River Cottage is a Grade II listed 17th-century stone home set directly beside the River East Onny, offering three double bedrooms, three receptions and characterful period detailing throughout. The house combines traditional features — exposed timbers, inglenook fireplaces, flagged floors and a bread oven — with sympathetic contemporary updates including a well-equipped kitchen and modern bathrooms.
Outside, the large plot and landscaped gardens slope down to the river and overlook a small stone bridge, providing private, tranquil riverside space and attractive terraces for outdoor entertaining. A substantial timber double cart lodge provides secure parking for two cars, boarded storage above and an electric vehicle charging point; there is additional parking in front of the lodge.
This setting appeals to families and countryside lovers seeking space, privacy and direct access to walks and riding on nearby Longmynd and the Stiperstones. Local villages provide a primary school, pubs and community facilities, while Bishops Castle supplies everyday shops and secondary education. The property lies within a conservation area and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, which restricts alterations and will complicate renovation or extension work. There is a medium flood risk on the riverside plot, private drainage, oil central heating supplemented by wood stoves, and very slow broadband speed — factors to weigh for day-to-day convenience and potential improvements.
