Summary - OLD CROSS GUNS, SHREWSBURY, CROWS NEST, SNAILBEACH SY5 0LU
4 bed 2 bath Character Property
Spacious four-bedroom cottage with garden, workshop and far-reaching rural views.
Over 400 years of history with original stone walls and oak beams
Hidden among the rolling Shropshire hills, Old Cross Guns is a substantial character home with over 400 years of history carefully married to sympathetic modern upgrades. Exposed stone walls, original wide floorboards and oak beams give the house a strong sense of story, while a newly renovated interior provides comfortable, ready-to-live-in accommodation for families or those seeking a rural retreat.
The ground floor centres around a light-filled kitchen with bespoke timber units, granite and oak surfaces and a working Rayburn that provides cooking, heating and hot water. Interconnected reception rooms — lounge with a log-burner, dining room and an adaptable former stable room — create flexible living spaces for everyday family life and entertaining. Four distinct bedrooms occupy the upper levels, including a vaulted double and a tranquil master with countryside views.
Outside, a sizeable garden, elevated stone terrace and a substantial workshop support an outdoor lifestyle and practical hobbies. The home sits in a peaceful, private hamlet setting with very low crime and excellent mobile signal — ideal for countryside living. Practical points to note: the property lies in a remoter community with limited local services, and broadband speeds are slow, which may affect heavy home-working or streaming needs.
Off-street parking, utility room with rear access, and the freehold tenure make this a sweeping, characterful opportunity for a family seeking space, history and immediate comfort in a scenic Shropshire location.
