The cottage was built in 1714 and is full of period charm which has been enhanced by the owners to perfection. As you enter into the spacious hallway, there is plenty of space for your coats and walking boots. Just to the right is the lounge which has a comfy sofa and a wood burner that you can rest beside while you watch a film on the Smart TV after a day exploring the local area. Continue through to the spacious kitchen which is well-equipped to rustle up some home-cooked food. You'll find an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with ice compartment and dishwasher. Just through the kitchen is the dining room where you can plan your days ahead and, on a nice day, open the patio doors to let in the fresh air whilst enjoying views across the garden. On the ground floor, there is also a walk-in shower room with a WC and a walk-in utility cloaks. As you head upstairs, there are two lovely rooms to choose from; the first is a double with a intriguing hidden en-suite shower room with a shower and WC (please note that due to the style of the property there are sloping ceilings and some reduced head height in this room). The second bedroom is a spacious twin with lovely views to wake up to. Please note that the staircase is steep and may be unsuitable for those with mobility issues. There are some uneven floors upstairs due to the age of the building and the en-suite has a low doorway through to the shower.
Outside there is a large sprawling garden with a convenient paved patio straight off the sun room being ideal for al fresco meals and a charcoal BBQ available. Beyond here is the stepped garden, with a herb garden, fruit trees, and an orchard with a wildlife garden and a vegetable patch with seasonal veg along with summer fruits. On the middle section there is a wonderful hand crafted wooden round house suitable for year round use with its handy roof, this space would be the most ideal relaxation space to put your feet up with a nice drink whilst looking out onto the Shropshire Hill AONB. The gate at the bottom of the garden allows for convenient access to the local playing fields and children's park. There is a free car park with plenty of car parking spaces nearby. There is a lockable store for bicycles and roadside parking available (subject to availability).
