Location, endorsed by Houseman and AONB

How could anyone fail to be wooed by “Those Blue Remembered Hills.” Houseman country has much going for it – and Mardu Cottage is set where his heart was full; in what is now recognised as South Shropshire’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
On the market with Balfours, Mardu Cottage is a 4 bedroom home set within 3/4 of an acre of gardens, where the extensive views offer a quintessentially perfect backcloth.
Mardu’s namesake hamlet is just 3 miles from the renowned village of Clun, where everyday needs are easily met. No less than four market towns are within easy reach, Ludlow and Shrewsbury notable for their independent shops, restaurants and architecture.
A driveway, leads to an oak porch where the welcome leads into a dining/reception hall with onwards access to the sitting room and inner hall. Off the sitting room is a study, benefitting from significant shelving, French doors and glazing to two aspects.
At the opposite side of the dining room a sunroom provides a further retreat. Beyond the inner hall with staircase and cloakroom is the bespoke contemporary kitchen. There are 4 double bedrooms on the first floor, one of which benefits from an en-suite shower room, plus there is a family bathroom with shower and bath.
Balfours Cathrine Barre comments: “This is a truly idyllic location wanting for nothing, where cottage character have been tastefully choreographed with high specification 21st century finishes.
The whole is utterly tranquil, reflected by the success of a one bedroom cabin, awarded Gold Certification by Visit England and currently generating income; equally it could be utilised for extended family, or own guests. A wood fired hot-tub adds to this magical location,” she adds.
Balfours are marketing Mardu Cottage with a guide price of £850,000. For more information call 01584 707100.
