Property - Dudgeley Cottage dates back to the 19th Century, has since been extended and most recently has been thoughtfully updated. The property has a huge amount of charm and character whilst still providing lovely, flowing, well proportioned accommodation set over two floors.

On entering the property there is a lovely garden room with tiled floor that has wonderful views of the gardens and beyond, this is a great place for peace and quiet. The garden room leads into the open plan kitchen dining room, creating a wonderful open space.

The sitting room is beautifully presented, with exposed wooden beams and has a feature fireplace with stone surround, hearth and log burner creating an inviting atmosphere.

There is an additional entrance door to the garden room and French doors leading to the patio and gardens. The views of The Caradoc Hills from here are simply spectacular.

Outside - The property is approached over a gated cattle grid leading to the private driveway to the front of the property, which offers plenty of parking and a large garage that includes a 3 meter inspection pit.

The garage has a huge amount of potential to be converted to a garden room, annex or potentially even a holiday let, given the demand locally – all would be subject to the necessary planning permissions. There is mains electricity connected to the garage providing lighting and sockets.

The gardens wrap around the property and offer extensive space to achieve something fabulous. This outdoor space offers lawned areas, numerous fruit trees including a large walnut tree and many shrubs. The extended garden offers the potential to have a small paddock.
