Set in a peaceful hamlet west of Shrewsbury, Yew Tree Cottage is a detached two-bedroom home with generous living space and substantial outbuildings. The large living room with a wood-burning stove and separate dining room create warm, flexible family spaces, while the huge kitchen with a sitting area and adjacent study lead through to a lean-to conservatory overlooking the garden.
The plot is a major asset: a large garden, ample off-street parking, and a sizeable workshop and garage provide excellent storage, hobby or small-business potential. The property sits in a rural workers-and-families community with low crime and good local primary schooling close by, making it well suited to families seeking countryside living within reach of Shrewsbury.
Practical considerations: many interior elements date from the mid-20th century and a 1970s–80s kitchen will need modernising for contemporary tastes. Broadband and mobile signal are average in this remoter location, and council tax is above average. The house is freehold and not at flood risk, but the wider area shows relative deprivation, which may affect services and resale timing.
Overall this cottage will appeal to buyers looking for a characterful rural home with scope to update interiors and add value, or to those needing generous outbuildings and land for hobbies, storage or small-scale enterprise.
