Characterful former miner’s cottage with stunning views and generous grounds.
Edge of Stiperstones National Nature Reserve with direct access
This extended former miner’s cottage sits in an elevated, private position on the edge of the Stiperstones National Nature Reserve, making it ideal for walkers, dog owners and anyone seeking a rural retreat. The house blends period character — exposed beams, inglenook and stone walls — with versatile accommodation including a generous open-plan kitchen/garden room and a triple-aspect room with terrace access.
The grounds are a major draw: terraced gardens, specimen trees, viewing platforms with direct access onto the reserve, and a substantial insulated timber cabin with power and water — useful as a workshop or home office. Practical features include a double carport, off-street parking and a range of outbuildings.
Buyers should note the property’s age and construction: granite walls likely without modern insulation, oil-fired heating and an EPC rating of E indicate opportunities for energy-efficiency improvements. Access is along a single track with passing places and the location is semi-remote, so expect rural living trade-offs such as average mobile signal and the need to travel for extensive services.
Overall this is a characterful, large cottage on a generous plot offering exceptional views and direct reserve access. It will particularly suit buyers who value landscape, outdoor pursuits and are prepared to invest in energy and maintenance upgrades to enhance long-term comfort and efficiency.
