An interesting mature detached country cottage with land requiring a comprehensive scheme of modernisation or refurbishment, whilst set in delightful gardens with a brook and including various outbuildings, together with grazing land in a secluded and scenic rural locality with extensive views of the surrounding countryside and hills. IN ALL ABOUT 2.23 ACRES.

The villages of Minsterley (approx 7.1 miles) and Pontesbury (approx. 9.1 miles) are readily accessible and offer a range of amenities.

Outside, the cottage is set in lovely gardens which are particularly generous in size and have been extensively planted with roses to create a colourful scene during the flowering months.
