Idyllic four bed cottage under the Wrekin

An idyllic cottage, tucked under the Wrekin at Little Wenlock, boasting to be the second highest village in Shropshire, has been launched to the market by Balfours.

White Cottage is found less than 3 miles from Telford and the M54, offering easy commutes to Shrewsbury and the Midlands. Balfours, Amy Meldrum-Beechey, comments: “Clever design achieves the quintessential qualities of a country cottage, believed to date back to the 15^th century.

“Meanwhile no less than 3 pairs of south facing French doors from 2 reception rooms and the breakfast room, open to the terrace flooding in natural light, also providing access to the terrace and delightful gardens, all of which are on home hunters wish lists,” adds Amy.

The main entrance is via a pretty portico on the gable end welcoming from the gravel parking area to the hall, with utility off. This cottage provides 3 good sized reception rooms, currently family room, sitting room and dining room, with inner hall and cloakroom off. Cosy appeal is not only achieved with exposed timbers and overhead beams, but Clearview stove and a traditional working cast iron range in the dining room.

The kitchen has a classic Rayburn, the units and working area benefit from glazing to either end, plus steps linking the conservatory offering a fabulous, elevated breakfast space with French doors opening to the terrace.

On the first floor are 4 bedrooms, the master room being en-suite with dressing room area, plus an adjoining 5th bedroom, providing options for a nursery, study, or fitness room, while a family bathroom completes first floor accommodation.

Amy adds: “White Cottage achieves a sense of place with its’ beautifully presented and well stocked gardens, together with picture perfect views of the countryside extending to the historic Ironbridge Gorge. It also has panning permission for a garage.” Balfours are marketing White Cottage with a guide price of £695,000. For more information call 01743 353511.
