Description - Moss Hill Cottage occupies a slightly elevated position on Long Hill Lane. It was built in the early 1980's of brick under a tiled roof and approached over a block paved drive. The accommodation extends to about 1350 square feet plus the integral tandem double garage (300 square feet). Aesthetically it is interesting and appealing and ideal for thoses who want a single storey dwelling. We envisage that the next owners will want to modernise and adapt the accommodation to their own taste and specification.

This property is offered for sale with no on going chain, has been priced at a deliberately fair level and a viewing is essential to understand the rarity value of what is on offer.

Externally there is also much to be recommended. There is a well stocked garden and paddock of permanent pasture. The land is ideal for those with equestrian or small stock keeping interests and gives the overall feel of substantial space and openness.

Location & Amenities - The property is situated about one mile from Audlem village centre. Audlem is an attractive country village, the centre of which is designated as a conservation area, well known for its historic church dating back to 1279. Also of interest is the Shropshire Union canal which runs close to the village centre and the former Grammar school which was built during the reign of James the First. The sought after, award winning, village of Audlem caters for daily needs with a local co-operative store, post office, newsagents, dry cleaners, butchers, flower shop, restaurant, two cafes, three public houses and a medical centre.
