Set at the end of a quiet lane in the Long Mynd Hills, Ivy Cottage combines period character with recent modernisation. The stone cottage offers two double bedrooms, an ensuite to the principal bedroom, and a large sitting/dining room centred around a wood-burning stove — all arranged over a thoughtful multi-story layout. Outside, a generous plot, terraced lawns and a powered summerhouse/studio create flexible outdoor living and working space.
Practical features include oil-fired central heating, underfloor heating in the kitchen, ample off-street parking and private services (septic tank drainage and water from a borehole). The property is chain free and benefits from direct access to AONB footpaths, bridleways and open countryside — ideal for walkers and country-living buyers.
Be aware of some rural considerations: broadband speeds are very slow, and the house relies on a private water supply and septic drainage, which have ongoing maintenance responsibilities. Heating is oil-fired (running costs variable) and there is only a single family bathroom plus an ensuite. These factors suit buyers prepared for rural living or seeking a low-traffic retreat, rather than those needing high-speed internet or mains services immediately.
Overall, Ivy Cottage is a characterful, newly renovated country home with strong outdoor appeal and flexible space for a home studio, ideal for downsizers or those wanting a countryside base within reach of Church Stretton and the Long Mynd Hills.
