- Multiple outbuildings, double garage; potential to develop (subject to PP)

Set in a very large private plot with far-reaching views over Wenlock Edge, this period detached house and adjoining Mount Cottage have been recently renovated and present as versatile country accommodation. The main house offers character features — exposed beams, feature brick fireplace and a dual-reception layout — alongside a refitted kitchen, utility and modernised bathrooms. Mount Cottage is finished to a high standard and currently operates successfully as a holiday let, providing immediate rental income or useful ancillary space for family use.
The site includes extensive outbuildings, double garaging, a car port and gated parking with a long private drive. The mature rear lawn and paddock extend to open fields and create privacy and excellent outdoor amenity for family life or small-scale equestrian/hobby use. Mains water and electricity are connected; sewage is to a septic tank. Broadband speeds are fast and the village location gives convenient access to Shrewsbury, Telford and nearby services.
Practical considerations are straightforward: heating is by LPG boiler and radiators (not a mains gas supply), windows are replacement double glazing installed before 2002, and the property’s solid brick fabric is likely to require ongoing maintenance and may offer limited cavity insulation. There is scope to develop the outbuildings subject to planning permission, but any conversions would require consent and likely services updates.
This property will suit a buyer seeking a substantial rural family home with separate income potential, or an investor looking for holiday‑let revenue and development upside. It blends character and recent modernisation with age‑related maintenance typical of pre‑1900 buildings — a balance that rewards buyer attention to long‑term running costs and planning possibilities.
