Nestled at the end of a private lane in Snailbeach, Hillocks Cottage is a spacious four-bedroom detached country home that blends period character with high-spec contemporary upgrades. The house centres on a dramatic sunroom with a double-height bay and spiral staircase, a newly fitted bespoke kitchen with Rayburn and Neff appliances, and a cosy lounge featuring a Clearview log burner set in a deep brick inglenook. Landscaped gardens, a double garage and a gated tarmac driveway complete the picture.
The layout works well for family life: a generous kitchen/dining space that opens to the garden, an adjoining utility and cloakroom, a mezzanine/home-office overlooking the sunroom, and four double bedrooms including a principal suite with dressing area and en-suite. Recent high-quality finishes and bespoke storage give the property a comfortable, ready-to-live-in feel while retaining rustic features such as exposed beams and brickwork.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important for buyers: heating and hot water are provided by an oil-fired boiler, broadband speeds in the area are slow, and the property sits in a remote hamlet setting that favours privacy over immediate services. The plot is large and offers scope for further adaptation or extension subject to planning consent, which may appeal to buyers wanting to personalise the home.
Hillocks Cottage will suit families seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle with strong character and modern comforts, or buyers who value garden space and privacy. The property is freehold, council tax band E, and lies approximately 10 miles from Shrewsbury, with local schools and countryside amenities within easy reach.
