Cherry Tree Cottage is a well-maintained two-bedroom barn conversion set on the edge of Cross Houses, quietly placed in a small courtyard. The property blends character features — exposed beams and vaulted ceilings — with practical living spaces including a generous lounge, kitchen breakfast room and sizeable entrance hall. The recently replaced oil boiler (Dec 2023) reduces immediate maintenance concerns for heating.
The house sits on a decent enclosed rear garden with paved patio and lawn, plus private parking for two and a single garage that houses the oil tank. Its location offers countryside walks and quick road access to Shrewsbury and the A5, making it convenient without losing rural calm. Freehold tenure and no onward chain simplify the purchase process.
Practical considerations are clear: heating is oil-fired rather than mains gas, and drainage is connected to a shared septic tank serving five properties. Broadband speeds are very slow here, and mobile signal is average — important for anyone reliant on fast home internet. Council Tax band D applies.
This cottage will suit downsizers or countryside buyers who value character, outdoor space and easy road links, and who are comfortable with oil heating and a septic drainage arrangement. Overall the house offers immediate move-in condition with potential to personalise the kitchen or bathroom in future if desired.
