Summary - Rockley Wood Cottage, Chirbury SY15 6UB
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious family home with generous gardens and scope to modernise.
Four double bedrooms with character features and countryside views
Set on the outskirts of Chirbury, this four-bedroom detached cottage combines Victorian character with expansive countryside views. The accommodation includes a farmhouse-style kitchen with aga, multiple reception rooms, a sun room and first-floor bedrooms that enjoy open aspects over generous gardens. Two garages, a workshop, parking and a large plot offer practical space for vehicles, storage and outdoor hobbies.
Practicalities: the house is heated by an oil boiler with radiators and draws water from an on-site borehole; drainage is to a septic tank. The property has double glazing but the solid stone walls are likely uninsulated and the current EPC rating is F, so upgrading insulation, heating and services would improve comfort and running costs. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, reflecting the remoter rural location.
This home will suit families or buyers seeking a character cottage with room to personalise and improve. The gardens have been thoughtfully planted with a wildlife pond, productive areas and seating zones, making the grounds a genuine selling point. Note the council tax band is high (Band F in Powys) and buyers should budget for modernization and potential energy-efficiency works.
Overall this property offers immediate rural charm and generous outdoor space, balanced by clear practical renovation needs. It’s a good prospect for those wanting a spacious, private family home in a very quiet hamlet, with potential to add value through targeted upgrades.
