Substantial restoration project with original features and large garden near Ironbridge.
Detached early 17th-century cottage with strong period features
Large plot with off-street parking for five cars
Five bedrooms; fifth bedroom has separate entrance and kitchenette
Basement cellar, workshop and multiple reception rooms
Property requires full renovation; in poor condition
Limited lending opportunities; cash or specialist finance likely needed
Slow broadband and average mobile signal in the area
Expensive council tax to be budgeted for
A rare early 17th-century detached cottage offering expansive period character and substantial renovation potential. The house retains inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams and an original Jackfield mosaic dining-room floor that give a strong historical identity and scope for a striking restoration.
Set on a large plot with off-street parking for five cars and a barbecue area, the property includes multiple reception rooms, a basement cellar, workshop and a self-contained fifth bedroom/sitting room with its own entrance — useful for multi-generational living or a rental annexe once refurbished. Nearby attractions include the River Severn, the Jackfield Tile Museum and Ironbridge, while Telford town centre and the M54 are about fifteen minutes away.
The house is in poor condition and requires a full renovation. Parts of the building need major works and the listing notes limited lending availability, so a cash buyer or specialist funding is likely. Practical drawbacks include slow broadband, average mobile signal and expensive council tax, all factors to budget for alongside building costs.
This is a project for a buyer seeking a high-character restoration in an affluent area with strong local heritage. If you want to preserve original features and add modern comforts, the plot size and layout offer excellent scope to create a standout family home or a distinctive income opportunity once fully renovated.
