This Grade II* Listed property, steeped in history and dating back to the 17th century, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Located in a picturesque Shropshire village, the home showcases remarkable stone carvings and original features that highlight its historical significance. A large detached barn on the premises offers further potential for conversion or development (subject to planning permissions), enhancing the property's value.
Situated near the heart of the village, this residence benefits from a tranquil setting while being conveniently close to local amenities including shops, a primary school, a doctor's surgery, and several pubs and restaurants. For those who appreciate outdoor activities, the Severn Valley Country Park nearby provides extensive walking paths along the countryside and riverside. The property is also well-placed for commuters, with easy access to Kidderminster and Bridgnorth.
Inside, The Old Bell House features an inviting entrance hall adorned with exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace that sets a warm tone throughout. The living room is bright with a large bay window and includes a log burner for cozy evenings. An extension currently serves as an office space and includes a modern shower room with toilet facilities. The spacious kitchen leads into the dining room, which opens onto the garden—ideal for entertaining or family gatherings.
Upstairs, you’ll find a principal bedroom characterized by its vaulted ceiling and charming views. Three additional bedrooms offer comfortable living spaces adorned with exposed beams, all showcasing delightful vistas of the surrounding area. The modern family bathroom provides another view over the village while there are also separate facilities for convenience.
Externally, the property boasts an expansive garden featuring mature plants, fruit trees, a greenhouse, and a garden pond—a peaceful retreat that complements the home’s historic charm. Ample parking is provided by a substantial driveway with accessible pathways around the property.
Crucially for investors or those looking to expand their living space, planning permission has been granted for an extension to the dining room that would introduce another bedroom (reference: 09/02811/LBC on Shropshire's planning portal). This underscores the property's renovation potential while also enhancing its investment appeal due to additional living space options.
The property is offered as freehold with all mains services connected. Interested parties should verify these details with their solicitors or surveyors as appropriate. Viewings are available strictly by appointment through our Bridgnorth office.
