Set just off the high street of popular Leintwardine, bordering the counties of South Shropshire, North Herefordshire and the Welsh Marches, this period cottage provides small families, couples, and friends with a cosy base from which to explore the delights of the surrounding area. The cottage's location allows guests to immerse themselves in the charming village atmosphere, with easy walks leading from the door to the two local, welcoming pubs. Visit historic Ludlow (10 miles), renowned for its medieval castle, vibrant cultural scene, and stunning Tudor architecture. The area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts; keen hikers can stride out through nearby Mortimer Forest (6 miles), head deep into the Shropshire Hills (5 miles), or enjoy easy access to both the Mortimer Trail and the Offa’s Dyke footpath (both within 10 miles).
Stepping into the property through the side porch offers access to the bright and welcoming conservatory/sitting room; boasting a sunny space overlooking the private garden where cosy sofas are gathered around a Smart TV – enjoy the sights and sounds of nature in the garden from this peaceful room. When stomachs start to rumble, head through to the well-appointed kitchen which boasts all you need to cook up feasts for your loved ones, perhaps using the local ingredients you sourced earlier in the day. Gather in the traditional dining room to enjoy the chef’s work, which is set in the original part of the cottage where low ceilings and exposed wooden beams combine with a electric wood effect stove in a large fireplace. Completing the ground floor is a handy utility/laundry room and a well-equipped family shower room. Heading upstairs, the character of this period cottage continues through its wonky walls and quirky spaces. At night, choose from two delightful double bedrooms, both with ample storage space and served by the family bathroom that completes the property’s interior.
To the rear of the cottage is a stunning, private garden, enclosed for the safety of young children and dogs. An abundance of plants, flowers and shrubs border this lovely space with a small lawn that is perfect for soaking in the sun. A flagged patio area offers outside seating and al fresco dining in good weather.
