Description
The Mill House is a splendid country residence, offering a wealth of adaptable accommodation together with a beautifully converted detached annexe. Set in an idyllic rural position, the property combines space, character, and lifestyle potential, making it ideal for family living, multi-generational use, or as a unique income-generating opportunity.
The main house provides three generously proportioned bedrooms and a series of versatile reception rooms, offering the perfect balance between comfort and practicality. The heart of the home is the L-shaped, open-plan kitchen and dining area, complete with tiled flooring, a brick-built fireplace, a central butcher’s block island, a split butler sink, and an Esse cast-iron range.
This sociable space is perfectly suited to everyday family life, with room for a large dining table, while the adjoining sun room, with its triple aspect and ceiling lantern skylight, floods the interior with natural light and opens directly onto the gardens.
The ground floor also features a well-proportioned sitting room with tiled flooring and a woodburning stove, offering a cosy retreat, alongside additional reception rooms that can be used flexibly as a snug, playroom, or study. A turned staircase rises to the first floor, where three spacious bedrooms enjoy far-reaching views across the gardens and countryside. Two benefit from built-in storage, while a family bathroom includes both a bathtub and a separate shower unit.
Overall, the main house is both welcoming and adaptable – a property that can grow with a family, while also offering exciting scope for modernisation and enhancement.
The Old Mill Cottage
Formerly a working water mill, this detached cottage has been thoughtfully converted to create a superb second dwelling. The design successfully blends modern style with original character, making it equally suited to extended family, guest accommodation, or as a potential holiday let.
The property offers two spacious bedrooms, each with beautifully appointed en suite facilities, providing comfort and privacy. At the heart of the cottage lies a striking open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting area. This light-filled space is ideal for entertaining, combining sleek contemporary finishes with rustic charm. The use of natural materials and the thoughtful layout create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while large windows frame views over the gardens and surrounding countryside.
This cottage provides a wonderful lifestyle element to the property and adds considerable versatility, whether as a private retreat, a source of income, or additional accommodation for multi-generational living.
Outside
The property is approached via a single-track lane, leading to a parking area in front of the house and to the side annexe. The grounds extend to approximately 3.8 acres, running down to the River Meese, and include landscaped gardens, rolling lawns, meadows, and a peaceful pond. The main house enjoys a patio for outdoor dining, while the annexe benefits from a private decked terrace.
Additional features include a shepherd’s hut, a garaging and workshop block, and outbuildings extending to around 1,042 sq ft, offering further storage or conversion opportunities (subject to consent). An elevated meadow, separated by a small crag, houses a large solar facility that provides power to both the house and annexe.
The land itself lends considerable scope, including equestrian use, and benefits from planning approval for an access track and the conversion of outbuildings into campsite amenity blocks. With Caravan and Camping Club certification for up to 15 pitches, the property presents significant potential as a lifestyle business alongside its function as a private home.
Location
Great Bolas is a small, picturesque village set amidst gently rolling Shropshire countryside. Known for its sense of community and rural charm, the village provides a peaceful retreat while still being exceptionally well connected.

For a wider choice of amenities, the larger centres of Telford and Shrewsbury are easily accessible and provide comprehensive shopping, leisure, and cultural facilities.

The area is also noted for its access to beautiful walking, cycling, and riding routes, making it an appealing location for those seeking a balance between rural lifestyle and modern convenience.
