Surrounded by peaceful Shropshire countryside and set close to the England/Wales border, this beautiful semi-detached cottage offers a delightful escape to space-seeking couples and small families with the dog in tow. If you fancy bringing more guests, then you’ll be happy to hear that a twin property shares the same site. With the market towns of Shrewsbury (14 miles) and Whitchurch (7 miles) nearby, culture vultures will find it easy to live life as a local. Walkers and lovers of the outdoors will enjoy exploring local rural trails and country lanes, as well as adventures through Hawkstone Park Follies’ 100 acres of woodlands, hills, caves and gullies. Soak up the local history with visits to the National Trust's Attingham Park (16 miles) and the ancient ruins of Wroxeter Roman City (17 miles). Other nearby attractions include Tilstock Sky Diving (5 miles) and the Shropshire Falconry (5.5 miles).

Before stepping into this wonderful property, take a moment to appreciate the surrounding scenery made up of well-manicured gardens and distant countryside. As you step inside, the rural charm continues in the form of a welcoming, country-style kitchen. Here, you’ll find all you need to whip up feasts for your loved ones, who can gather at the nearby dining table to enjoy the chef’s work or dine alfresco out in the garden, when the weather permits. The kitchen also boasts tiled flooring, perfect for dogs returning from adventures with muddy paws. After dinner, amble through to the social heart of the home, the sumptuous lounge. This warming room plays host to a crackling wood burner, a Smart TV and comfy seating, offering all you need for cosy movie nights together after long days out. When the sun is shining, throw open the French doors to the garden and let the countryside air flow through. The lounge also plays host to a snug alcove with a desk, chair and lamp, providing the perfect spot for answering any mid-holiday emails. At the end of each day away, climb the cottage stairs and choose from two beautifully appointed bedrooms – a super-king-size that can be converted to a twin on request, and an inviting double room. A contemporary family bathroom completes the first floor and interior, with shower over the bath.

Accessed from the lounge, the outdoor space at this property offers a delightful spot to take in the fresh air and soak in the Shropshire sun. This large, enclosed and verdant space provides plenty of room for garden games and for any dogs to let off some steam. Guests will also find bistro-style table and chairs, perfect for quiet morning coffees and evening tipples. Private parking for four cars on the driveaway is also available.
