Description

This charming detached cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, ideally situated in a picturesque rural setting known for its outstanding natural beauty. Encompassing approximately 12.41 acres, the property not only offers significant potential for expansion and improvement (subject to necessary planning permissions) but also benefits from both outbuildings and grazing land, making it a compelling option for those with vision. Nestled conveniently between Shrewsbury and the market town of Bishops Castle, the location provides easy access to amenities in nearby villages such as Minsterley and Pontesbury. The area is particularly appealing to outdoor enthusiasts, with an abundance of walking trails and riding paths in close proximity, while commuters will appreciate the ease of travel to Shrewsbury and connections to the A5 leading to the M54 motorway. The cottage itself features two bedrooms on the first floor along with a ground-floor layout that includes a living room with a log-burning stove, a sitting room, kitchen, and bathroom. Although currently livable, the interior holds significant potential for modernization to create a more contemporary living space. The gardens around the cottage feature overgrown areas that once served as shrub beds and vegetable patches, providing an opportunity for reimagining these spaces into beautifully landscaped gardens. The property is complemented by a range of corrugated outbuildings offering storage solutions or potential workshop space. There is also ample off-road parking available. The surrounding land consists of gently sloping pasture divided into four main paddocks that showcase stunning views across the countryside—an ideal canvas for agricultural or recreational use. In summary, this property not only provides a comfortable dwelling but also possesses valuable land and renovation potential in a sought-after rural location. Whether you're looking to make it your home or seeking an investment opportunity, this cottage represents an excellent prospect in today’s market.
