PLEASE SEE PROPERTY VIDEO BELOW

Formerly two quarry worker cottages when originally built in 1803, before being unified into one dwelling and further extended by the current owners. This gated cottage is the very epitome of everyone's romantic idea of what a fully refurbished, country cottage would look like. 

Sitting in approximately 1.5 acres of gardens, this dwelling retains many of the original features giving the property gravitas and substance. Beautifully decorated throughout in stylish pastel colours creating a relaxing, spacious and versatile living space with luxurious touches in terms of fixtures & fittings.

However, what really makes this cottage unique; in my experience, are the efforts that have been made to make this dwelling a highly sustainable "green" home. It has solar panels and a ground source heat pump which provides it with "B" energy rating which is extremely rare for a 200 year old cottage. 

If ever you've had a yearning to live and empathetically enjoy a rural lifestyle in a truly stunning setting yet still only 2 miles away from the market town of Oswestry - then don't miss this opportunity of viewing Elm Cottage, a quite enchanting, charming and bespoke home.

Approach Not provided
This property has an abundance of kerb appeal, standing back from the road, it is a gated dwelling with a stone built perimeter wall.

This is a reception room that will immediately make an impression, and whereas it is a generously proportioned room, it’s not that on its own that stays with you.

In addition, you have two, front facing and one side facing, double glazed cottage windows and a side facing, part glazed hardwood, external door . There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor with individual thermostatic controls in each room , the stairwell to the first floor accommodation is to right hand side along with an useful under stairs, storage cupboard.

Additional Information Not provided
There are numerous walks both short and more demanding routes and it is a dog walker’s idea of paradise, only approximately a third of a mile from Elm Cottage is the famous Old Racecourse, a local secret no less. On a walk you would be the magnificence of the Shropshire plain to the East and the majesty of the Berwyn mountains of Wales to the West – don’t be surprised if the experience leaves you awestruck. Oswestry is a busy market town just over two miles away with all the amenities you will need on a day to day basis but it also has some additional attractions which you may not expect ,due to the Town having more than its fair share of independent and specialist shops. The Willow Art Gallery is certainly worth a visit where you can also enjoy a spot of lunch whilst at the Gallery also the Booka Independent Bookshop is also worth a visit, where you can cast your eye over the latest publications and over a cup of coffee seek further information about a book or a subject.
