Quietly set on the fringe of Wilcott, this detached two-bedroom cottage offers generous, characterful living across well-planned rooms and a large plot. The ground floor includes a light garden room with panoramic views and French doors onto a sun terrace, a cosy sitting room with exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace, a sociable breakfast kitchen and useful boot room. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom, all overlooking the mature gardens.
The outside is a standout feature — approximately 0.3 acres of lawns, patios, fruit trees, raised beds, greenhouse and outbuildings including a former pig sty now used as a freezer room. A gated entrance leads to a gravel driveway with plentiful off-street parking. The plot’s size and layout will particularly attract garden enthusiasts and buyers wanting rural privacy with scope for further adaptation or landscaping.
Practical points are straightforward: the house is freehold, built before 1900, with mains water and electricity, septic tank drainage and oil-fired central heating. Double glazing was installed post-2002. Broadband in the area is slow and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers should allow for potential energy-efficiency improvements and connection limits for modern home-working.
Overall this is a deceptively spacious, characterful cottage in a sought-after rural location close to Nesscliffe and within easy driving distance of Shrewsbury. It suits families or downsizers seeking peaceful country living with large gardens and clear potential for personalisation.
