Whispering tales from 1740, Black Park is a symphony of character and potential, far beyond a traditional cottage. Nestled in a private haven, yet conveniently accessible, it unveils breath-taking panoramas of the Shropshire Hills, encompassing the iconic Wrekin, Stiperstones, and Beacon Ring - all designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Step inside and discover a characterful haven where exposed stone walls, timber beams, and quarry tiled floors exude warmth and whisper timeless stories. Gather loved ones in the spacious lounge, savour memorable meals in the dedicated dining room, or unwind in the cosy snug. The well-equipped kitchen and utility room cater to your culinary desires, while a conveniently located downstairs bathroom ensures comfort.

Black Park offers flexible sleeping arrangements. Two separate staircases invite privacy and possibilities. One leads to two double bedrooms, one boasting a refreshing en-suite. The second staircase leads to a generously proportioned double bedroom, where exposed beams add rustic charm and three windows bathe the space in natural light, revealing breath-taking countryside vistas.

Across the sweeping driveway lies an impressive detached timber-clad annexe, offering a world of potential. Downstairs, a double garage, log store, and office/gym room provide practical solutions, while upstairs, an open-plan living area with kitchenette, shower room, and double bedroom awaits. Imagine this as a lucrative holiday let, a private haven for family or guests, or an independent living space for loved ones. Step outside onto the raised deck and be mesmerized by the panoramic views of the Shropshire Hills.

Beyond the walls, tranquil havens unfold. Immerse yourself in the vast lawns and breath-taking countryside views, breathing in the fresh air and embracing the quiet serenity of your surroundings.
