Evelith Mill Cottage is a distinctive mid-19th century detached home set in about seven acres of private grounds, including a wildlife-rich pool fed by a brook and mature woodland. The house combines period character—exposed timber framing, leaded windows and stone fireplaces—with practical modern touches such as a recently refitted breakfast kitchen and LPG-fired central heating. Extensive powered outbuildings, a garage with mezzanine and a timber cabin expand usable space for hobbies, home-working or ancillary uses.
The setting is a major draw: a gated entrance and long private drive lead to generous lawns, specimen trees and secluded walking routes around the pond. The garden room, lounge and dining room all open onto the grounds, making the cottage feel well connected to its landscape. With roughly 1,950 sq ft across multiple storeys and ten rooms in total, the layout suits families, those seeking flexible living space or buyers wanting a country retreat with room for activities.
Buyers should consider several practical issues before viewing. The property has a history of flooding; although flood-defence work has been undertaken and there has been no recent flooding, risk is still recorded as high and insurance is in place. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal only average, which may affect home-working without investment in connectivity. The house has solid brick walls with assumed no insulation and an older heating fuel (LPG), so energy efficiency and running costs may be higher than a modern build. Council Tax is in a higher band.
Overall, Evelith Mill Cottage offers rare scale and privacy close to Shifnal and local transport links. It will particularly suit buyers looking for character, large grounds and adaptable outbuildings, and those prepared to manage or invest in flood mitigation, connectivity improvements and energy upgrades.
