Summary - OAK APPLE COTTAGE, BRIDGNORTH, MONKHOPTON WV16 6SB
Five double bedrooms, principal suite with en suite bathroom
Oak Apple Cottage is a substantial five-bedroom barn conversion set in a peaceful hamlet near Bridgnorth. The house offers generous, characterful rooms with exposed beams, a large kitchen/breakfast room, two reception rooms linking to a south‑westerly rear garden and far‑reaching rural views — strong assets for family life and entertaining. The principal suite and two further double bedrooms provide comfortable private space, while bedroom five (accessed via separate stairs from the garage) works well as an office, studio or occasional bedroom.
Practical considerations are clear and should be factored into purchase plans. The property uses oil-fired central heating with a septic tank, solid brick walls likely without modern insulation, and double glazing installed before 2002 — these features mean running costs and retrofit work (insulation, heating upgrade) could be needed to improve efficiency. Broadband is noted as very slow despite fibre to the house, and the EPC is a D.
Outside, the large, well‑landscaped south‑westerly gardens, level lawns and paved terrace are major attractions, complemented by far‑reaching views and mature planting. Parking is generous: an attached double garage plus three allocated spaces. The cottage sits in a small shared gravel courtyard with three other properties; the courtyard is owned by neighbours with right of access and no formal maintenance agreement, which buyers should consider.
This home suits a family seeking rural character and space, or buyers wanting a period property with scope to improve energy performance and add contemporary conveniences. It offers immediate charm and comfortable living while presenting clear opportunities for sensible updating and investment in energy efficiency.
