Set on an exceptionally large plot in the Shropshire Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Manor Farm Cottage is a roomy, characterful family home with far-reaching views of Brown Clee Hill. The property combines original features — exposed beams, a stone inglenook with bread oven, and sandstone walls — with recently upgraded kitchen and bathroom fittings and a bright glass-roofed breakfast area. Outside there is a studio/workshop, double garage (currently a gym), greenhouse and a brook with a small waterfall that enhances the peaceful setting.
The accommodation is flexible: a generous living/dining room, sun room, pantry and a ground-floor shower room sit alongside a separate fourth bedroom suite accessed from the kitchen, ideal for guests, a home office or multi-generational living. The master bedroom has direct access to a private terrace and uninterrupted views; two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor. Practicals include oil-fired central heating, double glazing, mains electricity and water, private drainage and generous off-street parking via a gravel driveway.
Buyers should note a few material points. The house is of traditional sandstone/limestone construction with assumed no wall insulation and areas will benefit from ongoing maintenance or energy upgrades. Heating is oil-fired (not a community supply) and drainage is private. Broadband and mobile are limited for a rural location (broadband noted as very slow in local data; a separate service note lists 40 Mbps). A public footpath runs along the other side of the brook into the garden. Council Tax Band F is higher than average.
Manor Farm Cottage will suit buyers prioritising space, privacy and countryside lifestyle — families, hobby gardeners or creatives seeking a studio — prepared to manage rural utilities and to invest in energy improvements where desired. Its combination of character, versatile accommodation and extensive gardens creates clear potential for comfortable long-term living or a countryside bolt-hole with room for projects.
