Heart of Ironbridge World Heritage Site location
A charming one-bedroom cottage right in the heart of Ironbridge, offered freehold and currently operating as a holiday let. The property retains period character—exposed solid brick walls, a cosy sitting room with a log burner and a bright first-floor bedroom with dual-aspect windows. At about 482 sq ft it’s compact but well planned, with a fitted kitchen and a modern shower room.
Outside, a private rear garden has defined seating and planted beds, reached via a back gate onto New Road. The cottage sits within the Ironbridge World Heritage Site, a strong draw for short-term rental guests and buyers seeking historic surroundings, local museums and independent shops on the doorstep.
Practicalities to note: the walls are likely uninsulated solid brick and the double glazing dates from before 2002, so further insulation or upgrades could improve energy efficiency. Broadband speeds in the area are slow and there is no private parking (on-street only), though two free parking permits are available for nearby pay-and-display car parks. The property lies in a medium flood-risk area — purchasers should obtain flood insurance and professional flood-risk advice.
This cottage will suit an investor seeking a holiday-let income stream or a buyer wanting a low-maintenance, characterful home in a unique, historic location. Some targeted upgrades (insulation, modern broadband solution) would enhance comfort and long-term running costs.
