchen-diner, utility, two bathrooms and three large double bedrooms — good space for family living or home-working. The property is offered chain free, with countryside views and easy access to local walks and nearby schools.
The house requires significant updating throughout: systems such as oil-fired heating, an uninsulated cavity wall (assumed), and an older septic drainage system will need review or replacement. Windows are double glazed but install dates are unknown. Renovation scope presents an opportunity to modernise the interior, improve energy performance and add value.
Practical advantages include a double/integral garage, tarmac driveway, mature garden with vegetable patch, and fast broadband in a low-crime, affluent rural area. Commuters have reasonable access to the A5 and Shrewsbury for shops, rail and additional services. Buyers should note average mobile signal and that services mentioned have not been tested.
This property will suit buyers seeking countryside living with scope for improvement — families wanting space, purchasers looking to personalise a home, or investors prepared to refurbish. The combination of size, garden and garage makes it a solid project with clear potential, provided the renovation requirements are factored into budget and timescale.
