About
A charming two-storey detached cottage dating back to 1844, offering spacious and versatile accommodation, ideal for buyers seeking convenient single-floor living or multi-generational families.
Located in the centre of this popular hamlet and on the outskirts of the sought after village of Halfway House, the property features a generous ground-floor bedroom with a large ensuite, multiple reception rooms, and a flexible layout.
With a private rear garden, driveway, detached garage, and no onward chain, this home perfectly balances space, privacy, and convenience.
This detached cottage has been thoughtfully extended to create a flexible and versatile home.
The ground floor includes a kitchen breakfast room, sitting room, lounge/diner, and a spacious bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a large ensuite – ideal for a dependent relative, elderly parents, or anyone preferring single-floor living.
The dual aspect living room was once a bedroom, and the adjoining office space previously served as an ensuite, with plumbing still in place, offering further potential for conversion.
Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a shower room.
Set in a private, yet accessible, location in the popular village of Wattlesborough and on the outskirts of Halfway House, the property enjoys a secluded feel despite being near the road.
Outside, there is a delightful enclosed garden, driveway parking, and a detached garage. The home benefits from oil central heating and uPVC double glazing throughout.
Local amenities include a village hall and café, with a wider range of shops, social facilities, and a rail service available in nearby Shrewsbury or Welshpool.
For families, a number of primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, including Radbrook Primary School, Belvidere Primary School, and secondary schools such as The Priory School and Meole Brace School.
Health facilities are also convenient, with Westbury Medical Centre nearby and several other GP surgeries in Shrewsbury and Welshpool.
Commuters benefit from immediate access to the A5 via Welshpool Road, linking north to Oswestry and south through to the M54 and Telford.
With its flexible layout, this home is equally suited to multi-generational families or buyers seeking the convenience of ground-floor living – a rare opportunity in a sought-after village setting.
