Set in a peaceful hamlet on the Shropshire/Welsh border, The Olde Chapel House is a charming detached country cottage with generous, neatly landscaped gardens and far-reaching views over open farmland. The house combines traditional character—exposed brickwork, exposed beams and wooden floors—with practical updates such as double glazing and a recently re-fitted first-floor shower room.
On the ground floor a roomy kitchen/dining area with Belfast sink and AGA inset leads to an inner hall and a living room centred on a cast-iron log burner. Three first-floor bedrooms share the modern shower room; built-in wardrobes and exposed wooden flooring add period appeal. Practical outbuildings include an outside utility and WC, garage, store and a separate office ideal for home working or hobby space.
This property will suit buyers seeking a tranquil country lifestyle: families wanting outdoor space, equestrian or countryside enthusiasts, or those aiming to renovate sympathetically. Note key running and maintenance facts: heating is oil-fired to radiators, walls are likely uninsulated solid brick, broadband speeds are very slow and the vendors have advised the house has flooded previously—this is in a designated flood risk zone.
The house is reachable from nearby market towns (Oswestry, Welshpool) and Shrewsbury for more extensive services and rail links. Its large plot, gated driveway and off-road parking make it a rare find in a quiet rural setting, but buyers should factor in flood mitigation, potential upgrading of insulation and energy systems, and restricted broadband when planning future improvements.
