Description

This charming detached cottage offers a unique opportunity for modernisation in a tranquil setting near the Shropshire Union Canal. Nestled away from the main road, the property boasts stunning views over adjacent farmland and is available with no chain. The cottage features a spacious layout, including an entrance hall, a cozy sitting room, and a large open-plan kitchen/diner that leads to a utility room. Upstairs, you will find two generous double bedrooms along with a family bathroom equipped with both a bath and a separate shower. Externally, the property is approached via a shared private track leading to a communal parking area. It comes with a garage and a useful outbuilding that includes a workshop and an outside W.C. The rear patio/courtyard area is perfect for outdoor relaxation, while the attractive west-facing seating area at the front takes full advantage of the rural landscape. The substantial gardens are a standout feature, complete with lawns, a garden shed, and a greenhouse, extending down to a mature hedge that borders the canal, providing immediate access to picturesque canal-side walks. This property is brimming with character and potential for those looking to create their dream home.

Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This charming mid-terraced cottage is a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with character and charm. Priced at £250,000, the asking figure is notably cheap compared to the local average of £267/sqf, making it an attractive acquisition for buyers seeking value. While the property does show signs of wear and is in need of modernisation, particularly in the living areas, kitchen, and bathroom, this provides a blank canvas for prospective homeowners to create their ideal space.

The overall condition indicates that a light/typical renovation is required, with potential costs estimated between £40,000 and £80,000. However, with all-in costs looking tight against local benchmarks, it's essential to keep this in mind as you plan your project. The good-sized garden and garage add further appeal, and the peaceful location near the Shropshire Union Canal enhances the property’s charm. This is a solid project for those ready to roll up their sleeves and bring this cottage into the modern age.
