A rare Grade II listed former toll house dating from c.1835, The Umbrella House offers pronounced period character and a very large garden on a generous plot. Believed to be linked to Thomas Telford, the property retains original stone and brickwork, a working fireplace and a compact, practical layout across an average-sized footprint.
Sold by modern auction and offered freehold, this two-bedroom bungalow requires renovation throughout but was recently lived in. The accommodation includes a kitchen/breakfast room, main reception with fireplace, principal bedroom with adjoining shower room, second bedroom and a bathroom. The EPC is D and council tax is low (Band B).
The site includes substantial off-street parking and a large rear garden with mature trees — strong assets for conversion or extension (subject to listed-building constraints). The house sits off a quiet lane with easy access to the M54 and Telford amenities, plus rail links for commuters.
Important considerations: the property’s listed status will complicate works and may restrict alterations; it needs updating and renovation. It will be sold at auction with buyer fees, a non-refundable reservation fee, and a Buyer Information Pack — bidders should obtain specialist mortgage advice and view the pack before bidding. Broadband is very slow locally and recorded local crime is above average.
