If, deep down, you are a “would-be” 'country bumpkin' but feel that living too far from civilization is a definite no, no, then this lovely end terraced cottage could be the ideal compromise!
Not that this is a ramshackle property with a tin bath on the wall and an outside privy. Far from it…..
From the moment you step inside, you realise that although much of the original character remains (including the patterned Minton style floor in the hallway), there is much about it that has been brought into the 21st century. For a start, it has been re-decorated and some walls re-plastered.
The current owners have re-configured and refurbished the kitchen with fitted appliances and has a rear facing window that takes full advantage of the long rear garden with its rural views beyond. There are two reception rooms, separated by a wide archway, the dining room having a rustic quarry tiled floor and the sitting room having a focal point fireplace housing a recently installed 'Clearview' multi-fuel stove, which is an absolute 'must' for cosy nights in during the winter months.
Upstairs, the large bathroom is large enough to host a party and both bedrooms may safely be described as 'doubles'.
Outside, the driveway provides off-road parking for 2 cars and the pretty, landscaped rear garden has well stocked borders and is enclosed for the safety of children and pets.
In summary, the setting is lovely and whereas you feel as though you could be miles from anywhere, the property is well placed for access to the town centre in one direction and beautiful rolling Shropshire countryside in the other.
Properties of this nature tend not to hang around for long and an early inspection is therefore strongly recommended!
