Family bathroom with shower and separate bath
Large 1.8 acre plot with paddock and garden

Set within 1.8 acres in rural Woodwall Green, this three-bedroom detached cottage offers significant scope for transformation. The house retains period character — exposed beams, a fireplace and dual-aspect living rooms — but requires comprehensive renovation to realise its potential. Ideal for buyers wanting a project and space, the accommodation totals about 1,496 sq ft across a traditional multi-storey layout.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom with shower and bath; two bedrooms include built-in wardrobes. The ground floor has two reception rooms, a breakfast room, a kitchen with classic fixtures, and a store ready to become a ground-floor W.C. The property includes a garage, workshop, log cabin, two greenhouses and a pergola — useful for hobbies, storage and small-scale smallholding activity (smallhold licence in place).
Outdoor space is the standout: 1.8 acres of gardens and paddock provide privacy, scope for grazing or extensive gardens, and multiple outbuildings. The gated driveway offers off-street parking for several vehicles. Practical downsides include very slow broadband, an expensive council tax band, and the property’s renovation status — it needs updating throughout. Its remoter village setting offers quiet rural living but means amenities and faster transport links are found in nearby Eccleshall.
This is a clear opportunity for families or buyers seeking a countryside project with substantial land. Bring a renovation plan and realistic budget to unlock the cottage’s character, and you’ll be rewarded with a private, versatile home in a low-crime rural community.
