Situation - The property occupies a most sought after location positioned in open countryside between Little Ness and Forton. The area is noted for its unspoilt farmlands, whilst the neighbouring village of Baschurch provides a basic range of amenities including shop, pubs and the popular Corbett school. The area provides a selection of schools, both private and state, including the nearby Adcote School, Packwood Haugh, Shrewsbury School and the Sixth Form College. Shrewsbury itself offers an excellent range of amenities with a very good shopping centre, range of international restaurants, leisure and social amenities. Alternatively there is Oswestry to the north and Chester thereon.

Description - This interesting country property sits well within its plot, positioned unusually set back from the adjacent lane and surrounded by its own land. The house itself requires extensive modernisation and refurbishment, though lends itself to be either redeveloped or remodelled and extended subject to any necessary planning consents. The existing accommodation offers an entrance boot room with a store and separate WC off. The kitchen is located adjacent to the existing shower room, whilst there are two useful size reception rooms (both providing open fireplaces). On the first floor, there are three good size bedrooms providing a wonderful outlook over its own land.

Externally, the long driveway provides ample space for the erection of outbuildings, stabling and barns which have been mainly demolished. The grounds and land are set around the cottage and are ideal for relandscaping and dividing into paddocks for those interested in equestrian pursuits or otherwise.
