- Detached 3‑bed cottage with separate 1‑bed annexe and balcony
- Far‑reaching countryside views over Shropshire Hills
- Very large plot, landscaped lawns, sweeping gravel driveway
- Double garage, office/gym and ample parking/turning space
- EPC F; likely uninsulated stone walls and higher running costs
- Oil-fired Rayburn heating; septic tank drainage
- Very slow broadband; rural location, excellent mobile signal
- Built 1740: lots of character but potential need for upgrades
A substantial detached 18th‑century country cottage set on a very large plot with far‑reaching views across the Shropshire Hills. The main house offers three bedrooms, three reception rooms, two bathrooms and flexible circulation across two staircases — ideal for family living, home working and multi‑generational use. The plot includes generous lawns, mature planting, a sweeping gravel driveway and a double garage with additional office/gym space.
A notable asset is the self‑contained one‑bed annexe with its own living/kitchen area, shower room and balcony — useful for independent relatives, long‑stay guests or holiday‑let income. The property combines traditional features (exposed stone, beams, slate hearth, oak mantle, flag and quarry tiles) with useful modern additions such as double glazing and integrated kitchen appliances. The oil Rayburn provides cooking, heating and hot water, and there is ample outbuilding/storage space.
Important practical points: the house dates from 1740 and the original sandstone/limestone walls appear uninsulated; the EPC is rated F and the property uses oil central heating with a septic tank drainage system. Broadband speeds are very slow in the area. These factors mean some retrofit and energy‑efficiency work will be required if you prioritise lower running costs and modern connectivity.
For buyers wanting a large rural family home with excellent privacy, space for hobbies and an income‑capable annexe, this property is a rare find. It suits those prepared to invest in improving energy performance and updating services to contemporary standards, in exchange for significant character, scope and scenic countryside living.
