Set in an idyllic Shropshire village, this Grade II listed detached period cottage offers flexible family living across substantial accommodation. Believed to date from the 16th century, the house retains exposed timbers, beamed ceilings, an Aga-style kitchen and generous reception rooms that suit entertaining and everyday family life. The property sits within very large, well-screened grounds with a horseshoe driveway, double garage, summerhouse with bar and hot tub, and a sizeable outbuilding suitable for a home office or workshop.
Practical details are straightforward: oil-fired central heating to radiators, mains electricity and water, and a septic tank. Superfast broadband is available and mobile coverage is average. The layout is unusually flexible, with two staircases and a large landing room that could serve as a family hub or a play area. Nearby schools rated Good and easy road links to Telford and Shrewsbury make this appealing for families seeking a rural setting with commuter access.
Important considerations: Grade II listed status means alterations will be restricted and may complicate extensions or modernization works. The house is timber framed with solid brick walls and is likely to need sensitive, specialist maintenance and potential upgrading in places. Heating is oil-fuelled, which has ongoing running costs, and there is a septic tank rather than mains drainage. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
Overall this is a rare, character-rich family home on a large private plot with immediate outdoor amenities and scope for careful updating. It will suit buyers who value historic fabric and generous grounds and who are prepared for the maintenance, planning constraints and running costs that accompany a listed rural property.
