Approximately 0.44 acre plot with mature gardens and fruit trees
Bridge Cottage is a rare, characterful two-bedroom cottage set on approximately 0.44 acres in sought-after Haughton Village, offering an immediate sense of privacy and mature gardens. The house retains original features such as exposed beams, high ceilings, quarry tiled and wooden floors, and open-grate fireplaces that give strong period character.
This detached property is sold freehold and presents substantial scope for refurbishment and extension (subject to consents). The layout includes a lounge, dining room, snug, cellar, kitchen, two double bedrooms and a large bathroom; the generous plot and detached garage create clear potential for reconfiguration or enlargement for buyers wanting to personalise a long-held family home.
Practical points: the house requires comprehensive renovation throughout and is heated by an oil-fired boiler to radiators. It lies on the edge of a conservation area, which helps protect setting but may restrict external changes. Broadband and mobile coverage are available at average/very good levels and there is no flood risk.
This property will suit a buyer seeking a tranquil, village-edge home with wide garden scope — particularly downsizers or those wanting a sympathetic restoration project in a very affluent area with excellent road and rail links into Shrewsbury and Birmingham. Costs and timing for a full refurbishment should be factored into any offer.
